okay I have successfully avoided responding to any of these directly but after having seen like the TENTH post today saying something like "we don't need to convince you to like AI, the revolution is coming whether you like it or not" I just have to reply, generally, to this whole sentiment: OKAY THEN. IF WE ARE GETTING LEFT BEHIND THEN LEAVE US BEHIND, ALREADY

I think a better response is "we don't need to convince you stop liking oligarch boots, the revolution is coming whether you like it or not"

I want to be fucking left behind. My fucking android phone is forcing me to download an AI app. I used to be able to schedule my calendar appointments via my voice but not anymore. I guess it was always AI, but don't force me to download an additional app and agree to your terms and conditions. Fuck android

I've been seeing ads like "don't believe the propaganda about data centers. They add important jobs, bring tax revenue, they don't pollute as much as people say and they're actually pretty quiet" and I'm like, oh cool, so you can just straight up fucking lie in political ads now. Real cool world we have here.

you could always straight up fucking lie but once upon a time you were obligated to present the opposing view (truth). until Reagan anyway.

When consumers see or hear an advertisement, whether it’s on the Internet, radio or television, or anywhere else, federal law says that ad must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence. The FTC enforces these truth-in-advertising laws, and it applies the same standards no matter where an ad appears – in newspapers and magazines, online, in the mail, or on billboards or buses.

https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/topics/truth-advertising

I'm pretty sure the fairness doctrine was for giving equal time on tv or radio. We're more talking about lies told in paid advertisements.
