"AI is asbestos" is a really really poor analogy, because asbestos was/is incredibly useful. It's just also incredibly dangerous to human bodies, and the benefits don't outweigh the risks.
"AI" on the other hand is exceedingly useless. The only point is to do harm and profit from selling shovels to do harm.

We ran into Mila the Ridgeback again! But it wasn't a safe spot to let them play, so we had to drag them to the nearest open grass – and both Odin and Mila fought us every inch of the way because they thought we were preventing playtime, not enabling it #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon

In 1980, Intel announced the 8087 Math Coprocessor, a chip that made floating-point 100 times faster. I opened up the chip, took photos of the silicon structures, and analyzed its circuitry. It's a very complex chip for its time. Let's take a look inside...

Colorado became the first state to mandate polling places inside all county jails—and turnout among voters who were detained in jails skyrocketed.

There is something called the "Crunchyroll Store". I don't know what they sell, I assume anime. On Oct 22 they sent me an email titled "Oops! Thought you'd ghosted us!" and, starting at this point, started emailing me heavily, a couple times a week, leading up to Nov 19 since when they've been emailing me every day, sometimes multiple times a day, with spam.
On Dec 3, I unsubscribed. The daily emails continued coming. I filed a support request and was told unsubscribe can take "up to week"
캐논 카메라를 쓰면서 가장 만족하는 점은 안정성. 하드웨어도, 소프트웨어도, 이미지 품질도 확 돋보이지 않아도 일단 결과를 내 줌. 펌웨어 수정도 잘 해주고. 파나소닉도 그런 면에서 좋았음. 캐논도 사고친 적은 있지만, 최소한 정책적으로 신뢰성에 중점을 둔다는 점이 편함. 재미 없다는 건 장점이기도 하다.

Folks still using Audible, here’s my semi-regular plug that Libro.fm continues to be awesome for me after many years! I had a question late last night and this morning they answered and solved it with their fast and friendly customer support.
Also - they let you download your audio files! You can take them and put them in any other audio device or app you might want to use.
