Well someone's being a Grumpy Gus!
sometimes, "useful" is the wrong metric. ;)
there are times when a typewriter, or even a fountain pen, adds to the experience.
@paul_ipv6 @ai6yr Oh, I get that there are lots of reasons to like them and want to use them. But I'm wondering if there's a modern business case for them (since that's what drove their manufacture - expand the initials of IBM for details...)

A bit rich for Senator Bernie Moreno — by far the #1 beneficiary of crypto super PAC spending in 2024, now a champion of the industry's legislation — to accuse anyone of caping for special interest super PACs

I’m really grateful that we are getting more agentic AI options for the computer, but I wish we had a really good one for the phone, because that’s where I do most of my computing. It’d be cool if there was something that could help me play inaccessible games.
My own attitude towards the algorithm is a viciously beat it constantly to make it cough up what I want. Every once in a while, it’s a good idea to kick it in the head and find specifically what you want.
