“You’re absolutely right I should fuck off” 😂

fun story. I did this to the Amazon AI shopping helper because it was literally popping up on every page after I opened a product. it asked me how it could help.

so, as one does, I told it to fuck off. that was the best way it could “help me”. though it didn’t do it initially, a few days later it stopped doing it.

now I know what some of you are thinking, “if you didn’t shop there you wouldn’t have this problem.” and while yes, that’s true, I don’t shop there out of convenience. I shop there because all the odd parts and pieces I buy would cost me 3x as much just in shipping costs alone, if I could even source the parts from somewhere else online. that also ignores the fact that most vendor stores will still fulfill your order through Amazon, even when purchasing through their e-store.

so, do I support Amazon? as little as I possibly can. would I use an alternative to Amazon? absolutely.

Tell them I hate them

My sister’s nephew was a copilot in Croatia 52 years ago and if he were still alive he’d be pretty upset that Microsoft gave his job title to a bunch of goddamn 1s and 0s.

If Microsoft wants people to use its AI product, they’d be better off making it useful instead of making it more invasive and annoying than pop up and interstitial pause screen ads.

Less money on marketing and VPs, more money on quality developers.

You can ask but will it do what you ask? Who the hell knows?

They think they have a good union but they don’t.
