Women often ask me: "why are you such a great feminist ally?" But I always reply: "don't worry your pretty little head about it, sweet cheeks."

I have been saying the exact same. AI models seems to be built with the goal of impressing non-knowledgeable people. Vibe coders are amazed by the fact that something runs and it made so many lines!

We need a consumer site called ‘Does it Spy on You?’ with makes and models of things confirmed to be narcs

People forget that back in the 90s, kids weren't on the computer all the time, they didn't have cell phones. Instead they watched the Beethoven dog movies
