Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

AI on phones peaked with MS Contana on W10 mobile circa 2014. "Remind me to jack off when I'm home". And it fucking did what i wanted. I didn't even have to say words, i could type it into a text box... it also worked offline.
Bad news for people who use google: they've removed the same feature, so their assistant is more useless than Cortana a decade ago (only a mild exaggeration)
Seriously missed an opportunity to being that back as their agent.
Legitimately though, Cortana was pretty great. There was a feature to help plan commutes (before I went more or less full remote), all it really did was watch traffic and adjust a suggest time to depart but it was pretty nice.
Say it every time someone mentions WP7/8/10, those lumia devices were fantastic and I totally miss mine, the 1020 had a fantastic camera on it, especially for the early 2010s
I loved my Lumia. I have the windows phone launcher on my phone currently haha
As technology advanced, humans grew accustomed to relying on the machines.
have you seen the new samsung tech? It literally sucks dick

it’s really weird that this turned into a tantrum where you tried to report other users for their jokes???
the fuck? please go be weird somewhere else
Comment removed for being weird (derogatory). I refrained just barely from hitting the "ban from community" button on the slim chance it was a badly misfired joke from a person who can otherwise behave themself, but I won't object if any other mod goes ahead with the banhammer.
I was vacillating on reply harshness, but "hey tell me when you're home" ... some people just need to get better with informed consent.
(agree that this probably wasn't banworthy (yet), but close)
I wish i knew that this guy said. Literally woke up to a bunch of replies saying "removed"
it was some shitty follow-up to your joke so unfunny it made your post less funny just by being under it. pull this thread from mastodon and chances are you’ll see it if you really want to
anyway if you want a laugh, they threw a tantrum and reported your post because we deleted theirs:
their joke was in that exact tone too because they’re a comedy black hole
Thank you for this. I think I understand completely <3
