I had no idea what Lloyd's is, I was 100% sure we were talking about the mid tea brand and couldn't for the life of me figure out why they'd have a chatbot

The comment and response are much better in full

Well I’ll be. There are anti-blockchain people in the comments. I post an image showing web3 and NFT ads running right here on the site…and it gets deleted. Oh well. That’s all folks. Until next time.

I already replied to you, and I told you how advertising works and how our readers help us by reporting these ads so we can block them when they sneak through Google by misleadingly flagging themselves to mask what they are. And then I got my tech to block the ad once I found it. And then I deleted your post for being off-topic since our ads have nothing to do with this news article. But perhaps I should have left it: The fact that blockchain hucksters deliberately lie and mislabel their ads to sneak through Google’s filters because legitimate gamers and respectable websites don’t want anything to do with them should tell everyone all they need to know about this tech.

Also it's incredibly amusing the guy's profile picture is the only one that doesn't load on the entire site, I don't even know why that is but thank god I don't have to look at that artistic abortion.

The platform was designed first and foremost to be a virtual town hall of engagement opportunities in which all technologies are seamlessly integrated and abstracted

what

That's like reading the marketing page for some cloud tool that your manager will surely pester you about on the next daily. "Hey, I think we should use Sporgle. They seamlessly integrate and abstract all technologies in a virtual town hall of engagement opportunities." ^1^

Just have fun with your friends and we’ll take care of the rest.

That's what I've been doing and I didn't need you to help with that so I'll just carry on I think.


^1^ Only that was back in 2020. Now they've rebranded to Sporgle.ai. The marketing page is exactly the same only there's "with the power of AI" added at the end.

Do you sometimes read what you wrote and apply some sort of self-reflection?

changing upper/lower capitalization

That's literally a built-in VSCode command my dude, it does it in milliseconds and doesn't require switching a window or even a conscious thought from you

It's maddening that they did actually take away the headphone jack from all modern phones and there's nothing we can do about it even though it objectively sucks

Ok but that's an economic argument for the business not an advertisement, like why would I care about this as the consumer of your fries

Conservative nostalgia, concretely for fries themselves and abstractly for a fake, idealised version of the past.

This is so weird to me like you can literally just go out and have fries today and they're great? They're so much better now because there's so many different places that literally just sell fries with various sauces so they have to be in an arms-race for the most delicious kind of sauce and the best fries. Plus everyone now offers sweet potato fries if you're bored of the normal ones. There's never been a better time for fries. When I was a kid fries fucking sucked man, and they had only ketchup.

I still don't understand what that was about, like do fries made in tallow taste better? Or at least noticeably different?

In terms of sailing the high seas, an AI data center is worse than a boat too.

"Philosophy & Music" are indeed two categories of things that share one letter between them.

Feel very happy to recognise only Corbyn and Penrose by name, no idea what any of them are doing there.

I mean, I know who Penrose was, but from the context I assume he's probably acutely suffering from Nobel Disease and I have zero idea what he's been up to outside of physics.

And isn't Corbyn just a boring lefty UK politician? Does he have like a philosophy background or something?
