Comparable to this? I honestly cannot imagine. This situation would be like if Kleenex had tried to rebrand themself as “A” or something. Like the joke about Kleenex is its brand name is so known and superfluous that even generic tissues are called “kleenex”. That’s ubiquity you frankly can’t buy for any amount of money. People used “tweet” in casual fucking conversation for gods sake and the fucking petulant idiot king just flushed it down the toilet. Breathtaking.
I remember somewhere…maybe true anon, they pointed to the whole Tesla Bot announcement as a vision of the future. In case you forgot, they announced they were building a robot and so as a concept showcase (for lack of better words) they had a guy in a suit being performative of what they wanted the vision to be.

But really…this is oddly insightful because this is the true future before us. AI and “automation” are just a way for them to further alienate and obfuscate the actual human labor responsible for everything.
