I think it's too late for that. For new projects? Of course.

>I see what you're getting at, but CSS is as much an open standard as the law

That's the thing, Tailwind is a layer on top of that to ease development, but almost all web development using LLMs is using Tailwind, not CSS.

I mean, they wanted to put "AI" on everything, knowing "AI" is not AI. Could "there is no such thing as bad publicity" apply here? At least they're trending, don't they?

I go even further: I only use the website. If I want to add or modify something, I go to my profile and do it. I only used 2 social network apps, and they are mostly for news and to check on tech people I follow.

I love it. This needs to be on the front page of every newspaper, hehe. I don't care if you're a republican or a democrat, anyone going that way deserves everything they get.

Interesting. I agree with you that consumers prioritize price over morality, but not when their livelihood is directly or indirectly negatively affected by AI, and the people are starting to notice it.

Hehe. People have "AI" fatigue (I'll include myself there, too), not only because AI content "feels" soulless, but also because the looming job displacement narrative, exacerbated by CEOs, VCs, etc. There'll be a big consumer pushback against companies using AI to lay off employees, etc

Could anyone please explain how this is "news" worthy? There are literally more pressing issues (inflation, wars, etc), and covering this is asinine, to say the least.

That part was a joke to illustrate the point.

Google needs to pace themselves. AI studio, Antigravity, Banana, Banana Pro, Grape Ultra, Gemini 3, etc. This information overload don't do them any good whatsoever.

AGI? Absolutely. If your country gets there, would anyone relinquish that type of power and knowledge?

Tbh, the answer is simple: if we truly get AGI, the government would nationalize it because it's a matter of national security and prosperity for that matter. Everything will change forever. Agriculture, Transportation, Health... Breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough. The country would hold the actual key to solve almost any problem.

Third option: no bailouts of any type. Don't socialize losses. The board resets itself again, and let entrepreneurs, small businesses flourish again.

This. I don't think it'll move the needle. I already use vscode with copilot and it's "good enough".

I mean, he bought low and now he's selling when the stock is high. What else can we expect?
