    No one asked for Linux. No one asked for IRC. No one asked for email. These are all things that nerds made up and got adopted because they were useful.

    I just think it’s the stupidest thing to say: “…that no one asked for.” It’s such a dumb trope.

    That being said, I think “Vibes” is even stupider.

      No one asked for Linux. No one asked for IRC. No one asked for email.

      But people would have asked for these things at some point. Those are not stupid af.

      Nobody, except some Meta execs, would have ever asked for a feed with AI slop.

        I guarantee you I can find you 100 million people that would ask for it, if they had half a braincell to think it up.

      I asked for a free OS and Gnu/Linux was there when I asked for it. But LITERALLY no one asked for AI generated reels platform other than Metaholes in the company.
