The article also points out that Biden has been fighting against people on death row who are trying to get their death sentence removed...
so it isn't like there's no scrutiny, at least at the moment.

They're automating the CIA pulling stuff out of their asses.
OooOOhooohohhhh I'm taking a shit!
Most of the article is just complaints about random things including hypotheticals, but also don't think there are really any "basic life activities" that require being always online. Nothing really expects immediate responses to text messages or emails.
The internet is doesn't suck. Only sucks if you're being cynical and contrarian and write articles on the internet.
You can literally do stuff like access part of the Soviet Archives, auto-translated from Russian by a Russian website https://translated.turbopages.org/proxy_u/ru-en.en.65303c73-6639cc30-cb15c6e5-74722d776562/https/sovdoc.rusarchives.ru/
Read an Iranian news outlet's international edition https://www.presstv.ir/
A Latin American news outlet in English funded by left-wing governments of LatAm? https://www.telesurenglish.net/
Or get automatic updates from their websites? https://www.telesurtv.net/pages/rss.html
I do wish it was easier to use social media sites used by people who speak other languages.
and I wish people would actually create mastodon accounts...
people talk about centrialization or corporations or whatever, blah blah blah, but that isn't actually anything worse than before we had ubiquitous instant global communication.
The internet has a remarkably low barrier to entry and the hurdles to access most resources through the internet are surprisingly low.
Plus the "internet" is more than web pages. It's also real time and turn based multiplayer video games. And it's insane that they exist and work. You can communication and interact with people hundreds of miles away in sub-half-second real-time, without even using some expensive internet plan.
It's also all of the software that makes everything else in the world work. Like transportation, research and development, remotely initiated computer simulations, and so on.
It just sucks that so many people live such precarious lives that they can't experience it's benefits and are harmed by the oppression it enables. As with any other technology.
The PSN thing locked out people in countries where PSN isn't supported but Steam is, which are usually poorer countries or sanctioned countries. So allowing this allows people from more countries to paly together. Which is positive or whatever blah blah blah.

I thought Google was already incorporating some machine learning stuff into the core search algorithm anyways, which would be a much better use than directly making up sentences.
