Yeah, neglected would be the better word. I think the software in some trains is actually from 93-94. During this time period of increased demand they just let it run with bare minimum maintenance.

Think of the savings though. Ikea as a military supplier. Everything is cardboard but it works. 4$ landmines. 19,99$ cardboard roll mortar? Don’t mind if we do.

Forget about the personality for a minute. They have a different thing in common. Uselessness. I tried AI for a bunch of general use cases and it almost always fails to satisfy. Either it just can’t do the task in the first place or it makes mistakes that then cost too much time to fix.

There are exceptions and specialized models will have their use but it’s not the Swiss army knife tool AI companies are promising.

The dumbest thing about wikipedia exec pay is that there’s barely anything for them to do that would justify it. It’s not like they’re plotting the course of the company. It’s doing the same thing it did 10 years ago and if everything goes well it’ll still be doing the same thing 10 years from now.

Here, let me take care of the 2026 workload by writing the Email for them.

Dear staff,

please continue as before.

XOXO Your CEO

This is all a sick game

Could be the name of the website. Close your eyes. Walk away from the screen.

Did the remove the slides? I bet they removed the slides.

This generation of software companies really seem to have abandoned all previous goals for “Let’s see how shit we can make this!”

“Sir, if we can finish our robot it could help with any household chores and even take over most of the care work for the elderly. Then in future patches we could make it waterboard the user unless they get the waterboardless premium subscription. Then we’ll increase the cost and slowly reintroduce waterboarding even for subscribers.”

Keep spending enough time online and you’ll turn into a shrimp person without radioactive shrimp. At least posture wise.

Because the real shrimp power was in our hearts all along.
