We need a new one: "Where someone is using a vibe-coded internal tool made by the creative department that keeps needing bug fixes, there's a start up waiting to happen."

This project is not clever, interesting, insightful, or beneficial to humanity in any way, save to remind us of what world we are slowly creating by our continued insistence that AI is a good thing.

Exactly. People are getting so excited that all this stuff is possible, and forgetting that we are burning through innumerable finite resources just to prove something is possible. They were too concerned with whether or not they could, the

I can't believe that in the face of all the other problems facing humanity, we are allowing any amount of resources to be spent on this. I cannot even see this justifiable under the guise of entertainment. It is beneath our human digni

Do they have microphones inside the car? How do you know? That "feeling" of privacy probably encourages people to talk more openly, which if there are microphones inside...

The phrase "dog whistle" is also itself a dog whistle that signals where you stand on discussing particular issues in the open.

The proof is that humans do it all the time and that you do it inside your head as well. People need to stop with this absurd level of rampant skepticism that makes them doubt their own basic functions.

Companies more likely to want to save money on labor costs (employing many h1bs) are also likely to want to save money on Tooling costs, by using safe options like MSFT stuff, rather than finding better tools. Also yes, due to availability

Has anybody tried "driving" for one of these companies using GPS spoofing? You could fake the location of your phone. I suppose it'd only work a few times before the number of reports gets you banned, but I wonder whether on

Yes. People do not want to give up some finite freedoms in exchange for preserving their lineage. This is a very modern and sad problem and the source of so much angst of the middle aged. But of course, most people are too hedonistic and se

People used to criticise Wikipedia for being bad due to being crowdsourced (at least in school they did). Now, Wikipedia looks like one of the best antidotes to LLMs.

I wonder how much of Wikipedia has been contributed to using AI by now. Almost makes me want to keep a 2023 snapshot of Wikipedia in cold storage.

Perversely, this may make many companies no longer invest in this type of cyber security software. Which may lead to a whole host of other problems...

Surely this was heavily inspired by Runescape? The click to move (including cursor animation on click), camera angles and graphics, chat text colour and position etc. all give me huge Runescape (Old School Runescape) vibes. Congrats on laun

So true. Black market snapshots of pre-LLM internet archives will start attracting high prices.

Wait so, the Internet Archive was not involved at all in finding the original, but since the image exists in the archive, IA have written a blog post claiming to be crucial to its discovery? Seems like taking credit for something they didn&

This is why Signal needs to decentralise. There is no such thing as "leaving the EU market" if it can obtained from anywhere on the internet. The EU has shot itself in the foot with demanding alternate app store exist, and then Si
