@kyle@mister.computer I see. I wonder if this is actually American-GenX? I honestly didn’t think this was edgy or hypocritical? If you’d asked me to generationalise it, i’d have picked late-stage millennial given the office reference being distinctly millennial, vs any other generation?

Tired: “Dogfooding”: Using the software you work on with unbridled happiness and glee, no consideration what it is Wired: “Catfooding”: Looking at the software and saying “Fuck that shit. I ain’t using that”, and then going for a nap.

@atpfm@mastodon.social the discussion of ads and how it slowly creeps deep into the way companies think reminds me of this blog (that I writes; #biased) https://www.codevoid.net/ruminations/2025/02/23/the-first-hit-is-free.html

@kyle 💯 Sure, apps/software will still have UI (people like touching things). But the robots won’t talk to it that way. It’s hilariously lossy.

@finnvoorhees@mastodon.social does it drive by image only or is it also bringing in the acc tree, and then invoking via the acc tree?

@mattiem @kyle @jordanmorgan if you can generate a binary from a prompt directly, abstractions don’t matter because you can just generate it every time! and who needs language guardrails when you can generate a binary directly?

Replying to @saagar@federated.saagarjha.com
@saagar@federated.saagarjha.com it’s not just apple. every tech company is now writing the docs they should have written a decade ago for other humans, but they had no respect for their fellow meat bag. But the thinking sand — we will move heaven & hell to make that happen. (yes, i’m bitter about this particular part)

@lwdupont@mastodon.social @fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe Interesting. I rebooted and it persisted -- different orientation of the screen etc. Very odd.

@bert_hubert@eupolicy.social is there a good tl;dr backgrounder or english-language dutch news site I can follow to understand this? Is this cause for concern if one is traveling to the netherlands soon?

@Susan_calvin@mastodon.social @mrchrisadams@mastodon.social I mean, sure, but… I just want to try it out. And then be able to recommend it to others if it’s good. Even in france you have to have a job to be able to use this — which feels weird?

@never_released @Migueldeicaza it feels like this financial situation is not… uncommon? historically in Argentina. Is it just one never ending cycle that it can’t quite break free of? Or something more structural?

@twilliability@genart.social It’d be really interesting to have the bot auto-split longer-than-toot-length articles into a thread w/ images.
