If anybody wants a smile btw, a MS employee told me they believe this Mastodon thread and my blog cost them over a billion dollars.
I think it’s firmly on Microsoft’s shoulders, the rollout of Recall and Copilot+ PC was just a series of own goals. They had huge expectations for it in terms of consumer demand and just.. didn’t think it through on many levels.

Read this, and now remember that these are the people all over the news talking about the fictional "existential risks" of AI.
These are the people all over the UN, all over governments, including so-called "left" in the US.
These cults are the ones Bernie Sanders calls the world's "leading AI experts."

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo
I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away
A long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back home

did you know: you can just ban AI and its defenders from your project, and you don't need to be afraid of "not being able to enforce it" because it doesn't really matter
very few projects are high-profile enough for anyone to go to far enough lengths to hide their AI usage such that it becomes a problem for you, and statistically you're almost certainly not one of those projects
and if people just widely start banning it, damn the consequences or enforceability, then the whole thing of "sneaking past AI slop" becomes broadly socially unacceptable long before it has any chance of turning into a practical problem for you
the enforceability doesn't matter

“We try to make as many of these games in Canada as possible. In order to meet demand, some are made internationally. Our supply of Canadian ones has now run out. As we restock, orders will be filled at random by our Canadian partner ShipTop and we won’t be able to choose who gets a game from a specific source. We are trying to increase our Canadian capacity quickly
With our current waitlist, your order is expected to ship in 4-6 weeks”

I get it. For years you hung out at “Old Joe’s” and it was great. But then the Nazi’s moved in and at some point it got renamed “The Horst Wessel Arms”. You long for the old days, but the /reality/ is that things have changed. To deny that is delusional. You’re reminded of the new reality every night as you stop by for a beer.
So, no, I won’t join you for a drink at Old Joe’s, because Old Joe’s /no longer effing exists/. If you say that to me you’re either trying to fool me or fool yourself.

It's the final weekend for the St. Jude fundraiser that @robb and I have been running this month! We've raised nearly $7,700 so far, and the omg.lol 50% donations have topped $1,200 so far.
I've opened up 10 more friendship bracelet slots on https://stjude.omg.lol, and there's a new style available: monochrome! At the end of our fundraiser I'll reach out to all bracelet-level donors to find out which style you'd like (colorful or monochrome).
