A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I've genuinely been wondering what the hell the average googler has been up to in the last 5 years. They're killing services, barely developing new features or hardware, and have been talking for so long (as in, they were genuinely at the forefront) about AI and how they're in a unique position to make the most out of data, AI, services, and hardware, then failed spectacularly to keep that advantage, and even more spectacularly to keep up.

I guess they just found some other, more profitable way to exploit that unique position, than to care about the people using their products.
