Late-stage capitalist tech products left unchecked exploit human problems for profit.

If you cannot see the difference and the flaw in your argument I am afraid you're too far gone.

They are not a black box, they passed rigourous examinations and they stick to principles enshrined in constitutions and laws.

Technology, or better, the productization of it, is instead the result of the interest of very few powerful individuals or corporations and aggressive product market fit iterations.

The bullish discourse around the PMF loop says that this is good because it is better at solving people's problems. But after a few decades it is obvious there's a gigantic risk the process actually exploits people's problems instead of actually solving them.

It is a manifestation of the commoditization of Cloud Computing Interfaces.

I drink sometimes, most times I don't. The rare times I am asked why I don't drink I say "I don't feel like it" and everybody moves on with their life.

Maybe I'm lucky, but it's hard for me to understand why alcohol consumption or the self-imposed deprivation of it is such an important personality trait for so many.

The absence of this comment would've been a rebuke to the original article: the oh-so-useful AI would've provided you with a summary of the post.
