Outside of hospitality? Is it that bad in the service industries too?

Of all LLMs you could've used, why grok?

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.

Hilarious that Gemini is so bad. Not like Google had a good starting position on internet search

This doesn't really have anything to do with critical thinking, it's just that our brains work on estimations and approximations, although experience can balance it out.

Try this: draw a martini glass (inverted cone), and draw a line where you think it would be half full.

It will be wrong. Numberphile - Cones are messed up (YT)

That dev definitely doesn't seem like the best human around, but this is all around terrible to me. Calling the project "dehumanizing" and "vile" because of this is ridiculous. Are people really willing to have their browsing tracked and sold rather than using a browser that has an assumed gender in the documentation? Not saying that they shouldn't use gender neutral language, but as the original issue said, it's a minor nitpick, let's be honest. It's also something that's representative of one dev as a person, not of the project as a browser. Additionally, it could be something as simple as the dev coming from a gendered language, where the word "user" itself is masculine, and doesn't see it the same way as English speakers asking for neutral language.

Only if you are an AI with no critical thought, or are a professional contrarian

Just use a VPN and avoid always using the same server?

UTC but 12 hour time? That doesn't make any sense

Idk, Parkside is solid, it's impressive value. It's inexpensive, but not cheap
