You just reminded me why I unsubscribed from ground news: you can't share a link without them adding their own paywall to it, even if it's a free article. Fuck that

If you're going to jump ship because they're banning AI slop, then I think the feature is working as intended.

Aren't those about organizational processes instead of just specific software features? For example, I don't think self-hosting gitlab is enough to claim ISO/IEC 27001, just based on this snippet from wikipedia: > ISO&#x2F

I was (obviously) referring to the project that you linked to, not saying you are a bot. Github contributors page shows the whole thing was vibe coded: https://github.com/aosmith/cipher/graphs/contributors

Walking away from the closed platform you invested hundreds/thousands of dollars into over the years is a luxury (especially if you were mislead into buying a PS5 with a disc drive thinking it'd be supported at least until the end

It's easy to see why your argument is wrong with a simple hypothetical: what if they were still making DDR4 today? Would people still buy it? The answer is an obvious "fuck yeah", even if you ignore the DDR5 price gouging. Pe

Same here, and I've run into annoying technical issues too. I am on the verge of canceling, but this new AI-skeptical stance makes me want to give them another chance. Sometimes I like to listen to their stations instead of my own play

The false positive rate for assuming em-dashers are AI is probably very low right now. I doubt whatever you write is valuable enough to justify the extra time and mental effort of figuring out if something is AI or not. Internet slang like

That's just illegal anticompetitive behavior from memory manufacturers, and incompetent/corrupt/senile government officials not enforcing laws. It's as bad as it's ever been, but it's not new, and I don't

It is, but this isn't competition. This just copyright infringement. Competition would be if these people created their own software, possibly innovating and improving it in the process. That would encourage Papermark to improve their

It's obviously a problem because it doesn't work as intended/at all. What's point of building something like this if it doesn't work? At best its a waste of everyone's time, at worst it's misleading.

I remember when that terminal situation first happened, and my main takeaway wasn't "wow, this Casey guy is a genius" but rather reinforcement of my pre-existing belief that Microsoft is full of incompetent and lazy people. A

Is robotics going to be the next industry to jump on the We'Re sO DaNgErOuS!1!1! marketing bandwagon?

I realized recently that this all has an unsavory element of ego to it. It doesn't help that LLMs have basically been trained to talk like they're performing in a movie, getting creative with techno-babble that sounds both plausib

"Free software" has always been a misleading term, unfortunately. Maybe calling it "Freedom software" instead would be clearer. But when you conflate free software with open source, you get confused people cheerleading t

Replace TikTok with cigarettes, and it'll hopefully make sense to you. There was a time when people had no idea that smoking was bad for you, which is where we are now with these apps. And since they're addictive, kids will find a

> Addictive, unless we're talking about a chemical substance or something like that, is a subjective thing. What makes you say that? It's well known that the addictive patterns in these apps trigger dopamine the same way drugs

Seriously, this is a ridiculous comparison. It's apples to oranges. This site used to have interesting technical discussions, but now its all either AI cheerleading, or vibe coder blog posts.

This is obviously dishonest fearmongering, but I kinda support it if it helps non-tech people develop a sense of the type of private information tech companies are trying to collect. But it's clearly bullshit.
