Where did "AI is here to stay" come from? People say it all the time, and I don't remember anyone saying that about any other new tech or industry, good or bad or neutral. "Electric cars are here to stay," "the gig economy is here to stay," "NFTs are here to stay."

I think it's possible that the AI bubble is being handled somewhat responsibly by the giant companies: they are all making big data center deals because nobody can look like the only one who isn't, but nobody's spending real money, it's mostly overvalued stock.

As revenue projections come back to reality, everyone can cancel the projects, or revise them back into the normal kind of expansion they would be investing in anyway. Everyone reins it in together, so nobody looks like they lost.

• Mandating nonsense words of a specific length for variable names, so you can/must discuss and reason about program logic as pure abstraction, without being distracted by (necessarily inexact) analogies to real world objects or concepts.

My favorite part of the Access Hollywood tape is when they see the reporter or crew person or whatever coming to talk to Trump, and one guy says she's "hot as shit" and another is like "he's still got it!" As if Trump has anything to do with the hotness of a person who has to talk to him for work

"Earth" is such a dumb name for our planet. "Hi, I'm from Dirt." Aliens probably separate species into those who call their home planet whatever their language's word for "earth" is, and those who take ten minutes to come up with something better

Which will basically be right where we were when chat gpt took off in 2019. Nobody will ever acknowledge that the bubble burst, or that we lost 6-7 years of innovation on a very expensive dead end.

I like the White Lotus but it's very annoying when the characters just tell you what their psychological deal or role in the story is. "I'm a people pleaser," "we're pain and love," "I thought you were ambitious." These are stage directions! Give the audience some credit!

Trump is controlled opposition, they're just doing the austerity and immigration shit the Democrats and Republicans have both always wanted but been afraid to, tariffs keep not happening, and nothing on chemtrails, 5G, Roswell, JFK or 9/11
