banger as always valerie! is it so hard to treat humans as humans, on their merit and delivery and contribution and existence, instead of long hair + dress = complications. technology has had a big glow up and incredulous glow down over the years I feel and we’ve come back to the same original stereotypical movie scene: nerd has crush on high school sweetheart but is too nervous to talk to her so he’s, to no fault of his own really, weird about it -> tech bro wants profiteering on the heart of a modern woman so, with all fault of his own and no intention to improve, he’s weird about it. no browser extension or e-commerce application or UGC video of Claude will capture that humanity.

also, kmart in australia released an 89 dollar version of those meta rayban glasses and it like immediately sold out. something tells me they’re not being used to make cute day in the life videos.
