Just ask ChatGPT when's the best time to short your AI stocks. Sheesh. I can't believe how dumb you non-AIs are!

This person has enough foresight to predict disaster now, but not 12 months ago when he was in the voting booth?

What's an example of something that usually goes unnoticed when done well but very noticeable when done poorly or not done at all? in c/ask@piefed.social

Disease prevention.

Everyone hates on disease prevention when it works (“Why should we wear masks?!?”) but wants to know what went wrong when it doesn’t work (“10,000 people died from a disease that was preventable. Why didn’t you tell us to wear masks?!?”).

After your internet is shut, you'll be forced to buy Google Prison Internet, where you're surveiled 24/7 and you're only allowed to download ads.

The key is to tell your audience something they wish would be true.

"Honey, you know what would really tie this room together? A giant electronic advertising billboard!"

For decades hackers gave themselves cool names like ROBot and Aynedroid. Now AIs are trying to seem human by giving themselves names like, "No, seriously. My name is Rob" in c/showerthoughts@sh.itjust.works

Yes, but my lame "It's a glitch in the Matrix" jokes might make one person laugh.

Goddammit! Is there anything that US corporations won’t fuck up?

If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Tech CEOs have this wet dream where they just speak into a microphone, "Create my product" and employees will no longer be needed. So... if it becomes that easy, why will Wall Street need tech CEOs?

Why is it so hard to buy the same toothbrush twice? (sh.itjust.works)
 

The title is a bit of an exaggeration.

Why do corporations change shampoo and toothbrushes so often? I'll go through 10 different shampoos and toothbrushes, then find ones I like. I'll probably be able to purchase them again a few times before the ones I like are no longer available.

What are the forces driving manufacturer's to change their basic wares so often? Besides Wall St. greed, that is?
