AI can write boilerplate code and test cases with a failure rate so low that it saves a significant amount of time. It’s also good summarizing text, like a 1 month old back and forth support ticket. Probably other uses too, but those are the ones I use a lot.
Cloud is a huge accelerator for any company that doesn’t want or can’t afford to hire dedicated experts. Plus for workloads with big peaks and valleys it is actually much cheaper.
Screens show navigation, provide entertainment and allow changing complex setting much more easily than other UIs. (turning volume down is not a complex setting)
Teslas have incredible performance per dollar (in a straight line) and are very fun to drive daily. Also their software and charging network are great. And are cheap to maintain (and to buy used).
Ads allow content to be consumed without monetary exchange while still paying the workers creating that content in money instead of exposure.
same for paywalls, journalism is very important for society and good journalists deserve a good paycheck. Paywalls allow to have well paid journalists without billionaires sponsoring (manipulating) and allowing people who don’t like ads to still have access to their work.
Get out of here with your nuance, don’t you realize you’re on the Internet?!
In all seriousness, thanks. I think what a lot of people tend to forget is none of these things are inherently bad. They’re just often misused and/or overused, typically due to the insatiable capitalist profit motive.
Absolutely.

The main issue with these is their proponents have a lack of nuance.
