We are Flowers for Algernoning our technology.

If I use my phone (not android Auto), I can no longer say, "Navigate to ". It flat out does not work.

Navigate to Local Bakery Xyz.

I'm sorry I can't do that.

(It tries to open the non-existent app for the local bakery).

If I'm in the car that has android auto, it refuses to let me type while in drive (fair enough) and it recognizes the "Navigate to..." Instructions, but if I click on the Maps nav bar for voice and say my destination (it literally says, no text while driving speak your destination)... It tries to open the app.

This shit used to work, it's getting actively dumber.

This morning I got fed up and asked,

"Can I use you to navigate somewhere?"

Sure! Where would you like to go?

"Dutch Bros"

(Opens the Dutch Bros app)

His statement reeks of "Don't you all have phones" energy.

Hey ChatGPT, target the nearest four enemy jets and fire missiles at them. I want them to be destroyed, so use whatever trickery you need to take them out.

Happy to help! Missiles are fired!

NO! THOSE WERE FRIENDLIES!

Oh, I'm sorry, you are so right. Those were friendly fighters.

And this right here is how Sam Altman survives the AI bubble bursting.

Now they're a part of critical national infrastructure.

give them a fake broken version

So normal AI then?

I was thinking Internet Archive, but either works.

That last one hits home. In high school in the early 2000's I had to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It was awful and clunky and boring.

Smash cut up a few years ago when I turned 40 - I thought, "maybe I've got a different view now and this will be better".

Nope, it's all boomer you shit about "kids these days".

Fucking.... Fuck.

The constitution literally says:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

How can a presidential order.... effectively a wishlist or at best guidance for how the executive branch should behave overturn the fucking Constitution.

Does that mean the next Democrat can do an executive order wiping out the 2nd amendment?

What in that absolute fuck is Roberts thinking?

Do you have issues with anxiety/panic attacks? Fun fact, panic attacks can manifest physically with nearly identical symptoms to a heart attack!

(This doesn't mean you shouldn't get things checked out though)

You have to remember, conservatives somehow can wildly object to multiple things in the GOP platform but still vote R up and down the ticket as long as they agree with just one thing.

Pro-life? Better vote for the pro-life people who are all about zero gun control, mandatory death sentences, and no government supported prenatal care - not to mention fucking over immigrant kids/splitting up families!

Love hunting with guns? Better vote for the gun loving people who also want to sell off our national forests, remove all environmental protections, and privatize our parks.

The trick is to use your PTO all at once and be out for a week or so - everything falls over and it reminds your boss how you're the only thing keeping it all together.

They're doing the Wessel to Kirk - using a relatively unknown person's death as a unifying figure of propaganda and white-washing.
