Nah you just have innovation bias. Newer does not automatically mean better. That’s a wild take in 2026 since all of these companies have been marching towards enshitification for a decade.

Plenty of research showing that use of AI is just offloading your cognitive function. We know enough about neuroplasticity to clearly see this will impair those who use it for everything. It’s important to be challenged sometimes, the illusion of intelligence does nothing for us.

It’s definitely a surprise to most students. Not really reasonable to expect people who have never been taught tech to understand tech.

Unregulated capitalism (and probably all power systems) self-selects for mental illness. Not only do they not plan for long-term, the people running a lot of these companies are not capable of it.

A lot of schools and universities don’t allow their teachers or professors to choose the learning platforms. Half of the AI problems in education are solved with old school exams on paper but the people making decisions are easily influenced/bribed by tech assholes.

Mining is such a dangerous industry still. Feel for the families, every person in a mining town knows what a loud sound can be.

Definitely some cognitive dissonance involved here but I like the overall tone.

The vast majority of the market is made by only three companies who all have dramatically raised prices. Sk Hynix, Samsung and Micron.

Mine is a newer 2X Solar. The solar definitely helps (although obviously only when the sun is out, winter training might not be similar). I have just over 40% remaining after a few weeks and like 3.5 hours of gps tracking time. Im definitely sold on the solar part. My only Apple Watch comparisons are the first few generations but HR seems similar to those (good enough to be useful but probably not as good as a real chest strap).

Part of it might be the simple screen which I like - feels like gshock.

I think the issue isn’t so much you filming runs and rides as GoPros have done that forever, but you know some people will be walking around constantly with these in public, bathrooms, classrooms, and live streaming it to the world while doing antisocial bullshit for content.

A solar Instinct can go for weeks. With gps tracking 3-5 hours a week.

Trained on existing people.

Google is an advertising company. Everything they do is about collecting data to feed their advertising arms.

Objectively their business is doing well. Their social network is clearly dropping off like most others. Real people are posting much less across the board, Reddit is turning into a passive AI fueled entertainment platform.

It’s hilarious if you believe this, the USA is a surveillance state, sure, but China is clearly not any better. They have cameras everywhere and extremely advanced surveillance tech.

Even better if the think tanks had to state their funding sources by human name in the title.

Also the system selects for mental illness so a lot of the worst offenders here literally can’t feel empathy.

I hate billionaires existing but comparing Gabe to Elon seems pretty disingenuous. Elon has and continues to normalize some pretty horrific things.

Definitely gonna be restrictive contracts so manufacturers can’t sell both and forced advertising for Microsoft services like Google does with Android OEMs.

Obviously I’m referring to ranked predictive timelines vs chronological. A basic heuristic chronological feed (eg. most recent) has little in common with modern machine learning powered social media timelines designed to be “most relevant”.

Ban algorithmic timelines for all social media, news, and entertainment.

Ban real-time algorithmic pricing.

Enforce a higher standard of driving, tailgating, extreme speed, distracted driving is insane.
