Man the Flash era, and the overall vibe of creativity on the internet back then (hey it was only 20 years ago), was the kind where you could feel a limitless potential for the future, where everyone would be awesome. Then it all congealed i

Just a day ago I asked Gemini to search for Airbnb rooms in an area and give me a summarized list. It told me it can't and I could do it myself. I told it again. Again it told me it can't, but here's how I could do it myself.

How did Twitter get away with taking X.com? If it was the other way around, would an open source or whatever project have been able to take Twitter.org?

A month ago when I asked Claude (on the website) about its privacy options and stuff, it always pointed me to the Antrhopic website to look it up myself. Another annoying example: I thought Google's Gemini would be search-first since,

Look. I wanted to change the volume. My hand went to the keyboard. I felt the key. I felt the key press down. The volume changed. That's all the feedback I need! I don't need my vision stuffed with that information. But yeah, it d

I did ask the AI first, about some things that I already knew how to do. It gave me horribly inefficient or long-winded ways of doing it. In the time it took for "prompt tuning" I could have just written the damn code myself. It d

Because before you many users complained "IT TAKES UP THE WHOLE SCREEN!!!!" and it was a bit annoying to be honest when it obscures a video or something else you're trying to view.

Yeah the more you read up on computing history from barely even 40 years ago, it seems that most of the things that we take for granted today became so more through politics (and in the case of Microsoft, bullying) than merit.
