And my og comment getting downvoted on this very intellectual forum that definitely isn't an echo chamber

What? Big tech company is evil? No way! I thought cloudflare were good guys...

I've always been confident in the ability of the US institutions to correct the mistakes being made, great to see an end to this ridiculous DOGE situation.

New comment by kykat in "A web page that shows you everything the browser told it without asking"

Visiting without JS: "With JavaScript off, the page cannot tell you what your browser disclosed. The data is still there. The disclosure still happened. Only the telling of it stops."

I find this hyper dramatic LLM language extremely off putting, but appreciate the signal that allows me to completely disregard it.

It's all just a sado maso power game.

I say that we should fully support all AI initiatives and stop giving advice. Tell them AI will make them rich and that they won't have to care about anybody, and just wait to see what happens.

kykat — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:36:57 +0000

I haven't used transcription, but in a similar way, I think DeepL translation got worse. Now it always makes the translation more formal, "professional", and gives everything the "LLM voice".

That was a really weird sentence that makes no sense, since when is an on demand "elite researcher" nothing? While the article appears to dismiss this model, it ends up giving it a very high praise.

New comment by kykat in "Working with agents doesn't feel like flow"

kykat — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:18:45 +0000

Haven't read the page, but working with agents is like playing a visual novel game, but with random delays and slowdowns added. You just, wait, consume and do a choice. It's a passive activity. It also has gambling elements, because what happens next is random, and nobody really knows what the result will be, this often makes people spend way more time then planned/expected with agents when things don't work immediately magically.

According to the test, I'm completely normal, are you perhaps the autistic one? Or is the test bullshit?

It's obvious Claude slop, a stupid meme for people who want to think they are special

kykat — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 13:43:13 +0000

AI slop, absolutely meaningless, don't take it seriously.

Btw I tested neither, 30% each; "the controll group". So I am formally authorized to criticise the page as a perfectly normal person.
