Is there anything more going on here than "use the right tool for the job?"

Great. Good riddance.

"Deserved?" Dude, it's a chunk of software . Please don't buy into incendiary loser ideas of these LLM's being particularly "special" or important to draw the wagons around.

Don't know why this (and similar) comments are downvoted; it's like this place is allergic to even discussing the POSSIBILITY of "maybe $COMPANY's business model just kind of sucks and deserves to lose the capitalism gam

Current water-carrier here; I find it especially hard to believe that anyone could find a ballot where a few minutes of internet research would not reveal an at least slightly preferable candidate -- if not for you personally, for your comm

This is one of those ideas that strikes me as adjacent to e.g. "The Singularity" and one could perhaps get to, "what if it's already here?" Obviously this is a little 'out-there,' but I find interesting so

I'll try to do it less snarky than others but; This is fine, but frankly we'd love to see resources toward returning Thunderbird to be the more open thing it once was. Losing the robust plugin system was incredibly frustrating; li

No dispute there.

Yeah, I deliberately worded it that way because I would have said the same as you. I don't really see MYSELF being into it, but it just seems to WOW the hell out of a lot of people.

Oh, probably nothing. Again, I'm absolutely like you and I'm with you. I don't much do podcasts either, but in a way this is why I worded it like this. It struck me as a fun party trick to ignore, but it really seems to GRAB

Probably?

I promise I'm not intentionally trying to play gotcha or anything like that, but if you're literally unable to rattle off something in a short space, my skepticism only deepens?

Good question: I absolutely mean the podcast stunt.

Great to see this: Fellow tech-geeks, ignore the NotebookLM thing at your peril. NotebookLM, far and away, has been the "AI Killer App" for the VAST MAJORITY of bright-but-not-particularly-techy people I know. My 70ish parents an

Oh no, I do mean that the lefties are the problem. They're the ones making it sterile. I'm glad the libs are pushing back. Disconnected keyboard lefties who don't touch grass calling me a Nazi because I also still use Twitt

Yeah, this is another issue entirely, but also very often wrong and misses the point. Roughly, e.g. -- Twitter (nope not calling it X) is still overwhelmingly the most useful and productive place for Black+US Politics discussion. Despite, o

Bluesky's claims to why they're better than anything always sound like crazy pill stuff to me. Other services both centralize identity AND algorithms/operations. This seems to centralize identity WITHOUT the second thing, w

This is exactly the sort of article that reminds me of how full of themselves SO MANY people in web design are. It's why I never take anything any "strong" so-called UI/UX expert ideas or notions or whatever particular

Honestly, this is the first time I've seen "hallucinate" used usefully and properly. I get that putting legal teeth on this idea is difficult and fraught with pitfalls, but I believe the benefit outweighs the risk. Similar

It strikes me as reasonable to assume (or at least strongly bet on) -- I'm not sure of the right phrase for it -- but like a mercenary type operation on behalf of some larger old media company? There's just too much "means,

Black person here; this social disconnect is of course something I pay quite a bit of attention to. The answer, typically, is OF COURSE. Big time. It would be well appreciated by most. That being said, I get where this perception comes fro

Many have probably considered this, but just in case not, I solved this issue MANY years ago by just using virtual machines.

So, I'll be honest, I don't understand this market. I get that one can be profitable selling shovels during the gold rush, sure. But I have trouble understanding who is knowledgeable/dedicated enough to try to get their AI ap

FWIW, had a pleasantly surprising experience with this podcast thing. I tried it out on a few little blogposts I wrote and I was like, hmm cool. Showed my 8 year old son how it was referencing things I wrote. And he was ON IT. Like, he ran
