Lie to me once Microsoft shame on you, lie to me twice shame on me.

Could? What use is could, anything could be possible. And what sort of abstract says the technical term for uploading a mind is mind uploading.

Why do you require me to give so much personal information to make a simple purchase, isn’t it a security hazard?

We take security very seriously and guarantee your information is kept safe from any potential threat.

Our servers are currently down due to a security breach, we are looking into it and have learnt lessons and will provide a guaranteed secure environment for our users going forward.

But what about the first guarantee you gave, will you make good any losses I incur from the theft of my data from your servers.

Hello?

Hello??

To be fair I think it is happening to Google as much as it is to everyone else, we are running down a hill and are going too fast to stop.

Who would have predicted it would come for its own first.

Sounds wonderful, ‘Open the rental agreement HAL’.

We can put our spy specs on and update our spy site profile on our spy device and if there is anything left that is just ours we can now tell it to our spy friend.

Thanks, I do want to read that as I do not believe the current developments in AI to be hype, I think it is probably an inflection point in our civilisation. More even than that really, I think in a universal way an argument could be made the point of organic intelligence is to bring about inorganic intelligence. But it is an afternoon read and I have to find an afternoon.

2022 was only a pandemic that at the time many thought might decimate the population and caused a near global house isolation response, this now is far worse.

This is talking about cases. This is an article about a bloke in his basement making Dr Who cases for your Windows 11 rig and making it sound like we are now The Culture.

I didn’t read it and don’t have an account.

Do you think Google is proud of this work, do you think the people working on double serving ads feel pride in their ‘experimentations’. In their personal time and at the end of their lives will they be happy they took things people liked and made them worse, even unusable for their money. That their only contribution was to scrawl their mess over that of others. Do they cling to the idea that it makes delivery free at the point of use as they make far more from their low practices than they would from honest subscriptions. Are they glad that their living makes the world more mundane. Happy to mar the endeavours of humanity, and as we push into space and maybe meet other intelligences ours will be the only ships with ads for toilet rolls on the outside. And throughout all of this shame the kicker is we would buy toilet rolls anyway.

It is pretty close to the first of April.

Describing the ability to make a local account as a loophole is letting a little too much real intention slip out.

One of the first things Google did when it bought YouTube was to remove direct messaging, don’t want people wasting time talking to each other when they should be watching ads.

No one told the US to be careful what you wish for.

You are preaching to the choir.

Correlation does not equal causation.

No this is not good logic because the specific people that buy your product and use third party supplies know it to be untrue.
