He's right. You don't have to cheat to become a billionaire. Stepping on everybody else's throats is a legit part of the capitalist playbook. No cheating involved.

The tracking described is extremely invasive. You say you are not endorsing it but you are certainly normalizing it. This is unacceptable.

The people behind this URL are trying to hold Microsoft accountable. The power to them.

No, we just outsourced car maintenance to professional shop services. Both because mechanical aspects have become reliable enough to last a year without maintenance and because electronic/computer aspects are mind-bogglingly complicated.

Lost me right about in the middle when he started chirping AI AI AI like a parrot. AI and trust do not go hand in hand. Focus on privacy, transparency and simplicity because instead. Good luck.

Central to this article, the author asks: "What if you just... removed the AI part?" and suggests a world of possibilities if we do. I disagree.

MCP is a protocol based on meagre structure and a bulk of human language. Either you use a large-language model to "read" this language, or you get a human to do it. The first is "AI" and the latter is... not very impressive.

I appreciate the artistic and programming skills of the developer but not the "cleverness" and "quirkiness" of their announcement post. It took me too long to figure out that this is some sort of distraction-less writing app only for iOS and so of no value to me. Less snappy memes, more empathy for me as a visitor, please.

That's an "all or nothing" fallacy, easily countered.

One alternative is water. Plus alternative products might be less efficient but less contaminating. Finally, even with Phos-Check, success is far from guaranteed.

Bottom line: the lack of transparency must be remedied and officials need to be aware and factor in heavy metal contamination into their decisions.

Most of what you wrote sounds fair and almost compassionate to me but hard disagree on "the fact it's cancer is actually largely irrelevant".

That person has just received some of the worst news of their lives, for no fault of their own. This is very relevant for approaching them with patience, kindness and care.

OP will need to reconcile their ambition and past expectations with being a decent human being and, possibly, a friend.
