<p>I didn't have the words to explain to my mother why those AI health/advice/story/etc videos she shares are harmful.<p>> While a liar displays an underlying respect for the truth in the very act of intentionally distorting it, “the essence of bullshit”, Frankfurt writes “is not that it is false but that it is phony.” For Frankfurt, then, bullshit, is discourse from which incidental matters like truth and reality have been completely hollowed out and replaced by performance and simulation.<p>She would often say "but I happen to know that some the underlying information is true." The answer is the videos are phony, even when part of it happens to be true.</p>

<p>The agent starts a phone call, listens to the person on the line, analyzes which fraud bucket they fall into, and start the process.<p>While they are on the phone with the agent, it buys a domain relevant to the victim, the agent codes and deploy the website specially catered to them and the fraud bucket. Collect payment, destroy the website, redirect the domain to google.com. no need to start a new call because you had several agents committing the same fraud in parallel.<p>It can also be used to make art.</p>

<p>Yep, I'm experiencing the same thing. The occasional big hit from reddit or HN, then RSS. I've seen a surge of RSS when Karpathy included my website on his top hn blogs to read.<p>From Google search I get around 30-60 click a day. Some Rss readers display the total number of subscribers, it totals ~2000 currently. Then the rss readers from user devices have 10k unique ips.<p>Sometimes my blog appears dead, until I post the wrong thing: <a href="https://xkcd.com/386/" rel="nofollow">https://xkcd.com/386/</a></p>

<p>"you will all lose your jobs and it will wipe out half of humanity."<p>If you lead with this, people will stop questioning why their sprint velocity hasn't increased 10 fold. Managers start asking leads, instead of hiring more devs can we add Agent.md to our repos?<p>The Apocalypse sells. They are afraid that you'll find out that AI is just another useful tool. That's the real threat, not to humanity, but to their hype.<p>Edit: i made a video about this recently: <a href="https://youtu.be/nB0Vz-fh8EI" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/nB0Vz-fh8EI</a></p>

<p>Everybody's output is someone else's input. When you generate quantity by using an LLM, the other person uses an LLM to parse it and generate their own output from their input. When the very last consumer of the product complains, no one can figure out which part went wrong.</p>

<p>The language in the article would be fascinating if it wasn't such a horrible thing.<p>It's not that the Israeli soldiers are sexually assaulting Palestinians, instead they are using Sexual Assault.<p>Later they say "Sexualised violence is used...", "men and boys were Targeted..."<p>It's like there is a gun shooting people, or someone using a gun. But we can't connect fully understand how or who is perpetuating it.<p>Edit: some more:<p>"Israeli soldiers present during abuse had repeatedly failed to prevent it..." Who was abusing?</p>

<p>I've been using stich from Gemini, and just plain zAi for helping redesign my website. You can use the generated code to copy and paste the design to fit your own templates, but that's a pain. Unless you are ok with using tailwind and the dozen or so classes on every element and don't want to edit anything.<p>What I found valuable is the design.md that was produced. It's a guide for building each component. So using these tools becomes akin to PSD to html we used do. At least that's when I find them most effective.</p>

<p>Ok, you can start with LinkedIn, I'll wait...<p>If you are wondering how it works. You get a link from LinkedIn, it's from an email or just a post someone shared. You click on it, the URL loads, and you read the post. When you click the back button, you aren't taken back to wherever you came from. Instead, your LinkedIn feed loads.<p>How did it happen? When you landed on the first link, the URL is replaced with the homepage first (location.replace(...) doesn't change the browser history). Then the browser history state is pushed to the original link. So it seems like you landed on the home page first then you clicked on a link. When you click the back button, you are taken back to the homepage where your feed entices you to stay longer on LinkedIn.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what the expectations is supposed to be. Is Google supposed to have 100% adoption rate? Even OpenAI and Anthropic don't have that.<p>I have managers asking similar things at work: how can we increase AI adoption in dev teams? Why though? How does it benefit the manager? How can we increase the vim adoption rate for dev teams?<p>Google has thousands of mature products. You don't just throw a single solution (AI) to all problems.</p>
