Frankly I think the UI has gotten consistently worse. Playing saved/liked (Spotify keeps changing the word) songs from a specific artist is still very hard and convoluted. "Now Playing" pop-up panel on desktop was a feature n

If only employers are capable of communicating that expection to prospective employes in an honest manner instead of doing the whole "we are a family" gaslighting act.

I like their music discovery functions e.g. generated playlists and song/playlist/artist "radio". My playlist variety expanded greatly over the past 3 years because of these features from Spotify. A centralized platform

Occupations like computer (human form), typist, telephone switcher, all became completely eliminated when the PC came out. Jobs like travel agents are on permanent decline minus select scenarios where it is attached with luxury. Cashier wen

So can people stop their cyberbullying campaign against the previous batch of board members yet? The conspiratorial hysteria against them, especially Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley, over the weekend was off the charts and straight up vile a

It was definitely LARP. The vast majority of anecdotes shared on Reddit originate as some form of creatice fiction writing exercise.

Bluesky still has gated signups at this point so I don't think it will ever be a viable alternative. Threads had a rushed rollout which resulted in major feature gaps that disincentivized users from doing anything beyond creating their

Doubt he took this job for financial comp so even if he got paid, it probably wasn't much. Equity is a big part of CEO pay packages and OpenAI has weird equity structure, plus there was a very real chance OpenAI's value would go t

What does this have to do with Elon again? FYI Twitter existed before October 2022. Account join dates are public. Every single person involved in this, incl. OpenAI staff posting for solidarity, joined Twitter years before Elon's take

They can just work somewhere else with relative ease. Some OpenAI employees on Twitter said they were being bombarded by recruiters throughout until tonight's resolution. People have left OpenAI before and they are doing just fine.

Persuaded by whom? This whole saga has been opaque to pretty much everyone outside the handful of individuals directly negotiating with each other. This never was about a battle for OpenAI's mission or else the share of employees sidin

The board never gave a believable explanation to justify firing Altman. So the staff simply made the sensible choice of following Altman. This isn't about critical thinking because there was nothing to think about.

The problem is none of the alternatives offered a smooth UX transition. Mastodon is fragmented by design and Bluesky is gated to this day. There was never a true Digg-like event that caused user migration to reach critical mass. So people s
