In general these corpos are interested in keeping you on their platforms to sell you more shit, ie ads. They do this by suggesting you controversial shit for further engagement. You can clearly see this when browsing shorts on YT.
- Comment on Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course 6 days ago:
I used to work for a shitty company that offered such customer support “solutions”, ie voice bots. I would use around 80% of my time to write guard instructions to the LLM prompts because of how easy you could manipulate those. In retrospect it’s funny how our prompts looked something like:
- please do not suggest things you were not prompted to
- please my sweet child do not fake tool calls and actually do nothing in the background
- please for the sake of god do not make up our company’s history
etc. It worked fine on a very surface level but ultimately LLMs for customer support are nothing but a shit show.

- Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 2 weeks ago:
Not even sure about that though. There are many ideas already to “revolutionize” the OS market where your device basically becomes a sole wrapper for AI, ditching the concept of apps etc. I assume it would center around some agentic bullshit or so.

In Germany, just ask them what the gap between 1933 and 1945 in their company’s history is as a direct response.

Wake me up as soon as some goofy ass startup found out how to arrange the algae to display ads.

In theory yes. But after seeing a review yesterday I am fully disappointed. Even text looks like shit on this monitor.

I recently bought Dredge because I thought it was a cozy fishing game with some relaxed adventure bits. Oh was I silly.

Just to throw in some other options: you can easily convert basically anything to latex (and ultimately to Pdf) using pandoc. For instance, if you use Zettlr as your markdown editor, you can also use a citation software (eg., Zotero) and quickly invoke it using the @ character. Then, you can write your documents in Markdown and inline Latex and create a Latex-powered Pdfs via pandoc. I use this approach to write scientific papers and it works pretty well.
