If no person needs to review it, then it doesn't matter. If it doesn't matter, then why does it even exist?

I had to use Clipchamp to edit a video. I might need a couple of mental health days after that.

This book is a five out of five stars

I guess anything can go through enshittification, no matter how useless it is. Imagine making homeopathic medicine and raising its price.

The enshittification of AI (let's assume it works) has been so well telegraphed that I genuinely will be surprised if someone is caught off guard.

I hate receiving paper statements via email. Yes, I think it is a waste of paper (and water) but what really annoys me is how to get rid of those documents full of personal sensitive info.

It is sexier when you don't show everything. Leave some mystery.

It's weird when you buy something expensive,like a camera or a sound system, and they keep sending you emails every week inviting you to buy more of the same. I'm not a YouTube reviewer! I only need one of this thing!

Hey Microsoft Word, I don't need the AI summary of a two page document that I wrote, I just need your numbering and indentation to work as expected. Is it too much to ask?

A true tech visionary plans for the eventual enshitification of services.

What do you call it when an organization tries to reduce complexity and what it achieves is a structure that's not prepared to tackle complex but common scenarios, effectively making the organization dumber?

Tech giants: Boy, this new tech we are building is really going to turn the world upside down.

The rest of the world: So, let's stop this.

Tech: Millions will die!

World: You know you control it, right?

Tech: ...And the survivors will regret their fate

World: Dude...

Tech: The horror!

We need to set up a group of experts to design a new standard icon for video that doesn't look like an apothecary bottle lying down.

After they are done with that, we can work on updating the videocamera emoji.

Nowadays, writers have to think about different ways to give their characters amnesia

The part where he tries out the blame on a small group of people, like he never knew about the thing. Even if it is true, it shows zero accountability and pretty poor leadership. Own your culture!

I believe that some tech leaders are railing so much against "friction" not only because of the common meaning (obstruction) but because in the business world regulations are often masked as frictions.

Friction can be good! Imagine going to surgery because you had a headache. No exams, no friction.

Walmart: ChatGPT checkout converted 3x worse than website After testing 200,000 items in ChatGPT, Walmart found sharply lower conversions and will use its own integrated shopping experience.

In Walmart test, traditional online shopping beat agentic commerce bigtime.

Those languages are woke, and we shouldn't assume preferences of these household items based on their genders assigned at birth.

Unless it is a publicly traded company, and the people at the helm believe that appearances will bring a higher stock value, even more than what's lost in productivity (which I'm sure is not a good long term strategy)

If you think that private companies always work to maximize efficiency and reduce waste (and you think "bullshit jobs" don't exist) you only need to review your average "return to office" policy to see how that's wrong.

So many cool things to learn, so little time, so few opportunities to turn it into an asset that is valuable under capitalism, delivering an acceptable ROI of the aforementioned time.

UX designers have been against "design by vibes" since way before it meant LLM generated. It's easy to see why if you understand what UX professionals do.

Now Google is proudly using "vibe design" with their new Stitch tool, because it seems nothing matters anymore

This is what happens with humans with a short context window and the memory of a goldfish.

It's sad to see the amount of great work that is lost when organizations restructure without proper knowledge transfer. Everyone is trying to solve the same problems every two years.

This startup wants to make enterprise software look more like a prompt | TechCrunch The company has raised $12 million in seed funding to build an AI operating system for enterprise.

This is of course just your usual startup spiel, but it makes me think about how a product, that seemingly does everything, can guide an user throughout unknowns when there's no interface to do that.

Oddly enough, there's nothing as passive as a chat-based interface.

I'm one of those average Colombians. I grew up drinking coffee with milk before going to bed. I don't care about the quality, just give me some caffeine before I start getting withdrawal symptoms.

I'm fascinated by the idea that the average Colombian doesn't have the best coffee palate because we exported our premium product and consumed the cheap stuff, usually from other countries.

This started changing a while back, and Colombians now can easily claim their righteous role as coffee snobs.

They are releasing all this slop via distribution networks and all streamers are listing them. You will see the same stuff in Tidal and other services.

I assume they are waiting to see what happens first: People to stop caring about real artists, or leaving streaming due to all the garbage.

And if this sounds familiar, it is because the concept of AI works the same. Via brute force (hyper scaling) we got the promise of finding a solution for everything, using human language no less, even if it is less effective and precise.

And if it doesn't work, a few more data centers will solve it
