Drivel. Where are the AI agents doing value add work out there owned by no one? How much do the robots at car factories pay in tax today? The arguments make no sense in the foreseeable future. Maybe some future word post AGI but even then,

You must have missed the article posted this morning where ChatGPT complexity invented a sexual allegation against a law professor including citing a fictional news article that never existed. I wouldn’t call that a subtle misunderstanding.

This is a new wave thing pretty much only prominent in online spaces like Reddit. Read some fantasy by female author Robin Hobb and she will regularly use the word. Spend anytime immersed in minority culture and you will frequently hear fem

Not the OP but I use React for all my small projects. I do it because it’s the right tool for the job. Why is it the right tool? Because I seems 40 hours a week working with mammoth React projects and therefore its the tool I can “just be p

It seems like it should trend more and more that way as time goes on. I like new things, variety is the spice of life after all. However, a natural part of that journey is disappointment and lots of middling enjoyable experiences, be it foo

That’s like gluing wheels onto the side of a horse to call it a horse car. Horses are still thriving to this day as a hobby but that doesn’t change the fact that cars ate their lunch. Board games are much the same but if you are going to ad

My wife and I listen to books together. We have tried, and failed, several times to buy two books and read them together. One inevitably gets ahead and has to wait for the other which ends up killing the whole experience. We haven’t bought

I havnt purchased a book in 5 or more years now. I still buy dozens a year but they are audiobooks from audible now. I treat it the same way I do Steam for my video games. It is my one stop digital library of goods and if it doesn’t exist t

Him and Kate Reading did an excellent job with the Wheel of Time. He does so many different voices and really amplifies the emotion of a scene. Puts to bed any questions of basic voice to text replacing audiobooks in the near future.

You should see the porn on Reddit. This is an American consumer issue not a foreign nation issue.

A 55 year old losing their 100k job and facing only minimum wage offers that replaces 30% of their income is a sad reality for a lot of Americans right now. There is not a worker shortage in every area of the economy just in the economy as

Quality compared to Hollywood’s is bad of course. Compared to Reddit or YouTube it’s great. Depends on what you are expecting I guess.

by the_lonely_road 4y ago
This simply is not true. One of the reasons TikTok is so addictive is because of the high signal to noise ratio in favor of signal. People talk about the quality of their algorithm all the time. The first day or two is naturally not as good

The best part of TikTok is being able to see who is talking to you. Reddit has become less and less useful to me as I have aged as I can’t shake the feeling that I’m not talking to a person at all or if I am it’s a 13 year old edge lord pre

No one barged into Heroku. The company offered a free service because they considered it a worthwhile marketing strategy. It has to be free because no one, including the authors, are interested in paying for the projects that are looking f

Many of these projects have no revenue and only exist because a free plan existed. Paying is a non starter so asking where that next free alternative is is a logical intermediary step before shutting it down and moving on to something else.

I was one of the people that didn’t care Facebook was doing that. I am one of the people who still doesn’t care that TikTok is doing it. I stopped using Facebook because my feed became garbage not because of any kind of privacy concerns. Ti

Isn’t the AP the organization that insists Black be capitalized while insisting that White not be capitalized? They are just as biased and steeped in the culture war as anyone else. For the record I don’t care if both are capitalized or bot
