Yep - better off redacting the great efficiencies we’re doing.

Before it was social “media” Facebook was a great way to see friends & families updates in a chronological way with very little clutter. Then people began soapboxing, then came the ads, then all the random “interests” they assign to you and it’s completely useless now.

TikTok, IG etc are a little different as they’re actually media streams but I wanted to say that about Facebook - give me what I want on Facebook and it would be a wonderful service.

I made a little script that takes all images in a folder and formats them for my digital photo frame. It knows which have a converted file in the dest and skips them.

And you can certainly tell it the flow you want (and any other constraints) in the prompt.

Marketing isnt marketing in the traditional sense any more, it’s just deceptive stuff to make you buy more

Because we must get what the tech overlords want us to get, not what we want to get.

I got 6 out of 9 and haven’t lived there in 10 years. Felt some nostalgia hearing some of them though!!!

So many sites.. they’re all built as web apps these days when they don’t need to be. And they’re all full of tracking and “telemetry”……..

ssss11 — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 09:27:59 +0000

I wrote a webrtc chat prototype once that used a blockchain contract for the offer/response.

It was cool but a little slow and I moved onto other side projects.

No you need morals. Especially those fortunate enough to be hired by a leading company like OAI - they would be desired by any tech company.

Me too. I couldn’t build an app that I hope to publish with the $20 plan. The sunk cost will either be reaped back once live, or it’s truly sunk and I’ll move on…..

Just like every other discussion about private data violation - the issue is aggregation not one data point.

But we all know what will happen, it’s the human condition of greed. The wealthy will control everything, governments will be no help, and all the newly unemployed will be in dire situations.

So while you’ve identified the real problem we need to identify a realistic solution.

I’m not sure of the forum where they exchange and align on goals and approaches, it probably exists in some forms, but ultimately I think it’s CEO’s not wanting to be too far from the pack.

If you make the wrong call on one important thing and everyone else is right, your company is f_cked.
