I mean Bard barely lasted a year. Arguably Gemini is just a rebrand of Bard, but Bard is still dead.

My favorite: “Is it time to rewrite sudo in Zig?” which has a few layers to it.

Not sure, I thought basically every link was pretty hilarious. "FDA approves over-the-counter CRISPR for lactose intolerance" isn't even that funny on its face but for some reason it had me actually loling.
