Honestly still can't believe that they now launched a phone with a stylus and a laptop with a touchscreen.
I miss the Steve Jobs era so much. Hopefully some day they'll find back. Maybe when the AI bubble deflates a lot of pain will eventually drive the whole tech industry to actually innovate and think about amazing products for, you know, human beings again instead of being a money extraction quasi-scam. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Related, "rogue AI" is purely a science fiction concept; the LLMs we have today aren't "AI", and don't have sentience, permanence, feelings, aspirations, memory or understanding of concepts.

I'd like to remind everybody that in the movie introducing rogue AI (2001: A Space Odyssey) the rogue AI is stopped by someone pulling the plug (slowly and in stages, but it's still plug-pulling).
In the plug-pulling scene the plug-puller encounters no resistance, because AI's don't have bodies.
