A reduced revenue stream leading to the demise of X would actually benefit everyone. In the meantime, I'm glad I can legally keep boycotting this platform.

In the top picture, Lambert has an intriguing gaze for a reason: he's absolutely short-sighted without glasses. In a Paris street, he once bumped into the secretary at my office. Her friend was all excited while she was summoning him.

Then you get thoughts and prayers.

This whole face scanning will soon be replaced by a compulsory pet-style chip everyone has to carry under the skin. Verdict is faster: no chip=arrest+deportation. A bad or counterfeit chip earns you additional torture. Expect Tesla, Oracle and Amazon to provide hardware, database and cloud hosting.

You get a similar AI mishandling just reporting a typo in a street name in Google Maps. So much that there exist websites dedicated to flooding Maps with update requests so that a greater number will raise their score to make it through the first line of denial.

Coming soon: Whitelining mode. Or it may ship as an upgrade to Mad Max mode.

While riding my bicycle in the city, I would fear crossing the path of motorists browsing TikTok on their dash screen...
