I support this. I also support No GenAI every day ending in a Y, but I support this, too.

Because the negative externalities of GenAI are great enough that the majority will soon recognize them and demand action. But I don't expect that to slow down any of the main drivers for now. Some have too much invested monetarily and

Are you trying to dismiss Flock and the like as not worthy of outrage?

The industry needs to come to grips with the fact that many, many people either have no use for or actively despise GenAI.

Yeah, exactly. Who can expect smol bean Meta to not act like rapacious vultures when all the other social media corporations get to?

Raises or asks, not begs, but in response: no friends. AI is not capable of being my friend, as it doesn't pass the first, most basic requirement: it isn't a person. Would I welcome more people into my life as friends? Sure. But w

A website being used in a web browser seems to you like an edge case?! Really? If that's really a common view, we really did lose the plot.

You might well end up being right, but if you are, I believe it'll be because "most developers" will have become worse at programming, not because GenAI has become massively better.

And many people find it depressing getting going in the morning when it's still dark. Plus, in Winter most people at best get off work around dusk anyway. In addition, most studies indicate health benefits for standard time relative to

As usual, when Congress finally moves to address an issue, they manage to do it in the stupidest possible way. Permanent Standard Time is the better choice in nearly every way.

I'm not personally, since I don't use GenAI at all. Especially given the comments I see here and on other tech and programming forums, I hate the direction things are going. I still have some hope this will all fade, but the damag

That would be amazing. Ubiquitous infinite scroll is one of the things I hate most about "modern" UI design.

Send these teachers to remedial courses in game theory and statistics, please. What if less that 20% of the class do "exceptional" work? What if more do? Those pushing this either haven't thought it through, or simply want to

Upvoted because you've captured the overall point pretty well, but I will say that the Flying V can be pretty dang comfortable seated if you hold in the classical position (i.e., resting on your fretting side thigh). I almost always pl

If it isn't possible to turn any syntax highlighting an the like off, I will personally look for alternatives. Not reconfigure individual settings, turn off syntax highlighting all together. It's not about style for me, it's

To do better? It's demonstrably possible. And further, why does what some portion of Microsoft, a huge, multi-headed beast, does qualify as the bar for what is reasonable for users to expect?

Huh. Haven't experienced that myself, having used a Master MX for several years (now in use by my wife), a VX Revolution for a few years before that (now my son's backpack mouse), and a Master MX Vertical most recently. My son has

Nope. We need to bring the entire extraction class to heel. They are degrading, even destroying, society.

Who is "we", Kimosabe? Personally, I have no time for gen-AI in pretty much any context, at least given the current landscape. And plenty of people seem to accept, if not love, gen-AI art. I don't get it, but it's true
