Reading/assigning intent to agents, where it is merely mechanical (or structural) sounds a bit dismissive of the responsibility of the builders of these tools/agents.

« Raising the bar » makes literally no sense, but only if you consider a tiny segment of activities within the arts that’s about consumption, promotion and purchase.

Cities being resilient is one thing. It won't contribute to make agriculture resilient.

For a very specific frame of time, and a very specific definition of "return". Looking back at history, most, if not all marvels of the world have been built without a ROI lens.

How would this make any sense or even stand in front of a judge?

Back in the days, the webring idea wasn’t driven by popularity groups and metrics but by affinity, from the perspective of authors. A ring was thematic, friends, interest.

Very bad UI choice on mobile. Next to unreadable.

Why should any be exclusive of the other? My take is that it is kind of exclusive today, because the economy is designed and limited against the ecology, but that's not a fundamental given. It comes down from the choice of humanity to

What is it actually? Is it giving status, or taste? Is it private or is it spying? Is it giving help in everyday life, that no other existing experience can replace? Is it a platform for developers to find a killer app? At this price level?

I understand the website doesn't address users first, but it really feels like a missed opportunity to show a typical, simple use case in the front page (as in, "as a user, what's in it for me?"). A quickstart link is bu

Evil has a motive (defensive or offensive). Stupidity has none. You can derail stupid towards something. Even de-stupid it. That does not work with motivated people, even less evil ones.

I'm sorry if that sounded disparaging. I totally get that face recognition is an issue for some. And that some tech may be of help with that. But if said tech implies putting everyone at risk (because the privacy is not properly implem

Privacy is a fundamental right, not the end of everything. And you axiomize progress. Although the question isn’t one against the other. It is whether progress justifies treating people as objects, as data providers without consent. That’s

Rules are all made up (as tech is) for the purpose of enabling society and lowering suffering. Who was harmed? Everyone whose private personal information have been leaked without consent. Who was harmed? Who have been manipulated into voti

Saying ja/oui to something, is saying nein/non to something else. If all you have is taking sides with what ought to be dismissed, or rather, discussed and controlled, rather than let alone wild at the expense of most people, that

How can we still believe in the trust idea when 1/ accidental leaks happen every single day and 2/ corporations do not even hide any more their intent and uses of the collected data? (Pokemon Go being the « funniest » recent one)

Comparing a natural ability to some kind of privacy-violating skill sounds a bit a hard sell. Kind of like selling hard won skills as some kind of gate keeping. Improving the quality of life of people cannot be done at the expense of the ba

Right, but PetSmart was an existing retailer that added e-commerce, not a startup burning VC money on an unproven model: the tech worked, the hype-driven bet didn't. GenAI has its uses. That it will transform everything for everyone, a

Market has the final say, not tech. If no one uses/buys the tech, as investor or customer... it won't feed anyone.

by Juliate 6mo ago
That's kind of proving my point here. E-commerce succeeded, but not in the form Pets and WebVan proposed, and not in the timeline their investors needed. The question is not: is it useful, but (as any investor asks): does this bet, at
