  • In the mean time, sites are getting DDOS-ed by scrapers. One way to stop your site from getting scraped is having it be inaccessible... which is what the scalpers are causing.

    Normally I would assume DDOS-ing is performed in order to take a site offline. But ai-scalpers require the opposite. They need their targets online and willing. One would think they'd be a bit more careful about the damage they cause.

    But they aren't, because capitalism.

  • Am I just dumb, or is this common practice among corporations? Shell companies are used for all kinds of purposes, including shady ones.

  • Could indoor lights power solar-powered indoor lights?

  • Oh, it gets worse. I watched a TED talk once in which a researcher explained how a conversation was reconstructed from the mirror image projected through a window, of the vibrations of the metal foil of a potato chips wrapper that laid on the floor in the same room where the conversation was being held out of sight. Can't make this stuff up.

  • Yet another company rolling over to please the Lord. And people wonder how Germans so easily rolled into nazism?

  • It does expose quality assurance problems. Products shouldn't be defective out of the box. It happens: you send it back and get it replaced. But the reputation is damaged already.

  • Oh, here's an idea: treat people well.

  • Or... what? Is Japan going to ban Apple products? Good luck!

  • Hot take: those meetings are production value. They are work. Otherwise middle management would have replaced themselves with AI.

  • That's one way to bring back the times of old. If the masses can't afford compute power, how will they learn that their leader is lying to them?

  • Warren? The politician who refused to return the funding received from falsely claiming an educational chair position meant for Native Americans? That Warren?

  • I'll never buy anything Apple again as long as they continue to support nazis and fascists.

  • My kids identified that all their school work constantly gets flagged as AI-generated – which is to be expected given the material those LLMs are given as training.

  • Will your games eventually support mobile-first concepts? I've tried the first handful of your framagames offerings and none of them work on a mobile phone. If that is indicative of your overall work, I fear the only users you'll attract will be staunch keyboard and desktop users. While that was the norm 20 years ago when you started, the landscape has changed. Today, most users' primary and only compute device is their mobile phone. Please consider expanding your reach and accommodating the needs of today's audience.

    Try 25 years. And it still surprises me.
