Ha! Bad consultancy is bad consultancy, regardless of whether it’s delivered by a person or AI. I’ve worked with some great consultants, but it’s very much the minority. So this feels like a natural commoditisation of the shitty consultancy model.
Perhaps the more worrying aspect, is at least there’s a finite number of shitty human consultants at any one time. AI would remove that constraint.
Yep. I agree with this. Re-creating Reddit at the same scale just brings all the same problems. I like that federation means smaller more localised communities that can be connected (or not). I get that it’s not what everyone wants or is used to, and that’s okay.
Rejection of fascism and racism is good not just for New Yorkers, but more widely Americans. The optimist in me also likes to think that this is a signal to politicians and political parties everywhere that you can challenge far right populism and win, rather than absorbing elements of it to attract voters.

I knew it was going to emotionally manipulate me, and it still got me.
I’ve had good experiences buying 2nd hand laptops off ebay and putting linux on them. As long as the battery is in good condition, you can breath new life into old hardware for not a lot of money.
