Just can't figger why it is that every time these tech yay-hoos try to "simplify my life", things get harder/worse/more stressful.

Recently, she's been tackling a new challenge at Sunshine, her AI-driven startup focused on making everyday tasks more seamless, starting with managing users' phone contacts and reminding them about birthdays. The company's latest AI-powered photo sharing app reflects Mayer's broader vision for how technology can enhance personal connections and interactions.
What a bunch of PR word salad.
I skimmed through most of the article, it reads like an oligarch propaganda piece. But in the BBC's defense they did ask some relevant questions.
In particular, Mayer's framing of "pessimists" and "optimists" is almost beautiful in an abstract kind of way.
It is not a matter of being pessimistic or optimistic about ML powered services, it's a matter of not trusting a bunch of vapid, corrupt, dishonest ghouls like Mayer and her ilk.
Only a complete fool would believe the word salad about wanting to make the world a better place and leveraging technology to help develop human connections. It reads like a parody or satire.
You were at that BBQ where the shooting happened? Congrats, you're a suspect thanks to sunshine.
I always thought Marissa Meyer and Kathy Wood should have started a cryptocurrency together. Missed opportunity.
