thinking of kids mainly as a way to keep yourself, or your wife, busy, or as a way to make your own friends, seems gross.

at what point does life just stop because there’s too many crises

multiple trump-created crises converging with deadly results.

this is more showing their true colors + moving right as the crisis in capitalism widens. They aren’t going so far left they become right - they’re just going further right. To go further left would be to emphasize class/economics, not obfuscate via race baiting like a segregationist like this.

This stuff gives fodder to ideas like that intelligence agencies must have been involved - and that this goes all the way up. How do you close this box? It’s the cancer that won’t stop spreading

Very interesting. Time saved on layout seems like a high ROI - very much so at scale. Makes me wonder how a support wiki, customer service responses, and user manuals (online and print) could all be maintained, and iterated on together with something like that.

Indesign is less attractive now lol.

Interesting application for this aside from art and games might be user or warranty manuals for physical products - seems like you could maintain physical and online info in one place in an efficient way where periodic printings would always be up to date with the latest edits/feedback.

No one thinks you’re a bad guy, and you’ve probably got good intentions, but a murder happened today and you’re making it your mission to tell people that they’re wrong for wanting and demanding change as soon as possible. It’s gross for you. It’s gross to see and it’s offensive.

We’re doing you a favor spending time trying to help you understand why you’re not coming across or communicating the way you want to be. But no one is going to spend time forever trying to help you realize and grow and you’re gonna be bitter if you blame others.

Just please try to accept you’re wrong. In reality, all of this could stop tomorrow or next week, if we decided. You think you’re being mature and informed but you’re building assumptions into your thinking, building liberal excuses into your thinking. No one is interested. Not today.

it’s wild that what you’re doing with your time is so dumb and counter productive that it’s indistinguishable from a bot farm or fedop

It’s really just enshitification - but the pinch will hit legacy and midsize firms, consolidate more to big tech, bundling services like cable but with a Bell telephone monopoly and lack of regulation - grim. For Monday-types with new bloat - best case is same rate of profit - in a stable world.

If everything goes up 18% and they all have the same assistant from Gemini or OpenAI in different wrappers - why tolerate your existing providers preexisting broken features/poor support/poor design - etc. when you could switch for better alignment or consolidate with google workspace or teams?

There’s no way if a business is on the verge of switching or consolidating services that they won’t be so as the actual costs of AI try to get passed onto the end users. Some companies got taken for rides and will die when this friction proves off the shelf AI can’t be a true competitive advantage.

You’ve heard of inflation, shrinkflation, tariff caused inflation, price gouging - but what about AI-inflation?

Regardless of value added - this bloat will drive up costs of all SaaS. Soon rippling to dependent businesses and the wider economy. AI will directly be a drain on everything else now.

liberal interpretations of revolutionary history can’t arrive at the right answer so they always end up waffling around for alternatives. even if they’re loosely about adventurists (weather underground) who its easy to see are wrong they can’t understand the motives or the lessons.

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.
