I actually wondered that at the time simply because whenever a new person discovers the horrors of HP printers people in the comments are always boosting Brother printers.

Like, if Canon had been accused of bricking third-party printer ink I’m not sure it would have made the feed.

But but but . … they’ve spent Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on this!!! You HAVE to buy it!!! Noooooooooo

Everyone who cheer-led the AI garbage trucks moved up in the world. Across the board. All over ther world.

Turns out they were very, very wrong and quite stupid.

Now Apple (and everyone else) has to roll all that back and try to save face.

Exactly. I thought the article was going to be about how they’ve been shoe-horning “Apple Intelligence” into recent updates, which everyone turns off immediately. Instead it’s:

The company has officially delayed features first promised last June intended to modernize Siri and give Apple a much-needed boost in the AI race.

HA! First of all the “AI race” is an ass-grabbing competition between insane corporate overlords who can’t wait to burn another hundred billion on something that doesnt’ work.

Secondly, last June was still in the bubble of AI hype when everyone and their dog was forced to comment on it ortherwise the idiot herds would affect stock price.

Thirdly, this isn’t about Apple not getting something to work, this is about Apple understanding what an abysmal shitshow the generative AI functionality is, and trying to land the plane before anything else catches fire.

Ridiculous.

Nnnnnno?

Well played.

Yeah, sure they exist. Much like the ENIAC. And it’s cool stuff to work with. It’s just not anywhere close to practical. And it never has been.

Sure, sure and it’s interesting stuff. But not anywhere near useful in the sense people mean when they talk about computers.

I wish it was just the SCOTUS that was corrupt and bogus. This all three branches thing is bumming me out.

Check it, yo. In the 90s all the articles and rumors around quantum computing were exactly the same. Exactly.

Whenever I hear about some new quantum computing breakthrough, I spend about five seconds wondering if it’s real and then I feel very nostalgic because no, it never is.

If only there was some kind of - instantly accessible worldwide publishing entity that could, say, display the book immediately on demand.

Back then they weren’t as likely to openly get away with it.

Bought and paid for.

Back to work you poors. Keep consuming!

First off, Signal hasn’t said anything, this is an accusation made at a conference in Kyiv. So - who knows, they’re behind, they don’t have billions to support an army, who knows.

IF they have chosen to not help Ukraine where at all possible, that would be bad.

All of that said, if I was running a modern army using an encrypted chat app, I’d fucking have all that shit in-house, wtf. It’s 2025. Ukraine already has a bunch of l337 h4X0rs. I’m sure they could slap something together in days and have it in the field in weeks.

Anyone who has been paying attention has been waiting for this enormous bag of shit to explode already.

“we looked at the prices between the two lowest-priced cars on ten different websites. Here’s a whole article about doing that.”

He’s a trump voter.

All you need to know.

Well it sure beats parenting!

Using Windows, eh. Yeah that sucks.

Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole
