What if you played Pachinko for two hours? Even if you won two dollars, you basically wasted your time.

I’ve heard this gatekeeping argument before, but it’s not convincing. Nobody prevents anyone from doing anything with any tool of their choosing; nobody prevents anyone from writin…

Of course we know it. It’s been obvious since at least 2023. Everyone in AI oversells, except a few companies that built an actual business with revenue, like Midjourney. There is …

How is this secretive if venue is public?

Not that surprising since the whole LLM ecosystem is based on plagiarism.

To be fair, raising money takes a certain skill, that few people possess; and in many cases, it’s essential for a startup to even exist.

Of course, there is no way that a wasteful company like IKEA, that basically sells overpriced plastics and cheap aggregates does actually benefit humanity as a nonprofit implied pu…

Same here. I have multiple sites working on Jekyll for almost 10 years as well. I’ve considered moving on to other frameworks such as 11ty and tried local versions for the sake of …

The erosion and further diffusion of responsibility is the trend that worries me the most, since it’s already how all mid-size organisations, businesses and institutions alike, ope…

Another meaningless, extremely cringeworthy, tweet, hailed as a messianic message by many at the time.

“Make something people want” was supposed to be the motto.

Anything goes, these days…

LinkedIn is one the most useless app ever. I have trashed it countless times, but I do use it now and ten to keep up with companies and respond to a few solicitations. There is alm…

> Not that their craft would die out, but it would be mutilated This is spot on, exactly how it felt for illustrators/designers. With disruptive technologies, the correct response …

So they've missed the innovation train due to regulation, and now they are likely to axe the side-effect benefit of said regulation.

> I love the idea of this but the mention of Hedy Lamarr could be confused as parody too Exactly, that was a bit puzzling.

Also because it’s mid :)

> Adobe seems to have gotten the memo though. So far Adobe AI tools are pretty useless, according to many professional illustrators. With Firefly you can use other (non-Adobe) imag…

Another one bites the dust.

But they did ironically also drive the value they offered towards zero in this case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
