high end medical equipment like it was another AI powered furby knock-off

Bbbbbut making high-end medical equipment profit margins on cheap Furby knockoffs is the new Silicon Valley ideal!

A step up from last week's uncritical fluffing of Aella, and the hard target on Pinker is nice, but still kinda highlights how the publication grows out of semi-parasocial social media crushes and grievances. I'll take it, but they've still got a ways to go to convince me that they're not gonna turn out to be Neo-The Atlantic 2029

This situation is the first time I've become aware that there was a longtime Dimes Square hangout called Kiki's. I'm gonna go ahead and consider that a mental health check that I happily passed

Oh, OK, cool. Let me know how the chatbot handles temperature management, stock rotation, allergen cross-contamination for seafood, all that good stuff.

I keep on saying that there will be at least one more AI bubble before 2045, because apparently that's the latest date Kurzweil gives for his Singularity™ (can't be arsed to go reread his book and double-check, my copy was a PDF that came via the high seas 5 computers ago anyway)

Zefram Cochrane is supposed to invent warp drive in 2063, these guys need to be moving their timelines forward, not backward!

Dude why do we even need or want AGI?

We need salvation but it won't come via rapture this decade

Certainly not the approach I would have taken! (Getting the bot to give up on delivering code, and instead return epic-length erotic fan fiction featuring Elan Sleazebaggano, the breakout supporting character from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones) But probably all the more effective for it.

Can't believe that these guys are forgetting Data on Star Trek needed an emotion-chip upgrade to feel emotions, and he didn't even get it full-time until the series was over and they were doing movies. Dario and friends are just giving away what could be an entire upgrade/upcharge cycle! "Be more intimate than ever with your workflows! Upgrade to feeling agents on FeelsCloud today! (ignore that it's just some bullshit we vibecoded in Verilog and then flashed to discount FPGAs we shoved in the bottom of the server racks)"

That's OK, the next set of bankruptcy lawyers will again conduct clawbacks
