throwacct··on Creators of Tailwind laid off 75% of their engineering team
I think it's too late for that. For new projects? Of course.

>I see what you're getting at, but CSS is as much an open standard as the law

That's the thing, Tailwind is a layer on top of that to ease development, but almost all web development using LLMs is using Tailwind, not CSS.

throwacct··on "Microslop" trends on social media
I mean, they wanted to put "AI" on everything, knowing "AI" is not AI. Could "there is no such thing as bad publicity" apply here? At least they're trending, don't they?
throwacct··on Delete LinkedIn – you'll have zero fucking regrets (2021)
I go even further: I only use the website. If I want to add or modify something, I go to my profile and do it. I only used 2 social network apps, and they are mostly for news and to check on tech people I follow.
throwacct··on “Super secure” messaging app leaks everyone's phone number
I love it. This needs to be on the front page of every newspaper, hehe. I don't care if you're a republican or a democrat, anyone going that way deserves everything they get.
throwacct··on French supermarket's Christmas advert is worldwide hit (without AI) [video]
Interesting. I agree with you that consumers prioritize price over morality, but not when their livelihood is directly or indirectly negatively affected by AI, and the people are starting to notice it.

Hehe. People have "AI" fatigue (I'll include myself there, too), not only because AI content "feels" soulless, but also because the looming job displacement narrative, exacerbated by CEOs, VCs, etc. There'll be a big consumer pushback against companies using AI to lay off employees, etc
throwacct··on Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri
Could anyone please explain how this is "news" worthy? There are literally more pressing issues (inflation, wars, etc), and covering this is asinine, to say the least.
throwacct··on OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race
C'mon man. You know why...
throwacct··on OpenAI declares 'code red' as Google catches up in AI race
Which product do you recommend? OneDrive? Dropbox?
throwacct··on Silicon Valley startups: being evil, again and again
This x100.
throwacct··on Nano Banana Pro
That part was a joke to illustrate the point.
throwacct··on Nano Banana Pro
Google needs to pace themselves. AI studio, Antigravity, Banana, Banana Pro, Grape Ultra, Gemini 3, etc. This information overload don't do them any good whatsoever.
throwacct··on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash
I'm glad I switched to MacOS 3 years ago.
throwacct··on Google boss says AI investment boom has 'elements of irrationality'
AGI? Absolutely. If your country gets there, would anyone relinquish that type of power and knowledge?
throwacct··on Google boss says AI investment boom has 'elements of irrationality'
Tbh, the answer is simple: if we truly get AGI, the government would nationalize it because it's a matter of national security and prosperity for that matter. Everything will change forever. Agriculture, Transportation, Health... Breakthrough after breakthrough after breakthrough. The country would hold the actual key to solve almost any problem.

Third option: no bailouts of any type. Don't socialize losses. The board resets itself again, and let entrepreneurs, small businesses flourish again.
throwacct··on Oracle is underwater on its $300B OpenAI deal
so, these companies are playing hot potato and this is oracle holding it.
throwacct··on Google Antigravity
This. I don't think it'll move the needle. I already use vscode with copilot and it's "good enough".
throwacct··on Peter Thiel sells off all Nvidia stock, stirring bubble fears
I mean, he bought low and now he's selling when the stock is high. What else can we expect?
throwacct··on Samsung Family Hub for 2025 Update Elevates the Smart Home Ecosystem
I mean, if you buy a "smart" appliance at this point, you want the ads and everything else that would come after.
throwacct··on Bullying Is Not Innovation
This system would function similarly to platforms like WooCommerce or Shopify, but with the key differentiator of being integrated directly into your search engine/chat interface, instead of Google, Amazon, or ChatGPT, right? What is your monetization strategy? Ads? monthly fee to show up on the engine?

Also, you're adding a discovery platform where businesses have to compete against other businesses for visibility and customers. Why would I choose to, yet again, help create another "aggregator" to the already saturated "aggregator" market (Amazon, Shopify, Google, ChatGPT, etc.)?

Btw, I'm not trying to bash your idea. The reason I ask is that businesses (even smaller ones) don't pay just for software, but for everything else (support, etc), and among those things, software too, and frankly, the main problem 15 years ago was discovery, but with social media (Twitter, ig, and now TikTok), discovery itself is a solved problem.

throwacct··on Bullying Is Not Innovation
Ok. How can this help businesses wanting to take "control" of their brand and customers? Won't this be equivalent to being an Amazon Seller?
throwacct··on Launch HN: Plexe (YC X25) – Build production-grade ML models from prompts
Interesting. Are you guys only charging for the model building using tokens or overall usage (model building, inferences, etc)?
throwacct··on Bullying Is Not Innovation
Interesting. Your solution literally feel like switching from one garden to another one. This time, with "AI".
throwacct··on Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Square Enix Demand OpenAI to Stop Using Their IP
I agree with this. I don't know how to create artistic styles by hand or using any creative software for that matter. All the LLM tools out there gave me the "ability" and "talent" to create something "good enough" and, in some cases, pretty close to the original art.

I rarely use these tools (I'm not in marketing, game design, or any related field), but I can see the problem these tools are causing to artists, etc.

Any LLM company offering these services needs to pay the piper.

throwacct··on Samsung makes ads on smart fridges official with upcoming software update
This is stupid. Companies are really trying to get people to hate everything tech related. From "smart" beds, to "smart" fridges, and with the "looming" job displacement due to "AI" and robotics, I could see how a "human-centric" economy or new wave of businesses and startups with a "human-centric" approach could develop in few years.
throwacct··on Look, Another AI Browser
Nah.. I'm good. I use brave for daily use and that's it. My family uses safari by default and won't switch over since they're not tech savvy.
throwacct··on Meta is axing 600 roles across its AI division
I mean, it's a path to "profitability", isn't it?
throwacct··on Meta is axing 600 roles across its AI division
Is the bubble still growing, or are we getting close to hitting critical mass?
