N of 1, I use Gemini a lot for research and find it very helpful, but I still loathe the creep of GenAI slop and the consolidation of power in tech conglomerates (which own the models and infrastructure). Not all of these things are equival

The promise is to automate the drudge work, freeing people to pursue their passions. Like, you know... creating art.

While TikTok is clearly still dominant, I don't think it has much of a moat. If Insta and youtube shorts get enough traction, there's no reason creators won't simply post to each of them to maximize their reach. The legacy pl

Same experience here. I see people gushing over these codex models but they seem worse than the big gpt models in my own actual use (i.e. I'll give the same prompt to gpt-5.1 and gpt-5.1-codex and codex will give me functional but weir

I think seniors know enough to tell whether they need to learn or not. At least that's what I tell myself! The thing with juniors is: those who are interested in how stuff works now have tools to help them learn in ways we never did. A

Well, maybe it isn't so insane? Server side rendering has been with us since the beginning, and it still works great. Client side page manipulation has its place in the world, but there's nothing wrong with the server sending page

In a work context, for me at least, this class of reply can actually be pretty useful. It indicates somebody already minimally investigated a thing and may have at least some information about it, but they're hedging on certainty by le

I really like this framing. A lot of people mysticise them or want to quibble about intelligence, and then we end up out in the "no true Scottsman" weeds. We know what they are, how they work, what they generate. Let them be their

I'm not sure this is bad? It's still maintained, and it isn't like there are frequent revolutions in UI design - if it works, it works. Slow and boring is a pretty nice place to be.

Lest we forget, they initially rose to prominence by being cheaper than the existing solutions, not better , and I suppose this is a tradeoff a lot of their customers are willing to make.

Is it actually worse than the status quo though? I'm not so sure. I hate this era of consolidation but Warner and HBO have already degraded, so this may be the least bad outcome here.

Sure, and you can point out the stats all day long, but you're not going to defeat irrational parental concerns with this One Weird Trick. So much of the way we treat education is based on vibes rather than reality.

I guess there's a market for this but I'm personally disappointed that they've gone with the "cram a computer into the headset" route. I'd much rather have a simpler, more compact dumb device like the Bigscreen
