Well if you want to go back to the original defnitions esp. In paris during the rennaissance then that's fine by me.

There's nothing in the world that would convince me that you're not awesome if your cats are comfortable enough to walk into the camera mid-meeting

One of the reasons I am an atheist. I mean what was God thinking making these morons?

They're probably old, senile and out of touch millionaires who are insulated from any consequences.

Rules for not losing election*:

  1. Don't insult the intelligence of your voters by calling them double haters.
  2. Don't insult the intelligence of your voters by pretending that they won't remember that you supported a genocidal maniac. No, the opposition being worse doesn't excuse your depravity.
  3. Don't insult the intelligence of your voters by beating them with the stick of facism. They already understand what's on the line. Debating online is different from voting.

*Does not apply to conservatives who worship Trump

Somehow the worlds gotten so rotten nowadays that I feel like he saved them. But this is just me pushing the thought process along further as personally I am not THAT religious.

There is a not insignificant portion of the population who hates buzzwords like you or me. But I am not management and I assume neither are you. So we can only surmise that we too would embrace buzzwords if we are put in a position to pitch our ideas to project managment/VPs.

The reason is Venture Capital: Buzzwords might be the only thing that tethers the money people to reality.

A while back there was the Keurig mania and VCs were unwilling to fund ideas unless they could create subscriptions even if the idea doesn't work for the product they want to sell as a service. Your chances of getting funded grew exponentially if you tacked on "Keurig, but for ". This sometimes created paradoxes like Juicero, whose subscription based juice packs could be crushed without their expensive and over-engineered juicing machine. It's function was to just put pressure on a juice sachet that many people began simply rolling tightly to get more juice than the machine itself.

2 years back, the buzzword was blockchain, now it's LLM and AI. 4 years back I think it was "Big Data" (or was it 2015?)

Anyway.. Buzzwords exist to make money people feel smart about themselves. They are simply a tool of flattery.

Only exception to this is Academia or Finance I think.

But apparently too late to prevent brain damage in me because I can't parse this title.

Logitech... the company whose 150 dollar mouse have double click issues months into the purchase?

Wait, these people finder sites need a subscription? That's the opposite of what they're trying to do.
