And nothing of value was walled in.

This makes me think of last year when Adobe made a Bluesky account and got shouted off the platform within a day for no other reason than Adobe sucks. I have hope that it signals a trend that certain audiences are simply starting to exercis

I don't come down on anyone for failing to foresee how the web 2.0/social-media/streaming eras would evolve to be used against us more than for us. I'm as guilty as anyone. But in 2026 there's no excuse for failing

Having to keep up social appearances within an accepted range and suppressing ideas and behavior that conflict with rules imposed by a religious organization does not sound relaxing to me like watching TV does. My white collar labor is less

It doesn't have those limitations on Windows or Android, so it must be an Apple requirement or limitation.

AI will never be fully reliable, and people never will be. But AI is wrong in much less predictable and stable ways, and with much less accountability.

I remember the (embarrassingly late) moment I realized that was chrome's Whole Thing. Now I can only use Firefox and its variants.

If people really were discerning, stuff like Spiderman and the Super Mario Galaxy movie wouldn't have been big hits. There's demand for slop and demand for good blockbusters like The Odyssey and demand for indie horror.

It's funny to think back to some of the stronger predictions that were made in the covid era about how changes in the world were going to be permanent. Such as that movie theaters were finished. No, there was demand before covid and th

The willingness to reshape society for the benefit of AI rather than shaping AI around humanity paints a very dire picture of the coming decade.

Making games is hard! All the flaws and limitations of AI can't be handwaved away like they can with business software, the CRUD app shovelware that gets posted here daily. Or with passages of text that look valid on the surface. There

I'm going to guess you've never worked in game dev and I'd be shocked if I was wrong.

Let's remember, though, not to fall into the trap of thinking that its current incompetence is intrinsic.

If we're going to ban tools that are unreliable but people are starting to treat them like truth...

I can understand coming down on either side of the question of whether these AI reports save or waste time. I cannot understand being surprised or ignorant about the existence or high level beliefs of either side.

Haha it would make sense they're not even sci-fi ball-knowers.

It was obvious who this was going to be about. Is his "life's work" trying to subvert Wikipedia ever since getting kicked out or rage quitting right at the beginning?

It sounds like a modern Twilight Zone premise. There's one social network left where any engagement is possible, but it's the one where nothing worthwhile is being said.

It's a strange choice of something to take personally. It doesn't mean code is supposed to be easy for everyone at all times, just that past a certain point of your own personal path towards mastery the utility of not having to wr

People who believe AI will remain user friendly and affordable forever are like people who believed streaming would remain cheap and friendly to password sharing forever.

The useful idiots will just step in and say there's a better model, or will be soon, or this will all be dramatically cheaper in 12 months.

I'm glad the article calls out early on that the data center issue is largely a proxy for the general hatred of AI. Data centers were generally tolerated until recently. You could make the case that the marginal creep of the internet f

There should be a name for the phenomenon in which the discerning minority of an online population flees a rapidly worsening service for newer, better options while the passive stay behind. Reverse network effect? Reverse Eternal September?

The economics of AI investment don't make sense without the promise of vast displacement of labor. There's a ceiling on how much value can be created for a company simply by them using AI to crank out a higher throughput of TPS re

AI in general is that same promise, writ large. The script kiddie version of any knowledge labor suddenly achievable by anyone. A great equalizer but one that drags down the average quality of all work.

I don't know how many layers of irony I should be interpreting this through. But I wonder if there really will be people who start seeing AI as sentient because they only ever saw other humans as tools that produce words in the first p

That surely applies to some people. Also there are subscriptions I can easily afford, but the proliferation of the model has turned me against it in principle.

Judging from the pictures shown in the article, the uncanny valley remains undefeated. But there's people out there who are easily fooled, so I'm not surprised the fakes are effective.

Railroads were meaningful to the development of the country. Replacing labor with cheap slop and pocketing the savings isn't.
