The Internet being mostly broken at this point is driving me a little insane, and I can’t believe that people who have the power to keep a functioning search engine for themselves wouldn’t go ahead and do it.
I wonder about this every time I see people(?) crowing about how amazing AI is. Like, is there some secret useful AI out there that plebs like me don’t get to use? Because otherwise, huh?
I worked for a FAANG company for a lotta years. We always had the fully spec’d laptop/desktop/phone. Its not reserved for just the C-suite. The tech is cheap compared to almost every other aspect of employing expensive labor. Hell, the food we got every day probably cost the company well more than the tech.
