This is the biggest impact I have noticed in my job. The inundation of verbose, low SNR text and documents. Maybe someone put thought into all of those words. Maybe they vibed it into existence with a single prompt and it’s filled with irre

I think we all know they won’t. I am genuinely curious though to see the strategies they employ to absolve themselves of guilt and foolishness. Is there precedent for the entire exec and management class embracing a new trend to this kind o

My iPhone occasionally displays an interrupt screen to remind me that my weather app has been accessing my location in the background and to confirm continued access. It should also do something similar for apps making chatty background req

I agree. I’m on the $10 professional plan and honestly if I’d received an email offering this for an extra $5 per month it would have been a no brainer for me. Please Kagi, don’t take too much of a haircut or let paying for this eat into th

It’s the complete lack of profitability all the way down, from the deep Azure discounts, to OpenAI’s training and inference costing more than it brings in, to all the OpenAI API wrapper apps losing money on OpenAI subscriptions to get some

In this analogy are all the steamroller manufacturers loudly proclaiming how well it 10x the process of bulk ironing clothes? And is a credulous executive class en masse buying into that steam roller industry marketing and the demos of a ca
