too many people doing accidentally dumb stuff with AI and not intentionally dumb stuff with AI

@molly0xfff I ordered the small

imagine if they spent that $100mil+ it cost to send the national guard to LA on stuff that helped people

@aardrian yeah makes sense, I had no idea really... though fortunately haven't used it in any of the worst cases. Your blog post about display properties is very helpful, thanks for that.

@aardrian I was just thinking about this yesterday! without it grid would be so limited

I spent a bunch of time trying to find who originally proposed it so I could send them an email... pretty sure it was https://github.com/tabatkins

(I realize this might be the opposite of your sentiments about it 😅 )

very much in the space of Frances Quinlan and Hop Along, if that's an indie music area you're familiar with

If at the bottom of everything
we are all alone
then I want nothing but unending bliss
for my enemies

Utopia Now! is a beautiful album from Rosie Tucker, check it out: https://rosietucker.bandcamp.com/album/utopia-now

@moopet yeah I was very disappointed when it didn't turn out to be entirely exploration and environmental storytelling... not sure why they had to do a bit of bait and switch on everyone

yertle the turtle economics

i have a really profitable coping mechanism

(not always profitable for me, mind.)

I'm not sure what to do when I strongly agree with a message, but still hate 3D pie charts.

@anildash there are only 2 kinds of internet users:

1. I will type my credit card information into any box that asks for it

2. if you ask me to press a button I will hate you forever

@dalias yeah true, maybe this is a necessary "worse before it gets better" situation that can force more legislation 🤔

@dalias perhaps! but the current state of Google being an ad company resistant to ad-tracking protections in their browser clearly isn't a tenable situation either

@dalias right, a standard alone won't fix it... but requiring more consent without one is going to be an enormous mess for experience (cookie consent alone already is)... app experience keeps chipping away at web experience

other efforts, like google having to sell off chrome are probably more important!

@anildash we really need a browser-supported consent standard similar to Apple's app privacy warnings (educational and mostly non-invasive) — otherwise we'll get more of the malicious compliance style cookie consent banners

@anildash sad to see it go, I used glitch to show my son how to build and update his own website!

This one was, obviously, bittersweet to write: we’re shutting down app hosting on Glitch. This post covers how everybody can export your apps & download your code. I didn’t get into where the Glitch community goes next, because honestly we’re still figuring it out, but it’s still the end of an era. I’ll have more to share about this later, of course, but I just wanted to make sure everyone got the news straight from me. If you have any questions, you can ask in the forum. https://blog.glitch.com/post/changes-are-coming-to-glitch/

@Wilto the tests are just bogging AI down, they should remove them
