I kinda disagree. This was luck. A dev on an unrelated project happened upon it and was diligent enough to dig in. A single change to any number of variables would have meant disaster. I worked at a company that got red teamed. The pen test

Seems ironic. Perhaps we should celebrate AI as the accelerator of capitalism’s ultimate unworkable demise We aren’t getting regulations on AI. The military industrial complex includes the tech industry now. It’s an existential race to beat

Yeah AI is taking a lot of damage when the actual problem is capitalism

Shouldn't you put those things you keep repeating into CLAUDE.md?

The editors of the AI clips haven’t figured out yet that you can just train a second LLM to act as editor They are the labor equivalent of the factory manager that is dutifully working for the bosses that are working to close the factory.

It’s 2025. You can deploy a camera anywhere you want. This article is a perfect example. I’m instantly suspicious when I see a random phone charger plugged in a common area. AR glasses are perpetually just around the corner. Everyone will b

I was in the market for my kid who is going through a hipster phase A review of one unit said that it didn’t honor the cutout tab so if you accidentally pressed record with any tape you would dub over your music I shopped for a while and ca

IMO no 3rd party app is worth using on those devices. My parents pay over $300/mo for an Xfinity bundle. It includes everything (phone, internet, and all streaming services on one bill) The paramount+ app on the Xfinity box took TEN MI

Invest in your local community. One sliver of optimism I have is that this era of social media rot can finally come to and end if enough people lose trust with online content. Media has been compromised. Your neighbors are not AI and are pr

It is useful. I use AI daily. The issue is that is it even more useful to bad actors. Our society has been based on a certain level of trust. I remember a world where photographic evidence was good enough to convict beyond a reasonable doub

I suspect you are right, but I’m not alone in walking away from this trend. They lost me as a longtime customer after too many price hikes and low programming quality. Netflix shows are “have it on in the background” quality whereas HBO has

Yubikey Bio exists. It’s $100 though so, whether it not it’s worth integrating into MacOS vs a first party keyboard is going to be subjective

The pocket sold out worldwide and made headlines everywhere. Sounds like a success to me. It’s not for me either but fashion is as fashion does.

TouchID is biometric so these are not equivalent authentication methods. As a watch user i will also say that the Bluetooth wake is unreliable enough to make this a poor replacement. Frustrating, even.

You don’t have to look very hard to see an enormous number of people expressing discontent at the latter. To speak to your examples, the right to repair, farmers vs John Deere, the exodus from X to Bluesky, the rise of alternative messaging

Not OP but for starters LLMs != AI LLMs are not an intelligence, and people who treat them as if they are infallible Oracles of wisdom are responsible for a lot of this fatigue with AI

Yeah I hate to kill the party but if you can’t imagine a need for this product, consider yourself blessed. GI issues are not pleasant. An ADA toilet at Home Depot is $300 so even the price isn’t that outrageous, honestly. It’s a unique nich

Per the thread OP, nobody pretends that CLIs do not need a manual. Many users like myself enjoy a good manual and will lean into a CLI at every opportunity. This is absolutely counter to the value proposition of a natural language assistant

I’ve run homebrew DVRs since the MythTV/Hauppauge era and it’s true My family won’t adapt to anything in the living room with a keyboard and mouse, and getting a reliable remote on any PC based solution is often problematic.

I’m really leaning towards them being an asshole in this specific case. Chromecast works in my EV for every other streaming app, so the licensing seems to be a solved problem for them. Netflix, however, never worked and my EV manufacturer h

Moving a capital is bureaucratic. Setting up new offices does sound a lot cheaper than engineering a new water pipeline for millions of people across 300 miles.

I feel that calling it AI is a big part of the problem. An LLM parses and generates language exceedingly well. I use LLMs daily now and they are a boon for certain tasks. An LLM is not an all knowing Oracle. It doesn’t know anything. People
