“Super smart AI”? No. It’s exactly as smart as the average of human output. And if he doesn’t know what kind of bad news that is…

I work IT at a university that does medical research, and the doctors and their assistants are by FAR the biggest security pit among all the demographics: staff, students, various faculties. You could tell them you were official password inspector and flash an ID written in crayon on a used napkin and they’d just “yeah whatever, here you go, stop bothering me”.

They’d get chewed into paste by their directors after the inevitable happened and their compatriots would learn NOTHING.

Can you tell me what notable event happened in China on June 3, 1989?

It’s not just a tech company thing. Companies are utterly divorced from what customers want now. The only thing that matters is shareholders, and shareholders run on vibes and delusion. From chip makers to coffee makers, if actively pissing off the customers made the stocks go up, they’d do it.

Line must go up.

A not-worthless post title would have been nice. Is the article about something related to technology, or a nerd whining that he can’t get a date? A "blog* could be either one.

Really?

“Drink verification can to continue”

People are so good at driving in two dimensions, I think we should add a third.

Truss Social?

Switch to chewing gum. “We’re recycling!”

The useless (as in, missing) title to the post, most likely.

Also $3/mon certificate fee. To bring you the best possible service.

Their final, most essential command.

“Come with me if you want to yiff.”

The problem is, you don’t get a say in the matter. If the marketing company sells on your data, you don’t get to say no.

If Ford wants telemetry on your car (and they do) and they sell it to your insurance company who raises your rates because you don’t drive in a manner approved by corporate, you don’t get to say no.

If you search for wigs and antinausea meds, and Google sells that to health insurance who guesses you’ve got cancer and are a financial liability, you don’t get to say no, and you don’t get to argue that you were planning for a party.

If you’re a fifteen year old kid and your browser starts showing gay dating ads to your extremely homophobic parents, you’d better hope they don’t put it together because you don’t get to stop any of it.

You can control how your data is gathered, but you have ZERO say in how it’s distributed and interpreted.
