    I have more than 80% of my credits on two different imaging Ai products. Prompts and crossing your fingers hoping you get what you want got pretty stale quick. Chat GPT never appealed to me. It seemed less about output than what it could gain from user input. The whole thing seems adversarial to the end user, like “if you don’t like it, your not doing it right” kind of attitude. I think the push to get us to adopt it in everyday use is to lower the responsibility and liability of those pushing it. It’s a bubble like all tech fads, but it will leave some sort of scar on our day to day.

    there is a great episode of Silicon Valley where this shitty billionaire uses a Siri like voice bot to control his son. that way he doesn’t have to be the bad guy when he wants his son to do something. this is exactly the power of Ai our corporate masters crave.

    Oh, ok. iFixit is in the DIY Repair and Sales industry. They are not as noble as they would have you believe. They are a for profit company. They are interested in selling you repair kits, batteries, screens, anti-static mats, and all things they can make a profit on. While promoting themselves as the defacto “right to repair company” they are also using other companies e-waste to build up their own business without actually repairing users products. They avoid any liability (sound familiar?) or responsibility as to having the repaired products actually work. They are a mail order auto-parts catalog. Which is a good thing. Trying to create a cottage industry of tinkerers, makers, and at home fixers is a much better than most tech business models. But this nonsense that they can “break up with” any other company is hilarious self fellating garbage.

    Look! I’m throwing a rock at an oil tanker because it’s bad! They are really gonna regret not paying attention to me now! As a matter of fact, I’m going to divorce that oil tanker! Ha! good luck without me oil tanker!>
