A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Some of us weren't even impressed in 2022 because we don't want to talk to a computer or create shitty images.
I was not impressed in 2022 either when it was frequently wrong, didn't back up anything it said with facts, sources or evidence, and business people kept hyping it immediately as some sort of revolution.
I spent a lot of time having an existential crisis before I realized I was not alone.
