It’s called model collapse, and actually it’ll get worse not just stay the same.

They are going to do what they always do: gaslight us, hype some other dumb product as the next smartphone/internet/etc, and further monetize everything

A super fun counter argument I heard once is that if it’s intelligent design, surely it’s not for humans. The universe is BIG with lots of empty space, lots of massive elements to it. Surely it was designed for something much bigger than humans.

It can, but both my Fairphone and old pixel could have a physical sim and an eSIM. I daily drive both with my old US number and my current EU number. Can’t have two active eSIM cards at once though

I’ve heard the joke around 9 women making a baby in a month by PM standards

The term snake oil is actually especially fitting for this, due to its origins.

In Britain in the 1700s there was a somewhat common recommendation for using rattlesnake oil from the fat of the snake for skin diseases/rheumatism. The efficacy is debated but it’s got some amount of potential for change (if not help).

This turned into people in the US selling mineral oil as “snake oil” as a total panacea. So a product that actually could do stuff being used as the poster child for a completely useless product that can solve every issue ever, buy as much as you can today.

Snake oil indeed.
