The need to call customer service is often, in reality, a failing of UX: a bug, an explicit decision to employ a dark pattern. ‘Why is my account not letting me do x or y’: bug. ‘Why can’t I cancel the website?’: dark pattern. ‘Why can’t I schedule this appointment right now’: UX failing. 1/2

Also worth noting that cellular/mobile phones still provided an actual working service.
Yes there were trade-offs, but the core functions that people wanted were there.

When we switched to mobile phones, carriers were given grace for the technology- dropped calls, sound quality, reliability, etc. the public was told to just accept these limits and we largely did. With advent of supposed “AI”, we are seeing the same pattern. Companies are slashing staff while issues rise in services due to sloppification. We need to be careful about letting service quality degrade while giving it a pass for AI errors. Demand BETTER, not WORSE!

I have some sketches of an essay that I need to write, but I think it's worth brain-dumping a bit more in the mean time.
#LLMs are an attempt to make tech grow forever. But like, how many "your mom/a friend, but done by a precarious worker instead" apps do we really need? Everything right now is in the AI grift hole, but there's almost nothing of interest (even if you ignore the ethical concerns). Like, no, I don't fucking want a robot to lie to me about my groceries. That doesn't sound like a useful feature. There's a lot of useless shit being pumped out to prop up the bottom line, and a lot of people just want to be able to use their old phone for more than a couple of years.
No one is happy with this. No one wants this. Except the billionaires who are forcing us all to drink the capitalism koolaid, because they'd rather exterminate life on earth than live in a world where they experience consequences.
Nothing grows forever. That's not how literally anything in reality works, or has ever worked, at all in history. Some people think that the universe itself may work like that, but that's only an educated guess. Finite things don't grow forever. Every organism, every society, every technology, every dynamic and adaptive system we have ever known goes through a growth phase and then goes in to a stabilization phase. Or, following a Malthusian pattern, grows until it reaches a catastrophic point and collapses. Like lemmings. Or reindeer. Or cancer.

Fun bug of the day I need to chase once I finish some $dayjob stuff: same ngscopeclient binary, same scopesession decoding 100baseT1. Same Xeon 8362 so CPU feature flags are no factor.
On an nvidia 3070 in the lab it works flawlessly.
On the amd 9700 i just put in my office workstation the 100baseT1 scrambler consistently fails to lock and I get no decode, but the eye patterns look fine so it's not failing too badly.
If i run on live streaming data from the thunderscope…
