A lot of time and effort is being spent on critiquing the current output of AI.

AI now is the worst it will ever be again. It will get exponentially better very fast.

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Never criticize a new tech by buying into the hype of the people selling it to you.

This shall happen no more!

We contacted Nintendo to address the recurring problem with defective Switch controllers and they agreed to offer all consumers the right to repair, free of charge, even beyond the legal guarantee!
