If you're concerned about code generation, then learn how to actually write the damn code yourself!
Neat, but sort of ironic their main product is an "AI clock" that takes an intrinsically human act, writing a poem, and pulls the human out of the loop. It's nice that they explained the process to a bunch of kids,…
I also will not take any article or website seriously if it uses AI generated graphics/art.
I'm not quite sure what the correct term is for this scenario, in which LLMs are being forced upon people in many places that previously had human-to-human interaction, some of it coming from YC backed companies, while…
> but I'd say it still remains the most rock solid UNIX™ desktop OS out there That doesn't mean that they aren't still constantly making it worse. Apple themselves note that most of the new features in the OS are…
> But I think the more exciting fact is that we can probably expect LLMs to get a LOT cheaper in the next few years as the current investments in hardware begin to pay off Citation needed!
Stop giving money to the ghouls who run these companies (I'm talking about all of silicon valley) and start investing in entities and services to help real people. The human cost of this mass accumulation of wealth is…
How is an article that discusses the shortcomings of a mega corp vacuuming up competition, resulting in the majority of restaurant food being the same bland low quality stuff a union hit piece? Maybe Sysco sucks and…
This whole thing feels like a neat encapsulated example of how horrible the "Internet" has become. A bad actor with vested interest taking over a part of a website (Reddit) that is then used as a source of record…
I do wonder if more people would buy a smaller phone if it had the same cameras and features as the pro? Time will tell if thinner sells better than shorter and less girthy. I for one hate how even the 17 pro is…
So if nobody believes him, why is he a highly compensated executive? Shouldn't he be relieved of all responsibilities? Even if he owns a majority of controlling shares, that should be a red flag that the guy in charge…
So much of what is going on with big tech and the US government at the moment is either wildly corrupt or completely bewildering. And the response from most major press seems to be a simple shrug? What happened to…
If someone keeps choosing to use the "mechahitler chatbot" at this point, I don't think they care about what misinformation goes into their prompt.
Why are we letting private companies own public infrastructure?
They didn't even care that involvement in Iraq was based on lies.

Right, but these companies are selling their products on the basis that you can offload a good amount of the thinking. And it seems a good deal of investment in AI is also based on this premise. I don't disagree with…
It's interesting that businesses can build an obviously toxic subscription model that robs consumers of both money and time, but when asked to change it now we have to consider their costs. I understand the idea behind…
Yeah, my reaction to this was "Big deal? How is this news to anyone" It reads like articles put out by consultants at the height of SOA. Someone thought for a few minutes about something and figured it was worth an…
How about just more third-spaces without the classist gatekeeping?
Believe it or not, cars stuck in traffic is not a good indicator of how well businesses are doing. https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/traffic-down-business-gover...
We already do. It’s called the value of your time. If there’s too much traffic, chose another route. We don’t need more tech shit trying to improve mobility when the solution is clear- fewer cars, more mass transit (and…
What about crime from people running lights and hitting bikes and pedestrians with their cars?
What exactly is the superpower here? Having a large chunk of steel you need to micro manage the location of, or pay up the nose to have a dedicated space for? Have you ever ridden a bike? Taken the subway? Heck, you can…
I'm sure you could ask a historian, librarian, or expert in a field and get a nice, human-curated experience instead of more AI slop.
