Also you’ll forget how to count words

Sure, but some people have more pride and integrity than others. My point is the US has less.

The US isn’t just leaving its allies behind, it’s actively threatening to attack them (see: Greenland / Denmark) even as it has signed a formal mutual-defense agreement. I’d say in practice the US is worse than Russia.

The issue is people assume their way is the only right way and when someone does it differently they interpret it as lazy or malicious, rather than responding with humility and trying to find out how their partner thinks.

I wasn’t implying that, but a new instance of the same model also uses up resources to manufacture.

That would be fine if parts like the battery, charger port and microphone were replaceable. But they’re not, and so I need a new phone when there’s no capacity left in my existing one.

Ah, well I don’t have that issue.

I don’t know what you’re referring to.

Dilbert from August 1991:

Digital självständighet låter för dyrt för Sollefteå. Försök samverka och få skalfördelar istället, utan att för den skull bli beroende av leverantörer utanför Sverige. Sundsvall driver mycket opensource-lösningar som de vill utveckla tillsammans med andra kommuner.

The article says “sometimes provide less-accurate and less-truthful responses to users who have lower English proficiency”. This is what I was commenting on. I don’t have enough understanding to comment on your case.

I mean… isn’t it just logical that if you express yourself ambiguously, you are more likely to get a poor response? Humans and chatbots alike need clarity to respond appropriately. I don’t think we can ever expect things to work differently.

That’s a somewhat odd statement coming from a stranger on the internet but I’m having one of those days where I’ll take anything that’s on offer. So thanks, I think I needed to hear that.

Graeber states that more than half of societal work is pointless, both large parts of some jobs and five types of entirely pointless jobs:

• Flunkies, who serve to make their superiors feel important, e.g., receptionists, administrative assistants, door attendants, store greeters;
• Goons, who act to harm or deceive others on behalf of their employer, or to prevent other goons from doing so, e.g., lobbyists, corporate lawyers, telemarketers, public relations specialists;
• Duct tapers, who temporarily fix problems that could be fixed permanently, e.g., programmers repairing shoddy code, airline desk staff who calm passengers with lost luggage;
• Box tickers, who create the appearance that something useful is being done when it is not, e.g., survey administrators, in-house magazine journalists, corporate compliance officers, academic administration;[14]
• Taskmasters, who create extra work for those who do not need it, e.g., middle management, leadership professionals.[1][4]
