  It's cool to dislike "disliking things "because AI""

  What? They listed a very specific complaint about the content.

  > Haven't you heard? It's cool to dislike things "because AI". There's no explicit rules against it, but I cannot stand this type of sarcastic im anti-everyone-else commentary. Super reddit-coded, and you could have made your point without it. There's a lot of discussion to have about that point actually, but I'm pretty sure we've all been collectively scrolling long enough to just kind of roll our eyes at this stuff. I read through it. I get some AI vibes. Probably a little bit of both.

Perhaps the apparent hallucination they mentioned in their comment?

  Apparently just like OP, you didn't read the article either. Just because the app doesn't ask for permission in the manifest doesn't mean it can't be acquired at runtime. It's very publicly documented [0]. So, no. Not a "hallucination".

    How certain are you of that? That appears to be about providing a message to the user before requesting permissions. However, it appears even permissions you allow your app to request still need to be declared beforehand? https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requestin... Regardless, people are reporting mixed info on whether the app declares location access: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47557010 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47557010

      I checked all versions. Maybe, just maybe, the app was changed in response? Hmmm, I wonder... https://imgur.com/a/SNJL4XO https://imgur.com/a/SNJL4XO

    This is incorrect. On Android, you must do BOTH to actually get location APIs to work.

      Well, I will argue that you are incorrect and do one better and ask why a Huawei SDK [0] is embedded in the app beyond the location tracking? [0] https://www.sambent.com/the-white-house-app-has-huawei-spyware-and-an-ice-tip-line/ https://www.sambent.com/the-white-house-app-has-huawei-spywa...

There's a specific writing style for globalized English that AI's use. And then this post also had none of the stylistic flourishes that a real author might add. And then simple things like constructing a table of 68 libraries or whatever organized by relatively subjective categories. That is something that nobody is going to do by hand.

  There is a new term "load-bearing" which is used a lot in my usage of AI. Has anyone else encountered this term being used a lot in their conversations? Or is it a quirk of personalization?
  - trueno 6mo ago
    been getting a lot of "load-bearing" and "roll your own" lately. us humans, even if kinda trash at many things, are pretty rad at pattern recognition.

    I use load-bearing all the time in conversation. People need to be careful that just because they don’t use certain phrases, it doesn’t automatically mean AI.
    - tstenner 6mo ago
      I use it all the time, but almost always sarcastically (as in "load-bearing tinyproxy instance").

    I've heard it a lot from podcasts that are towards the abundance movement. I think its common within the rationalise movement. Personally I really like it for "load-bearing assumptions". Because it let's you work with assumptions whilst pointing out the potential issues of that assumption.
