Secure Scuttlebutt was a fun implementation of this, but the project is all but dead with Staltz working for Bsky and the other maintainers moving on.

Why people feel the need to overload terms like "datasette" I'll never know

Do not confuse curiosity and caring for extremism.

If someone said they pick up trash on the side of the road to help the environment you wouldn't say the logical conclusion of their ideology would be that they become the unabomber

Relying on users to use an LLM to generate their own docs presupposes that the users have a Claude subscription or whatever. That sucks imo

So if they say "idk Claude did it", what would you write in the PR review box?

Art is definitely being devalued by AI, today. I'm sure Banksy is fine but artists along the margins are competing with genAI

To your other point, skill retention is important for me, the person typing this, because we live in a society where if I don't develop my skills I become unemployed and die in a ditch

I anticipate that heavily using AI to do the dev work for you for a few years could very well be worse than just taking the years off, since you're training your brain that you can just reach for the AI

If you can't see greed in the LLM sphere you are not looking very hard.

LLM content is so exasperating to read, it always reads like a student trying to pad out their paper, or like a press release with no details

large language models do not have pigeon-level intelligence. They can't even feed themselves.

What time is AI going to free up for me? Can AI go to the grocery store for me, do my laundry, do my dishes? Can it let me clock out early? The spoils of AI do not go to individuals
