    I'm tired of this hyperbole. Of course there is accountability for businesses in the USA. Not for all of them, I admit, but it's absurd to say "no one follows the law in the USA."

    I'm not lightening the mood; I'm just stating a fact. Some cells billions of years ago started producing this very highly toxic, very highly poisonous gas that killed 99% of everything that was living back then on Earth. That gas spread everywhere. It was horrible. Death everywhere. Did the world end? Nope. New life adapted and thrived. The gas was oxygen.

    Now it seems like it will be CO2. Produced by carbon-based organisms, like those oxygen-producing assholes of a distant past. And I, just like the universe, say, "eh..... it happens."

    But more to the point - naaaaah, the world will be fine. Humans ain't going nowhere. We're what, 8 billion already? That's 8 million of millions of people. Some of us will just move underground, or to the poles. But chances are, we'll fix this issue before it becomes a human extinction event.

    Vance didn’t do badly, but I genuinely can’t remember any of his answers

    I remember when he said "We must stop listening to the experts and start listening to common sense." I rolled my eyes at that one.

    This is the first time I hear the term weaponizing in the way you describe it. I would have said "AI obliterated the chore of finding the right answer from SO" or something similar. To me, weaponizing means, using against a person or entity.

    But regardless, thanks for explaining.

    Last time I tried to look up how to fenagle a dingle, Google showed me ads about how to friffle bahoonies for two pages, and finally out showed me the dingle fenagling algorithm in the ancient Expert Sex Change website.

    Regex and other forms of complex pattern matching are way easier for a computer than a human.

    I know what you meant by this, but I still chuckled. Humans are the ultimate pattern matching machines in the whole solar system.

    That phrase doesn't bother me, but I can understand the sentiment. People tend to use the same "clever" phrases over and over, and when there is a phrase you don't particularly like, you end up hating it after the 100th time.

    In my case, it's "looking at you, X" where X is not a person. E.g. "I'm looking at you, Unity framework!"

    Or whenever there is a post about a wholesome prank, someone will always comment "See? This is a good prank. Nobody got hurt, everyone laughs." At this point, I'm inclined to think that people deliberately do it as a version of "First post!!"
