I would say that in retrospect Microsoft's Clippy wasn't so bad. He gave some pretty great tips on how to write a memo. He didn't destroy the environment by consuming more energy than most countries. He didn't help bomb any countries.

All in all, C- to B+ range, realistically.

I know it is semantics but "tried to drive off bridge" implies intent. "Failed to corner (in the worst place" is all we really know. Also fuck Elon.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

It does make it easier to push out changes and updates but this isn't insurmountable with paper and strategic notice boards

Good piece although I'm not really seeing much that says it isn't AI - more just the various reasons that it is.
