This means it’s also sending your text across the Internet and feeding the stupid fucking models with it.

You know, just what you want from a fucking notepad app.

Yes but that would require them to regard all children as being worthy of protection by the law.

They don’t.

And the worst part is even if it succeeds you’re still running Windows.

I honestly don’t understand why I would ever write up or share a Microsoft document.

As for word, it’s just fucking rich text format. It’s obvious they’re manipulating the format to lock down users with less computer knowledge. Otherwise, why is it so fucking complicated?

Markdown accomplishes 90% of what a word doc does and it is legible with or without rendering.

EDIT: If I want data in or out of a spreadsheet program, I’m using CSV.

All of the “special features” of office docs wind up being security nightmares, unusable junk, or both.

This is such a stupid name for this.

This is what happens when software companies adopt the business model of LA Fitness.

Oh well, add it to the pile.

We’re all forty plus years into the great atomization project and we no longer have any ability to tackle even minor systemic issues. There’s no way in our current state we’re removing plastic from even newly manufactured items.

Yeah ten years seems like plenty of notice

Nobody seems to have noticed that the business model here is to funnel as much traffic and spend to the big AI corporations as possible with no foreseeable return (except vague nonsense about “productivity gains”).

Just wait until someone requires one of these things to make a profit, that’s when if you’re a corporation that integrated this shit deeply into your business, you’ll be covered top to bottom in rug burn from the inevitable rug pull of price increases.

Yet somehow this is going to be the super intelligence that solves climate change (while we’re building data centers for it that will cause more emissions).

What’s really sad about it is that most of the shit they believe is complete sci-fi bullshit and they won’t build a super-intelligence nor escape the planet no matter how much of their finite time they pump into these futile efforts.

Sounds… Completely correct honestly.

Cuz it sucks and it’s worth all of the zero dollars it costs. 😆👍

That’s fine but regular art isn’t 2/3 theft either.

I do buy the 1/3 shite though. It may even be a bit higher than that. Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, etc.

It’s a matter of taste for sure but I’d say AI art is >90% shite, 100% theft.

I don’t like the glossy looking hyperreal shit it puts out at all.

I enjoy lots of great art! But do you think I watch every film? Listen to every band? There’s tons of shit out there!

You said regular art is 1/3 shite and 2/3 theft. Maybe math isn’t your strong suit but that’s 3/3 which is 100% so by claiming regular art is the same you’re saying all art is either theft or shite.

It uh, it isn’t.

Dead Internet theorists were right, just a half decade or so early.

What does it dissolve into? 🪿 Wait, what does it dissolve into? 🗣️ 🪿

We need a new globbin craze in America!

(I’m not saying this at all because I am the head of my local globblenoobin or because I’m a globbin enthusiast that thinks the solution to everything is everyone should be globbin like me.)

What happens when you do globbin?

You become confident, wise, and typically very humble. Some would say you become among the most humble people you could ever find. You also become lit AF.

What happens to guys who are confident, wise, and lit AF? They are viewed positively by women.

It’s very hard work but very fun. All you require is fifty thousand kopecks and a note from your local beetlebobbin. The younger you start your globbin journey the better, because it’s easier to become the head of a local globblenoobin if you start early!

You can always do glubinobin instead, but it’ll never be as good as the most highest esteemed globbin!!!

They were never building that, let’s be honest.

Edit: rural broadband is like the new affordable housing, high speed rail, or better public transit… It’s something that’s completely possible to do but they’ll always find some excuse to do nothing so they can campaign on it again next cycle

The technologies to end a lot of problems exist. We aren’t using them because the oligarchs think it’s better this way.
