2026-07-26T14:02:19Z

If you're using AI to build components of commercial software like OS and Office apps, why aren't you reducing prices now, given claims that AI would lower costs while you lay off developers? Someone is lying to me. It is like biggest scam ever where you fire people and still keep all profits. I hate everything about this.

The modern tech stack is a lie. To me only 4 languages exists. Listen to me:

0. C - For pure speed, total control and the constant thrill of a random Segmentation Fault.

1. Perl - For solving impossible data problems with a string of regex that looks like a cat walked across your keyboard.

2. Python - For automating your job in 10 lines of code by wrapping C libraries in clean indentation. It can’t get better than this and it does web programming and math stuff too. What else do you need?

No normal family in my country could afford a full encyclopedia due to cost, but some grants or rich folks with good fortune donated such books to our school library.

oh look, the AI batshit crazy Microslop is down the most out of the MAG 7. OpenAI's big investor, Microsof has lost 31% of its market cap in just a few weeks, and it’s gonna sink even deeper when the market opens in a few hours.

OpenAI is running out of cash & can't find new investors. Even the banks refused to sanction loans for Oracle to build an IDC for them. Now Microslop says they tone down the AI & Ads in Win11 just to win back users. their slop machines aren't generating enough profits

plagiarism machine (Sora app) that created videos of ignoring all copyrights including deepfakes of people is dead. It look like OpenAI is running out of money as banks don't want to fund their plagiarism machine and existing investors demanding ROI. this is so good. i hope the rest of the AI industry dies down too

Amazon says AWS Bahrain region ‘disrupted’ following drone activity: The disruption marks the second time in a month that AWS operations have been affected by the Iran war https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/24/amazon-says-aws-bahrain-region-disrupted-following-drone-activity

AWS in that region has still not recovered from the March 3rd attack. The loss of human life is beyond any recovery & now energy costs have increased for everyone. Amazon will likely write this off as a biz loss & move on, but the loss of human life & pain is forever. It is a sad state for our world :(

Microsoft spent 4 years stuffing Windows 11 with unwanted ads, forced Copilot integrations, stealing data to train its shity AI and other bloatware, now they want applause for promising to remove it. Reasons for a Change of Heart:
1 Increased Linux gaming
2 Apple's entry into the low end PC market with 0 forced AI
3 The "Microslop" social media shaming campaign
4 Increased costs due to AI leading to almost 0 ROI since there is no consumer demand https://www.sambent.com/microsofts-plan-to-fix-windows-11-is-gaslighting/

Google sets new 24-hour process to sideload unverified developers Android apps. That is right. Now you can't load apps without google's permission and flow control. Who knows after sometime they might think 72 hours delay is needed and so on. More info https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html?m=1

Google says this is to stop malware from stealing passwords, OTPs, and bank/card info. Do you think these steps will actually stop scammers who call and pressure people into installing malicious apps?

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously.

To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts.

The US economy, currently driven by an AI bubble, is keeping its head above water for now, but it is only a matter of time before everything goes south. If you didn’t experience the 2000 or 2008 crises (I hope nobody sees it), I urge you to take precautions, starting by reducing unnecessary spending. Trim it down. If possible, build 6–12 months of savings to prepare for potential job loss. Avoid buying items on credit. Economic crashes are like harsh mistresses, they do not forgive easily. (2/2)

While everyone busy with AI and war news, China set its lowest growth goal (4.5%–5%) since 1991, due to global and domestic challenges. India, the 4th largest economy, also struggles with high unemployment rates. These are warning signs from manufacturing and consumer driven economy of an upcoming disaster. Meanwhile, US growth relies solely on 7 mega companies with AI craze. It is not just China & India, EU, Japan other ex-USA economies are showing sluggish. (1/n)

>News: Another AWS zone hit with object and on fire

Translation: many companies are now realizing why they need competent IT staff or sysadmins to build IT infrastructure that will survive any type of outage or attack on data centers. Many developers and C-suites think they will use AI to build infrastructure and fire senior sysadmins and IT staff to save salaries. Then, one day, they find out everything is out because neither developers nor C-suites know anything about DR or keeping backups.

Somebody made this AI slop Ad to target these tech bros. Is it a shitpost? Yes, but the way things are going and the talk about replacing all jobs with AI, I won't be surprised if this is where we end up. The Matrix is a cautionary tale, and this AI slop ad is all about that.

I don't post SLOP. I think this shitpost is an exception from my side to raise awareness or just for laughs.
