Amazon delivery really is the role model for enshittification. Used to be pretty good at meeting their dates, now it's maybe 50/50. Like literally the most untrustworthy now when it comes to shipping.

“Immigration camps in the United States today disappear people politically before, all too frequently, they disappear them physically. To combat the suffering we should use language that reveals the inhumanity rather than conceals it. The word camp does just that.”
Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington
I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

A developer made a browser extension called "Knockoff" that shows what a wasteland Amazon truly is by filtering out brands like "GODONLIF" "EHEYCIGA," ROTTOGOON," and sponsored products. Useful and illustrative even if you don't use Amazon www.404media.co/knockoff-bro...

Because it takes some fucking nerve to say you're not a citizen but Black people are, when Black people are being beaten up on suspicion of being Somali and the Supreme Court says that Trump is allowed to act on racial animus and eject Haitians from this country. Some fucking nerve.
My take on AI quite simply is this; 1. Take a circa 2000 slop machine like ColdFusion that produced code people have made entire careers cleaning up and rewriting, and 2. Glue on a natural language interface to wow the idiotic corporate suite. That's all it is. Low code/ no code slop machine.

It really is something how Amazon's delivery policy is now: "The date we promised delivery is just a date we made up to convince you to buy it. The real date of delivery will be whenever we fucking feel like delivering it go suck on it by the way we're upping the cost of Amazon Prime."
And the truly sad thing is that it was in no way inevitable. It was a deliberate choice.

Watched two Subaru SUV drivers try to navigate past one another in the local food coop parking lot yesterday and, oh boy, if there's a car brand that more consistently attracts mediocre, frustratingly timid drivers than Subaru, I can't think of it.
This is why I'm actually kinda glad Z can't run for President. Like, he would make a fucking SPECTACULAR President. I think we all know that. No disagreement from me on that. But change doesn't manifest from the top down. He'll be WAY more effective fast-tracking DSA members into local positions.

Musk is both the tech boom of 2000 and the housing boom of 2008 wrapped up in a sweet coating of political contributions and exorbitant banking and exchange fees, and when it explodes as both before, we learn yet again that this only happened because of oversight failure at every step of the way.
And used that tech to deskill, devalue, and depopulate the human workforce.
