   I'm curious: why don't YOU create this app? 95% of a software business isn't the programming, it's the requirements gathering and marketing and all that other stuff. Is it beneath YOUR dignity to create this? What an unt

   I was very confused by the word "contact" in the headline, which apparently means "crashed the fuck into and killed six people"

   Look, GPT-3 was pretty magical. DALL-E was amazing. Everything since then has not really pushed too far passed that "impressive tech demo" state. I like using AI to help me with coding. That's... about it.

   Maybe 90% of the actual typing part of coding, but not 90% of the JOB of coding.

    Just because Musk is doing something new in this space does not mean it represents progress . > I hate this "if you're not doing the perfect thing don't do anything at all" mindset of the degrowth group. 800 environm

    MS is saying they violated terms of service. Are you saying common carriers shouldn't have terms of service?

    No, the implication is that "North is up and up is good " is morally bad, and I find it really stupid to disagree with that.

    I mean I think we are all clearly prejudiced, given that our brains just immediately pre-judge such a map as upside-down. Nobody, or at least certainly not the OP, is calling us bad for doing so. It's the same as logical fallacies: y

    This is the Avi Schiffmann friend.com AI necklace thing announced over a year ago. Huge amount of buzz at the time but nothing but a wet fart upon launch.

    Yeah IME "unemotional" people tend to just be people who don't view anger or rage or irritation as "emotions" even though they very much are.

    2024-08-21 they had 156,328 unique posters, 2025-08-2021 they had 669,909. So "nearly" a year is cherry-picking. Whatever "bleeding" is happening* is after some enormous growth. I'm not a booster at all, they ought

    That's a 12 week window though. Foolish to use that as a long-term viability measure. I'd be willing to wager usage could come up again as the U.S. midterms ramp up in 2026.
