Woah that sucks. Closed the tab when I saw the cartoonishly stupid, completely out of place smoking thermometer.

A music video is not (necessarily) a depiction of what the lyrics say at any moment. Soulless for sure.

The trope of vibe coded pages adding this slide-up transition on every paragraph needs to die yesterday.

At this point, the only "solution" is anti-compete legislation.

I do. There is quite the delta between a immense & sudden reservoir and a meandering river shifting its (otherwise similarly sized, and unintterrupted) bed over decades.

I'm not even touching on the human concerns regarding population displacement.

I don't understand those takes.

Open-weights perhaps, but definitely not self-hostable – since those require $20k+ capex – which is the real "step change" to me, as it ends the stranglehold providers have over censorship.

The only silver lining would be increased competition in API providers of those open-weight models leading to truly affordable prices and a race to remove stupid "safety" checks.

The concrete is a small part of the problem. Flooding gigantic areas and stopping the natural water flow have serious consequences for widelife, but most people don't care enough.

Not great. The inpainted areas are, as usual, very smooth compared to the detailed, "high frequency" look of natural photos.

Barely useful enough to erase things in thumbnails.

Ah yes, clearly the one thing I want from my favorite projects is for them to embrace AI coding and immediately deskill such that their value-add or passion for the craft evaporates in the next 3 months.

It has all the tells. There are websites which list them, please search "LLM tropes".

So annoying to read. Meanwhile, the key information ("backup key with higher priority") is mentioned in a sentence without any kind of elaboration or link to some follow-up/how-to.

The world can't run on random philanthropy. You don't become a billionaire through hard work alone but through exploitation at scale.

Tax the richs, or eat them.

I realize you're being witty for comedic effect but aren't you genuinely curious whether this was something trivial or a complex systems interaction? The few times an LLM debugged something for me, it only took 10s to ask for a summary, and I learned something new and interesting every time, even useful at times.

I don't understand not wanting to understand.

I've had so few issues with Linux compared to Windows over the past 10y. This is a ridiculous and dated take.

Even stuff that was truly a no-go is fixed (nvidia/cuda, wine/proton for gaming).
