I didn't stretch my imagination at all, that's why I asked :)

What were X, Y and Z? This feels like "missing missing reasons"

To be reductive about the example of a malleable task tracker (e.g. Notion), if the LLM correctly interprets the user's prompt, there's about 20-30 useful buttons in the interface,…

What do you think incentivized the mass production this "slop"? Why do you think LLMs will end the incentives to continue creating it?

> Well, can you think of any reason why those young women didn't want to consider and understand the "opposing view"? consider and understand =/= agree and support. Regardless of t…

I remember reading GEB and being shocked that he never mentions Lisp. He _does_ wade into CompSci topics, but it's something half-hearted about how compilers are programs that read…

The syntax leaves a bad first impression. I'm getting flashbacks to Java EE/JAX-RS days.

Is there any modern hardware that doesn't have privacy issues?

Shoutouts to Metal Gear Solid 2, not much else left to say here.

yaaaaawn

> I was still caught a bit off guard. What about that high-priority project I was helping to lead? What about the training I was scheduled to deliver? What about the offsite next m…

Almost everyone in the United States, unfortunately.

Unfortunately for Sam Altman, an LLM will never produce anything half as funny as a bunch of rich VC guys calling a "politics expert" to tell them who to vote for. The human spirit…

Valve is a private company, and therefore much less susceptible to enshittification, at least in theory. That's bound to come crashing down when GabeN retires, though.

Whenever I open the Epic Store, I'm in disbelief that the company behind Unreal Engine is okay with having such a sluggish piece of software. It has a fraction of a fraction of Ste…

I listen to this a few times year, cheers me up everytime

Might be worth taking a step back and considering how people like Peterson and Weinstein become public intellectuals in the first place.

Hey, if anyone's gonna do it, my bet is on the company that revived Battletoads ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Regardless of that product, how long was he making bad decisions before he was replaced? If it's less than two years, are you hiring? :)

If by "normal" you mean "reasonable", then you're right. If you mean "common", then try working at a large publicly-traded company for a few years. I agree that this stance doesn't…

> ES6 classes make your code look amazingly compact and clean. You can add variables, methods, getters, setters, and async methods with the cute and short syntax. Huh, I didn't kno…

I try to use open-source wherever I can, but Bitwarden's UX just can't compete with 1Password or even LastPass. The Firefox extension in particular is pretty wonky.
