There are many "right" ways to read my comment. Reading it says more about reader than the writer.

And yes, most probably I violated some spoken/unspoken rules and ready to bear consequences.

Common sense abotu security has shifted significantly. You're (me including) with out common sense of security are in minority today. We're uncommon. Wait till people start questioning such stance.

I just was reading docs on plugin for toddlywiki which makes gives it multiuser support and lan accessibility. The level of awarness of the risks of opening your tw server (i't like 5-ish years ago) to LAN is almost read like a satire from where we're today.

> If we think of human emotions the same way, just evolution's way of nudging behavior

What are other alternative, realistic possible ways to see emotions?

Do you have examples of such occasions when the linkedin post was actually the cause?

What a great project idea, worth getting it clients. That's why I've build a platform for promoting young startapers to find theit niche audience. Give it a try and go to the moon!

I see in this story organisational boundaries between teams. Teams which don't have common coordination space (or used for something more __important__). Responsible people don't care enough to mitigate such deviations earlier

New comment by podgorniy in "If you thought code writing speed was your problem you have bigger problems"

Yeah, we again have a solution (LLMs) in search of problems.

Proper approach to speeding things up would be to ask "What are the limiting factors which stops us from X, Y, Z".

This situation of management expecting things to become fast because of AI is "vibe management". Why to think, why to understand, why to talk to your people if you saw an excited presentation of the magic tool and the only thing you need to do is to adopt it?..

What if they pay own bills (why is this even a subject of discussion?), increase supply (formally), but electricity prices still go up anyway? Just curios if scenario from my descrition even possible...

React popularity is also a phenomenon closely tied to popularity of the fb

What is nature of money invested?

What is mechanism of getting returns?

We are obviously dying. What's the point of doing anything in between now and the last moment? What goal of people who think that doing anything will make any impact?

Some people do that as a symbolic action. Some to keep own terms as much as they can. Some hope their actions will join others actions and will turn into a signal for decision makers. For others this action reduces the area of their exposure. Others believe in something and just follow their beliefs.

BTW following own set of beliefs is what you're (we all) doing here. You believe that surveillance is already happening and nothing can be done about it, that single action does not matter, that there are no other reasons for action other than direct visible impact, etc. Seems that you analyze others through own set of beliefs and it can not explain actions of others. This inability to explain others suggests that the whole model is flawed in some way. So what is the nature of your beliefs? Did you choose them or they were presented you without alternatives? What are alternatives then? Do these beliefs serve your interests or others?

Poor poor those typography-savvy people who did set a special keyboard in order to type "proper" dashes. I know you are there, I know your pain.

Co-ownership of the hardware is a social not technical problem. Think of questions of trust, responsibility, who has power, who and how contributes, how decisions are made, etc, etc

I do the same. I also cross-ask gemini and claude about the plan during iterations, sometimes make several separate plans.

These words may mean anything. From "get people extinct" to "make shit ton of money" for myself.

What we know for sure he is not commited to people who trusted him or his project. Consider the project dead. He kinda fits into openai mindset: those people also say right words, use right terms, and do what benefits them personally.

It's another game where software quality, security of novelty is not an outcome-defining factor.

This is all about PR now.

openclaw is inevitable type of software (as cli agents, as context-management software, as new methodologies of structuring sofware for easier AI ingestion, etc). Guy gamed, built it, guy got it.

At this point I would not expect well-rounded software as a byproduct of huge investments and PR stunts. There will be something else after LLMs, I bet people are already working on it. But current state of affairs of LLMs and all the fuss aroud them is way more peceptive, PR and emotion driven than containing intristic value.
