Are you ready for the AI bubble ?

With billions of investments and mediocre revenue because Google still has not learned how to focus on its customers? Wait for more people being laid-off but now on "investment areas" ahahahah

Gemini AI is TRANSFORMATIVE

They way they explain it: If its great, you get fired. If it's bad, you get fired. It'll transform you from employed to homeless in either outcome.

End Outsourcing

If you are tired of the offshoring then contact your congress person. Only way anything will change is if you get involved politically. Only takes a few minutes and is worth a try. Go here to send an... — read more

Gradually moving to Firefox now...

Really can't stand Chrome now. Watching Youtube shows me a blank dialog log after i adjusted the play speed. And it's a memory hog! Since Google is supporting Mozilla, I will keep using Google Search.

PIPs Are Worse Now
