Got a kick out of this earlier, thought others here probably would too.
(with apologies to the estate of Dr. Seuss)
why the fuck are you apologizing to the descendants of the guy you were inspired by?!
This is what permission culture does to a motherfucker.
first time i’ve ever heard of “permission culture,” what’s that? i’d guess by the name that it’s a bunch of people who ask permission to do anything, but calling it a culture sounds wild lol
why the fuck are you apologizing to the descendants
I’m guessing it’s a comment on their previous lawsuits
Even less of a reason to give them that sort of respect.
I walked past a woman in Costco the other day who said to her phone, exasperated - “I don’t want the AI, i want my grocery list!”
Amazing, truly amazing times we live in.
It undercuts your message a bit to use a story of a stubborn man eventually realizing he was wrong to reject something over and over as a framing device for your anti AI position.
If true to the story they’re alluding to, they will end up loving AI and looking like a fool.
Google doesn’t care for what you want.
For them you’re just a money pot.They know good how to squeeze resources out.
So smile wider or get the fuck out!I agree and so wonder how they can justify dropping so much money on something people don’t want, expect for free, and burns through resources like crazy
Easy. Google doesn’t sell search. They sell ads and consumer data. The longer you spend searching, the more they make from both. The ideal scenario for them is to give search results that feel helpful enough that you keep coming back, but are actually so useless that you never find a link that takes you away from the search results for good.
There’s even emails that are now public record due to a court case with the Department of Justice that confirm this!
Wonderful, but very long (and detailed) writeup here.
That is actually a rather simple question: Google is sure that customers have nowhere to go (and 99% will definitely stay even if Google start installing anal probes) so people will cope with whatever Google may force upon people.
But I’m sure anal probing the entire world population would cost them less than running AI on
those probesphones.You wanted to say “cost customers” instead of “cost them”, correct? :)
