pro tip! just let the other person repeat themselves even though you already have your answer loaded. this gives you some advantages:

• avoid answering what you think they asked the first time and answer what they’re actually asking

oh well fuck me, this is mindblowing news. microsoft has always been so precious about the exchange protocol i just assumed that’s the way it would always be

norwegian waffles are severely underrated

see, but they’re not competent. further, they don’t care. most of these ai companies are snake oil. they’re selling you a solution that doesn’t meaningfully solve a problem. their main way of surviving is saying “this is what it can do now, just imagine what it can do if you invest money in my company.”

they’re scammers, the lot of them, running ponzi schemes with our money. if the planet dies for it, that’s no concern of theirs. ponzi schemes require the schemer to have no long term plan, just a line of credit that they can keep drawing from until they skip town before the tax collector comes
