Whatever they were designed for, they are currently being sold as the solution to nearly every problem. You can't expect a layperson to look further than that, and it's completely reasonable to judge what they do against the claims being used to sell them.
You can blame the marketing departments, but that original purpose you mention is no longer a major talking point (even if it should be).
No one can answer this question with anything but speculation. If you enjoy the speculation that's fine, but just remember that no one here has a crystal ball and what they say is just a guess rooted in their own biases and lifestyle, no matter how well thought out it sounds.
Wow what a way to depict them! Also, "cephalophoric" sounds like the saints are part octopus 😅
The cephalophoric saints Felix, Regula and Exuperantius (patron saints of Zurich), holding their attributes, their severed heads, before Christ, 1506, Zürcher Veilchenmeister. (Schweizerisches Nationalmuseum, Zürich)
The idea behind such a depiction is that those saints were killed when their heads were cut off. So it was decided that they would be honoured to be traditionally presented like that in painting. There are no less than 134 such saints.
I used to be the type to want to consider a variety of opinions and play devil's advocate. The last decade has radicalized me into being much more staunchly progressive. Stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything.
It's an easy trap to fall into if you're a generally open minded person I think. I didn't want to follow the herd, and I didn't want to take things at face value. Those aren't bad ideals, but when living in a corrupt and dishonest world it basically means giving too much space to people who aren't worth it.
I'm from Washington and I'm surprised we're not higher. In the winter it's dark during both morning and evening rush hour, meaning most people are doing their commutes in the dark. It can feel pretty dangerous sometimes.
I'm not enough of an expert to explain it better, but I remember reading about a guy who came on board with google, and took over search. He had an initiative to keep people on google longer. That's my memory of it at least.
In the case of google they purposely made it worse so that people spent more time on their site rather than other sites. This means they see more ads from google as opposed to ads on another website. They've just doubled down on this with AI summaries, too. Now they just blatantly take content from websites so you don't have to go to the website that made it at all.
I guess it's not surprising that this is also a google thing, but gmail's. No matter what I type in it shows me my entire inbox practically. It's so fuzzy it's completely useless.
No I don't. I hope you're right, cause mine feels forever away at this point.
