It’s the same pattern as social media followed over a decade ago. Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey were always claiming their services were going to change the world for the better.

Both of their services (Facebook and Twitter, respectively) have been used for organizing fascism and hate because hate is extremely profitable and they would rather have money than make the world a better place.

They have ultimately, actively changed the world for the worse.

Yep! I thought something similar.

The Paris Accords were a decade ago. Anyone who is paying attention at all shouldn’t be surprised.

Anyone else notice this was even during the last Trump administration in 2020?

Here’s the article.

Yep, this is exactly how most people describe using an AI chat bot to write code.

It’s a junior developer who can’t learn.

That sounds so frustrating to me.

The man in the article also was alcoholic until mere “months before buying the glasses.”

They are burying all the ledes to make a “regular guy goes crazy due to AI” story.

It’s always kind of weird to me when articles describe insanely wealthy people in such a way that they try to make them sound normal.

A 50 year old who worked at the same financial services company (in my experience, finance programmer bros are awful a lot of the time).

No way, they lived an affluent suburb??

In 2022, he leveraged his family’s finances to realize a passion project: a rustic resort in rural Utah

“He had it all… please ignore the many obvious issues.”

This article is asinine.

He’d struggled with alcoholism, but quit drinking in early 2023, months before he purchased the Meta smart glasses.

He was past being an alcoholic for months! How could this happen??

I was actually wondering if they were bringing back something like Aperture.

I liked Aperture, it was my preferred editing software before they unceremoniously dropped it.

Bréton likened the move to “McCarthy’s witch hunt” in a post on X.

We are barely one generation away from that exact McCarthyism.

Roy Cohn was Donald Trump’s mentor and “fixer.”

He was also Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel and assisted him in rooting out supposed communists (the “red scare”) and gay people (the “lavender scare”). The latter being especially heinous because he was a closeted, self-hating, practicing homosexual.

Cohn had been assisting McCarthy’s investigations of suspected communists. In the 1970s and during the 1980s, he became a prominent legal and political fixer in New York City.

He was a genuine piece of shit. Trump learned a lot from him, Cohn was one of his heroes. You can see more on Roy Cohn the self-hating scumbag’s Wikipedia page.

As a bonus fact, the word “scumbag” initially referred to a used condom. Which is perfectly appropriate for someone like Roy Cohn, who loved being used and thrown away.

Nearing retirement at 50 is already funny, but “old” is honestly hilarious. You’re so young it’s clear you don’t even know wtf you’re talking about.

I can see you’re not really old enough to be interesting to talk to so I’ll go. Bye!

Calling anyone older than you “old people” totally proves my point, thanks!

Friendslop is catchy and accurate!

Which is funny, because “boomer shooter” is literally named after a generic, derogatory term for “older people”

I prefer something descriptive instead of the inside-joke brain-rot nature of “boomer shooter.” Though now I’m sure people just think it means “loud noises”

We are watching one of the greatest wastes of money in history

This could have been written about the War on Terror.

Or possibly the “war on drugs” in the 80s, or the war on communism before that.

History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes.

A bright spot of 2025 was the continued rise of “friendslop,” a cringey internet-spawned label for a broad genre of cooperative games designed for groups of friends.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard “friendslop” and I knew exactly what it was talking about.

At least the same guy doesn’t also use “boomer shooter”

One-sentence horror story!

Firefox has actually become less stable for me, which is crazy because it was stable for several years.

It had gotten bloated and unstable when Chrome first came out, too.

Why does Mozilla always trend toward mediocrity?

It wouldn’t surprise me if Ford literally produced the vehicle because of subsidies.

If they could get a portion of the EV tax breaks, they wanted it.

Now that the current administration is obviously still obsessed with burning oil, it no longer matters.

It’s interesting because the meaning of the word “independent” is shifting for games, in the same way it shifted for Hollywood movies.

Essentially one guy made Stardew Valley, and funded it himself. Most of the development of Clair Obscur was funded by a publisher, Kepler Interactive.

So… for games “independent” now means “not funded by one of the major game studios.” Not really “independent” as it used to mean. That’s too bad.
