Not exactly a coincidence. You don’t get an AI craze without wide availability of GPUs for training. Not for a much longer time.

It’s when people confuse User Experience Design, which is a systemic and architectural discipline, with UI Art, which is an aesthetic discipline. If you have someone who is professionally the latter doing the former…
The OP is absolutely not talking about making Candy Crush. They ARE talking about making art. Both can exist in the same world and be successful. The existence of and success of reality TV doesn’t negate the art of…
And the folks productizing this are actively working against noticing its power by making it cutesy. It's a good product choice IFF it matches the capabilities, and it absolutely positively does not.
We should start with the assumption that humans are valuable and deserve to live with dignity. Any philosophy that doesn’t have that at its center is broken.
Life/teenagers find a way.
Comparing the two like this is interesting but there are fundamental differences. The US today could not delete tech companies, or the people who run them, the way China can its industries—and, crucially, the people who…
Ah it’s the Wonder I always try to rush and can’t get to
We made it up. We made all this up. We do it for an outcome. Intellectual property exists as a concept to foster the creation of more intellectual property. That is not the case for all private property, because I…

Because the person found it fun is a valid reason. It’s kinda cool! I’m pretty sure Apple will do this in macOS 28, and there are some details to improve (guessing from the animation, haven’t installed it). But, people…
So replier is right here: Jobs had opinions about literally every detail, he pushed people to work out those details and challenge their own assumptions, and he talked about these things in public like a designer—not…
That’s very true—the dude was up everyone’s ass. But there is a difference between Steve being involved as a stakeholder and people who are closer to doing the work itself. I mean yeah if I had to choose purely for…
Don’t hate the player. I have mad respect for people who can actually throw away a shit ton of financial security for themselves and their families for something they believe in. It’s rare for a reason. Everyone has a…
One big difference from Steve: it isn't the Steve show anymore. The people showing this stuff off are the people who lead the the teams that work on these things. It's so much cooler to me to see the people closer to…
I think you gotta set aside some of that to enjoy both as Sci-Fi games, not space sim games. In Sci-Fi, asteroids are close together and you can shoot them for resources or lose an enemy in them like a dark forest,…
People who use AI to do criminal acts should be tried as criminals, period. Gotta stop this unaccountable crap. You pull the trigger, you did the murder.
I would not recommend using any of those notes as evidence of internal “intent.” It produces them performatively—it is literally rewarded for thinking out loud in ways that seem plausible to humans. There are several…
Suggests desperation, or delusions of grandeur, or both. These are not trustworthy people. And they have everything to lose if they do not become the most powerful and valuable company in the whole of human existence,…
I think the core lesson of the story is knowing if your hobby is listening to music or curating a music collection. Optimize for one or the other. I went from meticulously curated MP3 collection on Linux to letting…
The non-story part is that they would include this risk even if it were 5 people.
Apparently >50% of a jury did not agree with you, in this case, and that is one form of democracy we have to make sure decisions come from the consent of the governed. Looks like democracy to me.
Gotta take making things away from the bean counters. Put product people back in charge, people who love what they make. "We don't make movies to make money. We make money to make movies." — Disney
Lying bullshitters all. These people are not interested in coherent policy. They say whatever they want to justify it, we know it, and they know we know it. It’s an intentional expression of domination. Just another…
