Ouch. A soulless AI voice talking about Arduino - once a creative hacker's tool/toy: people with enthusiasm. Now this. Welcome to the brave new world.


Right, but is AI the problem, or is it just that it's owned by a megacorp like Qualcomm now, so the joy is inherently no longer as important as the bottom line?

Let's not pretend that pre-AI, megacorps actually cared about enthusiasm. This is a symptom of a class war, not a technology.

Yeah, it's class war all along. They look like they're about to decimate the working class at this round but the fight will go on.
