I feel similarly but if people want to hate on AI, they're free to do so I guess

Fair to say it's not an addiction but habit forming? Just like food, gaming, exercise, certain drugs...? For example with certain drug addictions there is a direct physical danger of overdose which doesn't exist in the same way wi

I think it's just that grammar is independent of getting results; so bosses who might get results might also have bad grammar. Having good grammar doesn't make you any more able to get things done - in other words, someone with ba

Probably more nonprofits could be started that just cost extra money to recycle stuff (like, you might not be able to make it into a business where the recycled stuff pays for itself, but people might be willing to pay to prevent e-waste fr

> The real reason corporations have been laying off people comes down to one word: bloat. Naw, it's over-regulated markets leading to a scarcity of jobs at lower pay; not enough freedom to start up and build

The writing was on the wall here like a decade ago And often is there for existing apps, that things like this can happen So people might take stock of existing apps like Discord that they might want to migrate from

Doesn't have to be that way, it's about managers being realistic and not pushing people too far

was trying to figure out how I could run this basically on a computer that's offline / local maybe I could feed the link to an AI that could walk me through an easy way to set up element (to chat?) and ollama (for the LLM?) and th

Reminds me of a short writing "I, Pencil" The problem is education, and maybe ironically AI can assist in improving that I've read a lot about programming and it all feels pretty disorganized; the post about programmers being

I wonder how long it will be until sites like these dominate I already see people spinning up clones of a bunch of the other social media and forum sites

After reading a bunch of blog posts like this, I'm now kind of glad to see "good code" go away and am also glad to pour more gasoline on the flames of fire burning away at such code, so to speak I think "good code"

I think the sweet spot is ai-assisted chat with manual review: readily available, not as costly agents jump ahead to the point of the user and project being out of control and more expensive I think a lot of us still hesitate to make that j

That sounds fine, maybe you're still learning to prompt for what you want but ai-assistance with manual review seems like a sweet spot instead of vibe coding (or not reviewing output at all) So, ask ai for help on prompting or look up

Sounds like a lot of products will be in trouble if AI becomes more advanced with producing secure code with maintenance processes to keep evaluating code on an ongoing basis

Don't understand why more companies don't just make ads opt-in as a trade for more features A lot of people are ok with ad supported free tiers (Also is it possible to do ads in a privacy respecting way or do people just object to

Interesting OP, I didn't think of this but I was thinking along similar lines of them splitting the Moltbook into a philosophical forum and a practically oriented forum, as it seems a bunch of posts were going in one of those direction

You don't have to review your own code if someone more capable is willing to (just communicate that it isn't reviewed; someone can also ask AI to comment on what the code does for review)

Yeah, it should change things but also free up other energies to work on things
