    I'm finding that AI is only fun for people with limitless savings or retirement funds. When you have nothing to worry about, and you can create anything you want, at any expense, o…

    The only reason I'm public and use my real name in some social media contexts is for career exposure, so I can discuss my profession with others in hopes that it interests someone …

    Yep, and the alternative is simply ignoring the bad behavior and forgetting about it only minutes later. I've walked away from so many online conversations by simply not replying, …

    Half the issue is, people need to acquire the same wisdom about cybersecurity hygiene as they do looking both ways before crossing the street, but even that's too much to ask for s…

    I totally agree they're easy to dismiss and start to feel cumbersome, but if "protecting users" is their actual motive (I doubt it), this would be a reasonable way to handle it whi…

    Then maybe the best course of action is Google adding a warning before enabling certain settings that help normies avoid these attacks. Along the lines of "Are you being asked to d…

    This does absolutely nothing to compensate the authors whose content was stolen by AI companies.

    Their move to ColorOS away from the fully customized stock Android experience with OxygenOS was the nail in the coffin for me. The overall experience turned terrible, and so many a…

    Bun's migration to Rust was nothing more than a marketing stunt to sell more Claude subs under the impression it can perform this kind of work at scale, assuming that most who were…

    Surely not likely at all for a gaming desktop that's going nowhere in my home. For business users with notebooks who fly around a lot or spend time in coffee shops, it's possible.

    Quote: "This line of thinking boils down to, “Humans are valuable if they produce high-quality output.” This argument dangerously depends on the existing-but-narrowing human-AI cap…

    This is pure cinema. I'm glad he's using his platform to call this out, it's rampant! I usually just toggle Firefox's reading mode whenever a dickover like this pops up and they ma…

    So, has it replaced the entire startup yet?

    (This man hasn't seen a hyperbolic exaggeration before) It's alright, I forgive you :D In truth though, the repo is approaching 100k stars and bun has over 7 million monthly downlo…

    I hate to say this, but this reeks of "We're owned by Anthropic now and we were put to task to prove Claude Opus as the ultimate AI model, so we were forced to do a full port of so…

    Judging by Anthropic's track record for sloppy, buggy software, I can't see this taking off quite as well as people might think, when compared to Figma and its captive customer bas…
