Yes. That's what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.

“If Aramark can afford to pay you $18.7 million in compensation and provide nearly $100 million in dividends for your wealthy shareholders,” Sanders wrote to Zillmer, “it can afford to pay all of your workers a living wage and not threaten to take away their jobs and their income with faceless Mashgin touchscreen computers.”

Could just be a misclick. There are some weird and/or pathetic folks around here, but there's also just many with huge thumbs.

My estimate of the average "missed the upvote button and didn't notice" is maybe one in 40.

I agree with you in all but conclusion.

Three President's character does not deserve it's own fucking spin-off, but hey - when you have legendary voice actor Keith David, you gotta roll with it.

My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.

But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.

Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

We need to get scientific about this.

This feels like the part where Doctor Who retreats into short Flash animations on obscure BBC websites.

But I'm happy to see more from Jo Martin, in any case.

Yes. I'm not sure what else has gone on, but NAFTA and the US China Relations Act sweaping all of the manufacturing out of the country could account for the whole change between the two maps.

I agree. But I mean, WordPress and SquareSpace already did that for about 98% of web traffic. It was a big part of the .Com Boom and Bust.

But we keep coming up with new stuff to build web software for, and there's still plenty of web developer jobs. And there's still so so many many shit websites.

Today's AI can only remix, not do the new stuff. Maybe it'll get good enough to tackle the novel new stuff, someday. I doubt I'll live to see it, if it happens.

The root of my crankiness is: If we're about to no longer need developers, I should be seeing widespread websites whose search, cart and checkout actually work correctly every time.

The snake oil salesmen are bragging that the era of carpentry has ended, from on top of a wooden stage that is falling to pieces with each step.

I would say, it can only get better, but it can really go both ways from here.
