From the post "There's a better name for it somewhere but it's not my job to find it"
You think if they couldn't even be arsed to google the name, that they'd google to find out their idea has already existed for years?
- xtiansimon 2mo agoGeez-sus Maybe I’m reading too much into these negative comments, but we’re reading the same text. Right? Some rando’s thoughts in their public blog (no offense intended; the about admits they’re just a person on Central Time)? It’s not like this is an article on Tom’s Hardware or TechDirt. I’m not against pointing out errors and oversights, but why this sense of offense, shock, incredulity. Heck. It’s not AI Slop or do you want more AI articles instead of these uninformed hot-take blog posts? Hehe
- rpdillon 2mo agoFor me, it's that writing the blog post clearly took more effort than searching for the proper name of the feature. So writing in the blog post that they can't be bothered to find the proper name of the feature seems performative: if they were actually concerned about addressing the problem, they would have addressed it, and there would be no blog post.
- soiltype 2mo agoI'm confused about what "bothered to find the proper name" means for a feature they believe they're inventing. If they believed it had a name that would mean they already know it exists.
- ChrisRR 2mo agoMaybe I overestimate people if I assume that when someone thinks of something they want to do with their phone, they google how to do it, rather than just assume they invented it and write a blog post about it
