Seems like a useful list of things to avoid when running a startup, plus situations where it may not always be a bad thing. Still, got a few thoughts here: > if you build it, they will come This feels like the cause for so many news&#x2F

I suspect part of this (at least where software devs are concerned) is resume driven development. It's a lot easier to get hired at a top company if you've worked on similarly difficult problems before, while working with 'bo

From what people have found, the site is heavily likely to be vibe-coded, has a lot of security issues, and does many of the same things people complain about Twitter doing (using your content to train AI models for example). https:/&

So basically, what wikis like Wikipedia are doing already, except as a service? I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think this seems like something that would hit any legal issues, at least not as described. It's not illegal to wri

Sounds like society at the moment even without the free labour thing. The world generally loves celebrities and influencers and other famous people, and I hear in some fields (like publishing) they're actively selecting for online fame

YouTube, Reddit, Discord, my own websites and forums, and various wikis and news sites for hobbies I'm interested in. Generally most of the sites I use are volunteer run and operated (mostly) non-commercially, so enshittification is un

I think there are a few things missing here. First, the assumption seems to be that the US is the only country on Earth, or that every other country will follow their lead. There are plenty of places (especially in Europe) which are a lot m

I've always found it baffling that more projects by folks that disagree with copyright, access controls, etc aren't hosted in places where the cease and desist won't work. It's like, you're doing something to annoy

Makes me wonder what the numbers are like in other countries. There's a lot of talk here about issues with the American education system and what not, but I suspect the numbers would be about the same in many other places too. Like, if

But that assumes the population can't vote for someone else who will kick them out. As far as I know, there are no plans to stop third parties from being created, independents from running for political roles, or people voting for whoe

Companies and celebrities are a major use case here. Lots of them (especially ones from non-English speaking countries) still use the site as their primary means of communication. For example, Nintendo doesn't have an official presence

But why wouldn't the rest of society kick them out before that point? Like at some point, there's going to be a lot of political pressure to fix things, especially if the majority of the population is going hungry or struggling to

Given all the surveillance, wouldn't the best solution be to use that to identify future sociopaths, narcissists, etc and stop them that way? Forget a test they can bypass or cheat, identify signs of questionable behaviour (like cruelt

I feel like this depends on the kind of project/work to some degree. Lots of software engineering time is spent on very simple websites, apps and other projects that LLMs have been well trained on. I suspect if you want a static site w

Well, that's my usage of the site on mobile over with now. The 'new' interface is even less usable in a mobile browser. Whenever old Reddit stops being available for members as well, that's my time to return to old schoo

This is pretty neat. Definitely seems like something that'll make writing CSS for similar classes a lot more convenient, and another example of how modern CSS seems to be adding a ton of features to make front-end development a lot mor

For better or worse, the online tech community on many social media sites is heavily against AI generated projects, and will usually be highly negative about them. If you're showing it off on Twitter, Reddit, Mastodon, Bluesky, etc, yo

Generally, I'll review any code I generate with AI myself before publishing it. I often find it interesting to try and extend these projects myself without the help of AI in general, and the results Claude spits out are usually unoptim

Let's not forget the generic images using either corporate memphis or AI. Or the lazy loading that makes it impossible to reach the footer. Or in some cases, numerous videos and animations that have no purpose other than looking flashy

Have to be honest, I wondered if there was a fire alarm going off nearby when it popped up. The fact my phone was sorta near the smoke detector probably didn't help much there. But it's perhaps not the best use of the system. Feel

Eh, I've never been a fan of licensing simply because software engineering is a vast field with huge differences in the impact your work might have. Like sure, if you're writing software for medical professionals, or lawyers, or a

I think this might be the key point to be honest, though not quite in the way the article suggests: > My bet is that AI pushes salaries further apart. To be employable, there's a bar you have to clear and that bar is whatever the c

I've always suspected it's an attempt to defuse flame wars, with the expectation that a lot of comments means a post is highly controversial and stirring up arguments in the comments section.

To some degree it's because certain options work better in other game modes and settings. For example, there are characters and karts in Mario Kart Wii which are only viable on a handful of tracks, but can dominate those tracks in time

I think there are really two types of use cases for LLMs here, and people that get value out of them. First are those that care very little about the quality of the work, or the process behind it, and just want a 'finished' produc

I recall some rather awkward/amusing examples of this in media reports on certain video games. It's better now, but at one point, about half the featured images for articles about the game Super Mario World used some random pic fr

It's definitely proof that dynamic ads added via an external script library are a massive security risk, that's for sure. Even if the provider doesn't actually get hacked like Adform here, you're still banking on them be
