I think the mistake a lot of people make with so-called AI is in assuming it's an innovation analogous to like, the internet or automobiles, when really a better point of comparison would be DDT or radium toothpaste

There was a power outage last night, so my computer had to be restarted in the morning. I did so, forgetting that the boot order starts with the DVD drive, which presently contained a copy of T/Raumschiff Surprise, a very, very bad German Star Trek parody from 2004. Before I knew what was happening, it had installed OttOS, reformatted the primary hard drive partition, and copied 500 video files that all showed Darth Vader riding a hoverboard off a cliff while wearing an impractically large cowboy hat. This is the real reason why computers don't have disk drives anymore.

@dwarf going to bed without taking off your eye makeup is a key part of this. It's basically all I do on here.
