Literally from the article

--- start quote ---

Anyone who sees the future differently to you can be brushed aside as “ignoring reality”, and the only conversations worth engaging are those that already accept your premise.

--- end quote ---

Mass adoption is not inevitable. Everyone will drop this "faster harder" tech like a hot potato when (not if) it fails to result in meaningful profits.

Oh, there will be forced mass adoption alright. Have you tried Gemini? Have you? Gemini? Have you tried it? HAVE YOU? HAVE YOU TRIED GEMINI?!!!

Or Copilot.

It's actions like this that are making me think seriously about converting my gaming PC to Linux - where I don't have to eat the corporate overlord shit.

what i like about your last jokey comment is that discussions about ai, both good and bad, are incredibly boring

went to some tech meetups earlier this year and when the topic came up, one of the organizers politely commented to me that pretty much everything said about ai has been said. the only discussions worth having are introductions to the tools then leaving an individual to decide for themselves whether or not its useful to them. those introductions should be brief and discussions of the applications are boring

back in the bar scene days discussing work, religion, and politics were social faux pas. im sensing ai is on that list now

		> what i like about your last jokey comment We use probably all of Google's products at work, and sadly the comment is not even a joke. Every single product and page still shows a Gemini upsell even after you've already dismissed it fifteen times
