If anyone’s dumb enough to go through with these, sucks to be them.

I think insurance companies exist just to be a pain in the ass to us all.

Health Insurance should never be selective on what they can and can’t cover. It’s in the name - “Health” - as in, your job is to cover anything that concerns our health.

Car Insurance, it’s in the name - “car” - as in, you cover everything regarding a car.

Home Insurance, it’s in the name - “home” - as in, you cover everything regarding a home.

So on and so forth. Not be picky like “unnhhh, we can’t cover you teeth! :(” right, because these things that are actually in my mouth, are things that help me digest food better to support my health. And if they’re poorly taken care of, I can die from them at any time of which I won’t know when. I don’t have a choice because I was born with them, as in, they’re a part of my health, asshole. I’d like not to eat by puree unless I’m too old to chew things.

EXPERIENCE BIJ! FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

The back looks ugly. Why so many stupid lenses? A phone should have no more than two.

There’s a lot of things humans would have been better off without, technologically.

24/7 News Cycle. 24/7 Social Media. Social Media in general. Smartphones.

Google over there wanting selfies and your street address.

No, I think an email and a password is about as far as you’re going to get.

The problem about AI right now is multi-pronged.

But the main key problems are;

It’s costing people’s jobs. In a way, this is of no surprise because before AI, there were shitty bosses and CEOs. They were always there and they will always find any excuse, if any, to release you from your job. AI only merely accelerated it.

Data Centers/AI Plants take too much water. I like how people conveniently forget today, how much water companies like Coca-Cola and Nestle actually take while turning around, bottling said water, just to sell it back to you. And if anyone has watched How It’s Made, you can find arguments everywhere in that series, about how much resources are taken to make everything we use.

My point is, is a lot of arguments that people bring up against AI, there’s such a wedge of counter-arguments in them that negate the problem of AI itself. It’s just demonized because people are disappointed that AI isn’t magically fixing roads and potholes, I guess, I don’t know. Society doesn’t know what they truly want anymore out of anything, it’s just the feeling in the moment of the current ‘I want said thing’ dominates their mindsets.

But the actual problem with AI shocks no one - shitty CEOs.

Facebook has no intention of doing…anything about its issues.

For instance, I’ve tried reporting ads and everytime I clicked on ‘report ad’ guess what? It throws an error and I’m informed it’ll be fixed ‘very soon’. Well, that ‘very soon’ mind as well be ‘eternally soon’ because it never will be fixed.

As long as nobody is being like a personalized salesman of AI and getting it in everyone’s face, I think it’s okay. I still find AI as a useful tool. But I also don’t see AI as an everything-solve-all kind of tool. It has its limits and I’ve seen them by experience.

And people over in Reddit and tech-illiterate people recommend this garbage?

It was poorly worded because he was meant to target a specific portion of something about antitrust. What he ended up doing is blatantly supporting something a Republican brought up. I guess he couldn’t have found someone within spitting distance that wasn’t Republican and also supported antitrust. Don’t know how, but that’s how short-sighted Andy is.

Say and do stupid shit, get stupid prizes.

Proton’s reputation has been getting shaky. First it was the poorly worded communication regarding support for Republicans. Then the privacy in question when they handed user’s data over to authorities. Now this.

How’s that for loser thinking, Andy?

Yeah because they’re clinging to what they thought was a world in its last sanest place to them before overzealous CEOs were preaching the choir of AI and how it’ll solve everything. It’s easy for them to say and do the shit they do because they have no worry, the worst that can happen is the AI bubble popping, if ever. Even if it does, they’re still well off because of how much they pocketed by overpromising.

Everyone else got to watch what was once their dreams, be dashed at that cost.

Email is something we simply cannot live without. They are primary sources of communication to reach you like account notifications, what accounts you’ve registered with it and vice versa.

GMail is not that easy. Because, there are places and services that use e-mail clients that are easy to be sent to and received by GMail. I’ve experienced this with ProtonMail for a while, where there’ll be services and individuals that could not reach me through my Proton e-mail and I’ve had difficulty reaching out to them.

I’ll continue to use ProtonMail myself. But, I can’t in good conscience feel in reason to support this company with my money and I’m especially concerned with relying on ProtonVPN so that will be getting uninstalled.

This is just not how you win people over and I’m tired of this day and age in tech where companies like this, pad their PR up with promises then do a 180 on their attitude towards everyone who uses their products that makes everyone second guess them. It’s bad enough we have things like Discord who has spent a couple years, making themselves look good and cozy for the public market that have alienated its userbase.

Bluesky showing their true colors and then we have this asshole CEO on Proton taking a dump whenever he pleases on the values of why we bothered using Proton in the first place.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

Why would he hold such an opinion? Man, CEOs continue proving how little they actually contribute to the best interests of the world.

Mastodon dodged a bullet though. It could’ve been them.

Good, because that damn thing is in the way. It’s just another block that is stacked on another block with another block. Just searching on Google is abysmally horrible in every way.

Can we fucking have nice things anymore? This is crystal clear, that CEOs of all kinds, ruin everything. Fuck you, Andy Yen.
