Yes, but none of this applies to the local codex agent that runs when I tell it to and has access to my computer. Like: „scan this folder of PDFs and create an excel file with all expenses. Then enter them into my tax software.“ This needs

How many of these threat vectors are just theoretical? Don’t use skills from random sources (just like don’t execute files from unknown sources). Don’t paste from untrusted sites (don’t click links on untrusted sites). Maybe there are fake

Source? But it‘s true that I forgot about the Google Search deal.

Services revenue is mostly just 30% from App Store Sales. This means every time a user clicks a pro account for ChatGPT or Claude on their phone, Apple makes more money than they could make with a self deployed model.

Can you give me any new (i.e. released in 2026) app that does something useful? There's just not many good app ideas left after all..

Absolutely. That was exactly how I meant it! Indeed that meaning was a bit lost in the LLM version.

Nobody said that. But as you say, it's just a tool. Tools need to be used correctly. If tools are unintuitive, maybe that's due to the nature of the tool or due to a flaw in it's design. But either way, you as the user need t

You're absolutely right! No, really: I've never had this problem of unprompted changes when I'm just asking, but I always (I think even in real-life conversations with real people) start with feedback: "Works great. What

As a non native speaker, I sometimes use LLMs to search for a way to formulate my thoughts like I intend them to be received by the reader. I'd never just copy the verbatim LLM output somewhere, it always sounds blunt and not like me,

Honestly the sentence from the readme just sounds like a recommendation an LLM would make.

I understand the message this tries to tell but this is not how it will look. This is how dying cash cows look. This isn’t even dangerous, it’s just ugly and wouldn’t be used by many people. The real thing will look like ChatGPT. It will ev

Me too! I learnt a lot about how games „work“ by using the level editor and using more and more of the advanced features. And playing your own worlds in 1vs1 serial linked multiplayer mode was a whole new experience.

Please keep us updated on how many people tried to get the credentials and how many really succeeded. My gut feeling is that this is way harder than most people think. That’s not to say that prompt injection is a solved problem, but it’s ma

ClawHub isn't even useful. You can just point tell your OpenClaw agent you want it to do, and it will implement it. No need to rely on someone else's code^H^H^H^H textual descriptions of how to do talk to service xzy.

This article is about people using abstractions without knowing how they work. This is fine. This is how progress is made. But someone designed the abstraction (e.g. the Wifi driver, the processor, the transistor), and they made sure it wor

Even if I don't share the opinion, I can understand the moral stance against genAI. But it strikes me as a bit unfaithful when people argue against it from all kinds of angles that somehow never seemed to bother them before. It's

Wow funny I‘m just seeing this after posting my tab editor in another comment. I have the same use case as you :) https://github.com/planbnet/guitartabs

A few weeks ago I vibe coded a guitar tab editor just because I wanted to share a quick tab in a chat group with my band. When the first prototype already worked great, I just couldn’t stop to add features so that it now even has mouseover

A bit OT: What's up with the mouse pointer on that page? Why on earth would a site that has "design" in it's domain name change my mouse pointer to a finger-sized circle blob on my 4K desktop screen?

> None of these laws are actually about protecting children. That's not the real goal. I fear that for 90% of the supporters of such laws (just like with chat control) this statement is wrong, and they truly do want to protect minor

IMHO, Apps can look (and maybe even "feel") any way they want. But when it comes to integration into the system, they should be as native as possible. It'S 2025 and I can't drag and drop from/to the Gmail app on iOS

Yeah - been there, done that, too. I feel like the time I gain from having a shortcut is often less that what I wound need to maintain it or to remember the real syntax when I'm on a machine where it's not available (which happens

I‘m paying for workplace too (ex-free account), can you share more details on why it was frozen? Did they give an explanation or do you just assume it was because you use IMAP? Do you never login to your account on the web and just had it i

You may like Windows better, but WSL2 is just a virtual machine with all the downsides (slower, no docker) that brings . In fact, on my windows PC I still use WSL1 for that reason.

This is simply not true anymore. I really believe when the App Store started, they did not see it as a profit center, but in the last 10 years, the bean counters took over.
