Leaks are intentional. There's a reason they always happen and always in the same way.

It's the ultimate irony that I cling to the stance that humans are capable of nuance and creativity that machines will never match, yet the human-written defenses of AI are so repetitive and shallow and cliched that they don't eve

You're free to disagree with anyone here, but playing stupid is only a waste of time. It's not a difficult topic to understand both sides of, regardless of where you come down.

Projectiles existed before guns, but guns created new problems. For fucks sake we can play word games all day but let's not.

Nothing besides greed could explain the extent to which people handwave and ignore the many obvious harms and failures and risks.

Maybe it's the same sort of deal as Google where they sell the traffic to Yelp and agree not to compete? So they can sell your privacy without it looking like they're selling your privacy. If they did what you're suggesting

The point is not to let a trivial thing bother me and make my decisions for me.

It took me longer to figure out how to disable the Ubuntu motd ads than the ones in Windows but I didn't get outraged about it, I just set it up the way I wanted and moved on.

Yes, and just as ads eventually came to streaming in a worse form (unskippable, hypertargeted) that cable companies didn't have the ability to innovate, the new frontier of ads will again come with qualitatively worse innovations. Seam

It's hard to know exactly which forms it will end up taking, but dependence on these companies is going nowhere good. And more quickly than it took streaming (for example) to go from offering a better experience (to win market share) t

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I regularly get the feeling that Google doesn't dogfood its products.

I tried to make Twitter and Reddit more usable as they started to enshittify, but after a certain point I realized it was a fundamentally losing battle and gave them up altogether. Those sites were not one or two features away from becoming

It's not even lunch yet and "the mafia should be allowed to build onto their tower of crimes in peace" is a take that I don't think that will be beat today.

This response is so predictable and facile as to be annoying.

In football there's a bit of absurdity where they'll pull out a measuring device after a play to measure, down to the millimeter, whether the ball has reached the magical first down line that the team on offense needs to get to. B

I'll choose the small, simple, reliable tool over the larger framework every time, if I can get away with having the smaller feature set. I'd go out of my way to make the simpler tool work if I could, to keep the overall cognitive

Building Python from source is trivial, I wouldn't let the distro dictate what I can and can't use for such an important part of the stack.

It's irrelevant who you are to yourself if you're nothing but a row in a database to the people looking for the earliest opportunity to replace you with a cheaper option. Those people are not acting in the best interests of long-t

We're all trapped in history's worst prisoner's dilemma.

You're overthinking it. LLMs exploded the prevalence of em-dashes. That doesn't mean you should assume any instance of an em-dash means LLM content, but it's a reasonable heuristic at the moment.

That's a silly take, just because they existed and were proper grammar before AI slop popularized them doesn't mean they're not statistically likely to indicate slop today, depending on the context.

"Making" can mean different things. Yes, the new technology directly increases work by introducing new categories of tasks and a new learning treadmill to consume the time savings. Yes, the new technology does indirectly make us w
