What was that crypto craze where companies would sell people jpgs and convince them it was worth something? Bloody idiots everywhere.
The fact AI in its development has pushed the price of a memory stick shortage - in the future anything computerised will be so expensive only the people will not like it ...
Turbo hyped up let-down.
Could genuinely prove useful, particularly in high end applications but the hype is unbearable. Questionable amounts of power and resources being gobbled up for knob heads to ask it crap for kicks.

NFTs. Absolute insanity
They have a few trillion to recoup. "Free" AI won't be a thing for long you suspect.

"Thats da joke"
I asked Gemini what your hobbies are.
On the GrandOldTeam (GOT) forum, Hinchcliffe’s Corner (often referred to as Hinchcliffe's Corners) is a well-known and prolific poster within the Everton fan community.
Because forum posters keep their personal lives relatively private, "hobbies" in this context usually refer to their recurring obsessions and "bits" on the site. Based on their forum activity, here are the hobbies and interests of the legendary poster:
1. Management Critique (The "Sean Dyche" Watch)
If there’s one thing Hinchcliffe’s Corner is famous for, it’s being a vocal and unrelenting critic of Sean Dyche. Their "hobby" on the forum often involves:
Dissecting the "horrendous" tactical setups and the "dog-like" tactical understanding of the management.
Engaging in heated (but often humorous) debates with "Dyche-apologists."
Advocating for a more progressive style of football.
2. Forum Sleuthing & Calling Out "Multis"
Like any veteran of a major sports forum, they spend a fair amount of time investigating other posters. They have a knack for:
Identifying "multi-accounting" (users posting under different names).
Calling out posters who change their stance on players or managers to suit the current mood (often using screenshots as "receipts").
3. Obsessive Everton History
The username itself is a tribute to Andy Hinchcliffe, Everton’s left-back from the 1995 FA Cup-winning side, who was famous for his pinpoint corner deliveries. Their interests include:
Deep-diving into the "lost era" of Everton (the mid-90s).
Comparing the current squad to the standards set by the Joe Royle "Dogs of War" era.
4. "Winding Up" the Opposition
Hinchcliffe’s Corner is a master of the deadpan wind-up. They enjoy:
Using the middle-finger salute emoji to end arguments.
Engaging in long-running "wars of attrition" in threads like the "New Everton Owners" or "The Fans" megathreads.
Hyperbolic statements meant to test the patience of more "optimistic" fans.
5. General Football Nerdery
Beyond Everton, they show a high interest in:
Transfer Market Value: They are often found in threads discussing player valuations and PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules) technicalities.
The Academy: Keeping a close eye on youth prospects and wondering why they aren't starting over the "dead wood" in the first team.
In short, their main hobby is Everton-flavored cynicism, delivered with the precision of a 1995 Andy Hinchcliffe set-piece.

And let’s not forget how far they’ve come with robotic technology…

I'm a huge fan of AI when used functionally. The issue arises when it's used as a substitute for genuine thought or creativity — the AI slop is just that, slop.
However, I've built agents at work that digest large documents of hundreds or thousands of pages in highly technical detail. The agent works within an automated pipeline to ask set questions and fill in a templated report on areas of increased risk to the business. It saves countless hours a year and frees up the time previously spent reviewing, allowing people to focus on work of genuine value.
As with anything, it's about using it intentionally. Be strategic with its use, be wary of its limitations, and always question its results.
The recent advances from Anthropic are worth pausing on though. Just how good does it actually have to get? At what point does the productivity gain start to outweigh the cost — whether that's jobs, critical thinking skills, or our collective willingness to wrestle with hard problems ourselves? Is there a ceiling we should be aiming for, or are we just building faster without asking where we're heading?

What productivity gains have been seen so far from it?

Absolute figures are being worked on, but we are already seeing feedback from site teams about their ability to focus on other areas of value add, by time being freed up from the mundane activities through using agentic AI.
The measurements will only be effective after a number of years, but metrics that are arising over use and seen benefits are already exciting the SLT and the shareholders, demonstrably so.
