I agree with you. Having lost a close family member to cancer over a period of years, the only regret I have is not trying more to improve her quality of life for as long as I could. Putting in effort to understand the diagnosis is warranted, but there are no miracle cures, even if there are miracles sometimes.

Precisely. Figuring out what the specification is supposed to look like is often the hardest part.

100% agreed i use Claude often to just bounce ideas back and forth on specs i would like to create which I know will never gain traction because its either way too ambitious or too niche.

And the amount of times Claude proposes something thats completely contradictory in the same response. Or completely does a 180 after two more responses. Is ridiculous.

I feel like the use of the term "anti-AI hype" is not really fully explored here. Even limiting myself to tech-related applications - I'm frankly sick of companies trying to shove half-baked "AI features" down my throat, and the enshittification of services that ensues. That has little to do with using LLMs as coding assistants, and yet I think it is still an essential part of the "anti-AI hype".

The dreaded summarize feature, its in places you wouldn't expect, and not to mention the whole lets record every meeting and then summarize it for leaders. Big Brother in work is back and its even more powerful.

You see, now they can market the tool as AI-powered! I‘m sure the sales department is overjoyed.

I agree. As a frequent reviewer on Goodreads, this feels really icky.

You are right.

At the same time, everything you ever posted online has already been scraped by hundreds (maybe thousands) of entities and distributed/sold to countless other entities. The only difference is that OP shared his project here.

The issue is not even so much generating fake videos as creating plausible deniability. Now everything can be questioned for the pure reason of seeming AI-generated.

Do people really want that? I feel like what often makes a game good is a tight experience, not added bloat.

It depends on how it’s implemented. Maybe you could train mmo npcs in this and make it fun but I agree I expect this to simply generate a dumpster fire experience

I was recently on a Norwegian.com flight and they boarded both in the front (using a jet bridge) and at the back (using stairs)

I haven't seen that in years. I think it was 727s used to do that pre-jet bridges. But I guess some models in some airports can still do that.

I'd like to add that there are different flavours of both capitalism and socialism. The kind of disaster capitalism practiced in Russia and other former Soviet Union countries in the 90s certainly didn't lead to an improvement of living standards for quite a long time, if even. China also presents a case of state capitalism where companies are strictly controlled by the government as evidenced by the recent set of regulations published a few weeks ago and many companies are owned by the children of party members.

Considering the environmental impact of the US economy and its policies is important in its own right, but applying that to the dollar is a stretch in my opinion. Also, the dollar is not the only traditional currency in the world.
