Was mind-blowing then, for sure. Wonder if now in 2026, we’ve just been continuously splitting the cell on voxels instead of finding a better, more efficient way forward.

Wouldn’t it be better if everyone just had a floor plan?

Amazing, with all that it can do in 2D…

Totally agree with you. But there is still a steep learning curve with Blender. when 3d tools can become truly “user friendly“ the sky is no longer the limit.

Thumbs down. Great design is original thought. AI is wholly incapable of that.

Go ahead and roast me.

Still, images and even models could have some merit. Imagine handing this off to an elderly parent who insists they can figure out everything by themselves. Or being able to measure how to run wiring to a new switch (in my century home, the wiring is spaghetti behind the walls and ceiling)

Could be possible that the 10x devs working at 100x are just starting down the homestretch…

The 10x dev doesn’t just set out to build a hello world app, ya know.

Specialized collaborative browsers are indeed coming, but how can small teams compete to deliver them?

Nobody was surprised when Jeppsons got in on the hand sanitizer effort during COVID. Didn’t even have to change the recipe.

Yes, and it’d look like total crap. People eating NY slices, wearing Dolphins jerseys under palm trees in front of mountains.

With both Fox’s and Milano’s, I don’t know how anyone in Beverly/Morgan Park/EP doesn’t have pizza at least twice a week.

Good luck. The Malört is as bad as advertised.

South Shore Line ones, too…which may have also been WPA style. I should look that up…

Claude repeatedly insisted I give up on parsing a relatively vague object recently. When I got more specific, and pressed it to continue, not only did it work, but Claude seemed amazed. Ugh.

Totally agree.

It’s all the same to more than most people.

And I don’t think anyone’s going to switch to Anthropic because of ads. They’ll switch because it’s a better product.

Agreed, but seemed like it was only funny if you’re an AI power user.

Presumably the general population is more concerned about data privacy than ads (as part of a service). Seems like sowing distrust in any form is a bad move for everyone.
