Getting instant answers without having to deploy any effort isn't going to make the problem go away, it's going to make us dependent on the solution.

"Instead of making search smarter we just decided to make everyone stupider" Why invest in making users more savvy when you can dumb down everything to 5 year old level eh

I don't see how this is any different than enriching knowledge bases from feedback and experience. You just find yourself duplicating all the information, locking yourself in your AI vendor and investing in a technology that doesn&#x27

Except AI support agents are only using content that is already available in support knowledge bases, making the entire exercise futile and redundant. But sure, they're eloquent while wasting your time.

I love how Threads, a multi-billion dollar company, just infinitely loops if you don't let it set its spying cookies.

Well, that's a good example. Why would you get a DJ when you can say "Siri, play Weddings Classics"? There's no humanity involved, no skills to read the room or cater to audiences. So you get a DJ; what if your DJ thinks

I've always felt building something was close to artistry. You create something out of your thoughts, you shape it how you want and you understand how it works to the most minute detail. The amount of times I've shown something

Another difference with Spätis is you can buy beer at 8 am. I remember walking to work and seeing a bunch of old drunks at those tables. Great for pre-drinks though

Nothing unique about deps. NYC has bodegas, UK has Spars, US has 7/11. Wherever you can still go to buy cigarettes/vapes, beer, sweets, sugary drinks and porn mags, that's a dep. It has long since lost its etymological purpos

Please don't make fun of JavaScript. Last time it happened, it replied with Node and now it's everywhere.

I'm sure they did, but that was the only way to check all the boxes. It still fulfills its purpose, albeit badly for this particular bit. It's classic "users will work around it" mindset; 75% of the project is still fine

Yup that's what I use as well. With whatever the name of the extension that makes allowing cookies a whitelist thing too, and PrivacyBadger/Decentraleyes. Also, deleting everything when Firefox closes. It's a little annoying

We were already able to browse the knowledge. AI is throwing it's conclusions at us without having us go through the understanding process.

Seriously this is bonkers to me. I, like many hackers, hated school because they just threw one-size-fits-all knowledge at you and here we are, paying for the privilege to have that in every facet of our lives. Reading is a pleasure. Watchi

If you invest nothing in your casino upkeep, or focus on stupid ideas like daily themed coasters, the new casino next door will take all your business just by being new.

The job markets aren't dead, job boards are still full of opportunities. What's dead is the interaction between recruiters and candidates, and we can thank AI for that. For job boards, there's definitely opportunities to cut

Operating a failed job board is a lot like operating a failed casino. If you can't make it work in today's market, it's largely your fault. Especially when they were so dominant a few years ago. Monster.com was a pop culture

When you hear an art piece was stolen from a museum, do you ever hear about the buyer? No, you hear about where it was, who stole it and where it was found.

Stop asking and expecting a private for-profit corporation to do what you want or what you think is right. They are not there to serve you, they exist to profit off of you. Delete your account if you're unhappy with the service or the
