I know everyone hates ads or whatever, but why would anyone make content on their own website anymore if google and the browser are doing everything in their power to keep your users from interacting with your own page. Also I don't want to hear the crap about ads being too invasive, its their content, they can do that if they want, and you can not have access to their content. They have to be able to monetize the pa…

This point naturally leads to a more general discussion. If AI can do everything and gets everyone out of jobs, who is going to consume the ‘everything’ produced by AI for someone to pay for the AI? I don’t think UBI is a real solution, it’s too hand wavy.

Where you see a problem, I see an opportunity.

The obvious solution is an AI consumer, duuuuh!

The dollar must flow. The dollar is life.

my most commonly repeated prompt; would be nice if the baked it into the tool itself: "No emojis. be concise. no suggestions unless I explicitly ask for them. answer questions like the machine you are. Don't try and add personality or humour; remember you're a robot."

lol I once used a similar “you’re a machine so just do as you’re told” to a prompt and it answered back: “I’m not a machine, I’m Claude a helpful assistant” and refused to do what I asked because it claimed I didn’t have the authority to make the decision I’d asked it to convey in writing.

My prompt collection lives in three different places right now — Raycast snippets, Apple Notes, and a Notion page that keeps growing. I know I wrote a good one for my git commit/push flow somewhere, but finding it when I need it usually takes longer than just rewriting it. The browser approach makes sense for Claude code and ChatGPT. I wonder how well it holds up once you have 50+ prompts though — finding the right o…

I know this was just an example, but:

This is actually a really good use case for a skill. Then when you go "commit and push" it'll do the right thing

UBI feels like a natural solution to what I assume is a ubiquitous problem in the workforce: A certain percentage of people are absolutely worthless in their job, and everyone would be better off if we just paid those people to stay home.

Even if you’re competent and useful, work is an incredible sacrifice. Perhaps only 10% of workers (the most unattached and lacking in obligations) would voluntarily work. For example for parents there are only a litany of bad choices available. If UBI is offered, why would most people suffer through their work sacrifices.

These days announcements like this just make me want to put on my tinfoil hat - what's in it for Google, though? Why make it more convenient for people to submit webpages to you?

Lots of people are flocking to Claude and ChatGPT -- and making Gemini more useful in the browser everyone already has makes a lot of sense. More Google use, more data they gather, more ads they can show you

To chatgpt? Claude I believe, but chat?
