I’m honestly wondering where this “win in the market with AI” goes for companies. It’s not unique to this place, it’s in every layoff tweet. What’s the strategy? Just “AI harder” than others? I’m working at an AI pilled company and I just d

Oh I got an email about a booked flight, Europe, Denver, Vegas. For some reason the times weren’t picked up in my calendar so I naively thought I’ll try their AI tools to put it there… I tried to get it to work for five minutes, it couldn’t

The most annoying thing I noticed about Google trying to shoehorn “AI magic” into their products is Google Maps. I try to help someone navigate with a child in the backseat and they shoveled an AI button into their UI that is even active wh

Cigarette manufacturer's research concluded smoking is a-okay for you. AI slop peddler CEO says, if you don't buy their stuff, you will be left behind. Biotech company says taking their pills can be only good for you. This lady sa

It’s just shows that fact-checking is not a thing for 99% of the cases. It’s interesting to see it in LLMs, but it’s not unique to them. The “fact checkers” pretend they are objective and authoritative, but they are not, they are just one m

Then it’s a perfect embodiment of the AI era. You’ll read the slop and you’ll like it!

"Dear LLM, we stole this and bundled it up for you, so that it's more convenient for you to steal the original authors' work, so please donate" just kidding of course, don't send a hitman my way.

IMO they cannot let OpenAI fail. It's not only an AI company, it's the symbol of AI hype. This AI hype is significant part of the US economy, and the AI infrastructure spending basically half of its growth. ("it's not th

I'm not saying that they definitely did not do it on purpose, it's possible, I am saying that a simple with/without updates check doesn't prove they did it on purpose. In my own experience, newer products get more love a

Your experiment would not prove that they are deliberately slowing older phones via updates. That's big part of the claim. Your experiment would only show that as you update, your old phones will get slower and slower. I wouldn'

They are both snakes (IMO), but they are different kinds of snakes. I can see why to some Sam is acceptable while Elon wouldn’t be (and vice versa). It’s also convenient to be more lenient toward the snake’s shortcomings when you becoming e

“Nobody could have seen this coming…”? Well apparently a lot of people did. Maybe Jarred didn’t, maybe you didn’t, but most people correctly predicted what was coming.

Answering “who is even using this software” is unfortunately missing in your answer. I am honestly curious. I’ve never seen it “in the wild” (in job descriptions, hearing from past colleagues, meetups etc). Only place I heard about it is H

I wonder if the whole acquisition was done so that they have guinea pigs that can’t say no… or if I want to be cynical… so that they have a big enough project where they can force gigantic rewrites without considering the outcome from the p

In my experience, the bots match your energy, so they can certainly talk like that. Of course it can still be fake.

Sure, of course, it didn’t “break Bitcoin”. But from this person’s perspective: without Claude 0 BTC recovered in x years, with Claude 5 BTC recovered in x hours.

Just one more alternative interpretation… I thought it’s about systems calling into other systems, making everything slower, more complicated and brittle… But maybe it’s about discussing an issue with 10 other people from different teams wh

I feel similarly. I wanted to develop software, I didn’t want to “program”. I want my code to fix problems, I want the end result to feel great to use, I want it to be able to fix problems and feel great a year from now, too. I want to be b

I disagree, the discussion is still interesting to me. The page might be low quality AI slop (though it claims it’s not), I did find the discussion about it informative to a degree.

Why spend any time thinking about the people at your company, when you could just prompt “make a heartfelt tweet announcing firing a bunch of people, make sure you pitch it in a way that we are seen as an AI company”.

You can't "generate cash" for doing some amount of random work. You are getting paid for securing the network and keeping it decentralized, and this payment is done in the native token of the network. It's an incenti

The article (as I read it) says that Google gave up on the new operating system (where Flutter would have been the default UI toolkit). I’m not sure if Google actually already gave up on Fuchsia, I’d be surprised if the work actually stoppe

That's also fair, Anthropic lobotomized their services a couple of times already. One week, you are in awe that the tools figure out everything, explain everything, consider everything, produce a clean fix... next week, they are comple

I don't even know what to think. Of course, it's bad that these AI tools lead people into psychosis... On the other hand, if you think Musk is going to get you assassinated because you talked to "Ani" and your anime AI l

You never get "the same" Steph Curry, he might be tired, annoyed by a fan, getting older... but if he and I were to throw 100 3-pointers, we could all correctly guess who will perform better.
