Yes, https://adstransparency.google.com/ exists. What does your freemium site offer that's any different from that or what someone can vibecode?

Major red flags - avoid this service. "Accidentally" - nobody accidentally builds a 500 site private network. This is a lie. The "1M AI citations" figure comes from Bing Webmaster …

Google Ads at first for sure. Their search monopoly just means it's the best place for ads on a limited budget. Moving to Bing is worthwhile once you've started to see efficiency d…

"paid search ads etc have resulted in lots of clicks but absolutely abhorrent conversions in our case, whereas conversions for the more organic channels like forums etc are excelle…

Run an AI audit on a website, compile tests run and actions derived into spreadsheet tabs, write a word doc report, use a template provided for styling. Skill used in Claude to ens…

"At its core, it is a big pile of words that predicts the next word, using some maths the computers figured out." "An LLM predicts the next word based on all the words before it. T…

Not sure the article matches its title all that well. Microsoft are not "admitting" 8GB is fine. They are pitching 8GB as viable to entry-level/budget consumers because of the RAM …

They're more likely to just be bad games, that's all. Not because of the AI but because of the mindset of a dev who cuts corners and does things without experience in that field. Y…

I can't speak to coding as it's not my area but certainly the pattern I've spotted is that it's best at grunt work. That's where the time savings kick in. Browsing sites, linking u…

We're reaching a point currently where output quality is very much determined by input quality. Previously output quality was hampered fundamentally by model knowledge, hallucinati…

Is this satire?

Not too bad for AI. But why no actual product examples? I would expect to see real examples of slow workflows and boring static images being replaced by motion graphics. The ad loo…

What a clusterfuck of an article. Sentience =/= consciousness. Sentience is the ability to experience qualia, to feel, and to differentiate feelings. Consciousness is an awareness …

"I think the pendulum has started to swing the other way" "I have a tiny hope that we’re actually seeing the end of the walled gardens" ...until the pendulum swings back. There is …

Please provide an evidentiary basis for human consciousness. Please refrain from reductio ad absurdum. The building blocks of 3D graphics, cryptographic encryption, protein folding…

So utterly bizarre that a tech CEO can take this approach. It seems plainly obvious that they've tasked their internal teams with a challenge to come up with an AI product they can…

Damn you got scammed out of 60 bucks, the end result looks awful. Check out https://www.youtube.com/@noisygroup JOEY on YouTube to see how it should be done. Their work still fails…

Not from the USA, but I used the site to keep an eye on US politics. 538, named for the combined number of senators, representatives, and electors in the US, was a political journa…

Depends on the field of work. Typically for me (red/green) it just means I need to steer clear of creative work/QA of creative work because I appraise colours differently to many. …

Are they trying to sneakily use the stored project files as LLM training data?

I've got to say that it does seem like the approach to the gaming sessions appears poor. Any given activity like board gaming can be done purely transactionally or not. It's up to …

I gave up on Spotify as I started to listen to more podcasts which had their own ads inside them let alone Spotify's. Now I'm paying for Youtube (never thought I'd be doing that) a…

This is a long long log fuelled by your very obtuse way of talking to Gemini. It's matching your tone, and feeding your loaded questions with loaded answers to fit your narrative. …

I know the guidelines tell us to flag spam and not respond but honestly - fuck off with this spamvertising crap.

I cannot wait for Oatly's next marketing campaign that lampoons this decision. This does nothing to stop the rise of dairy alternatives, nor should it. Nobody is going to stop aski…
