He said they “did not pull any punches” which implies it was a more blunt conversation than you’re suggesting.

Hank Green himself describes his relationship with AI the same way you would an addiction, and specifically mentions the dopamine reaction driving his use of it to a point where he became overwhelmed by it.

He’s not describing a casual discussion about table salt, he’s literally describing a drug/alcohol addiction.

Being anti-anti something is being pro-something. That’s the beauty of the double negative.

Also that’s just a very pro-AI user, so the intent can be inferred

His AI use caused him so many problems in his private life that his family had to intervene. His point of view is “This technology has had a negative impact on my life and the lives of the people I care about”.

Your pro-AI spiel is a bit tone deaf here

The reason this is happening is because the cost of DRAM is ballooning the prices of all electronics and they are fully aware that people can’t pay the new higher prices even if they wanted to. Lower monthly payments is the difference between whether a lot of people buy an Apple or Samsung device at all.

I wouldn’t call this move nefarious on its own, but it is a dystopian side affect of the real problem which is DRAM price gauging.

In America you can have whatever the top tier of vision insurance is available to you and it’s basically a $100 off coupon for frames. I’ve never not spent $300-$400 for glasses.

An important thing to note here is that this isn’t anything new. This is what a significant amount of people have already been doing for years through their carrier. I don’t have any statistics on hand for this, but I personally don’t know a single person who has bought their phone outright. Everyone just leases their phone through their carrier around here, and upgrades as soon as they’re allowed. Hearing people complain about their cellphone plan cost increasing or poor cell service but being unable to switch carriers until their phone is paid off is a common thing to hear, as carriers have been using their phone leasing programs as a substitute for plan contracts for awhile now.

Leasing your phone through your carrier with the ability to buy or turn it in at the end of the term has been the name of the game for a very long time. What Apple and Samsung are doing is just trying to entice you into going direct through them instead of your carrier which is actually a good thing.

If you’ve been buying your phone outright then you shouldn’t use a program like this, but if you’ve been leasing your phone through your carrier I’d actually recommend switching to just doing the same thing directly through the manufacturer since it frees you up to switch carriers whenever you want.

One of the few things Reddit had going for it that anyone’s grandmother understood is that it was synonymous with organic user content (Even if that’s not entirely true). There’s a reason adding site:Reddit.com to Google searches was a meme, and it’s that you could get more organic feedback on things as opposed to the hellscape that was the open internet “listicles”.

When Reddit closed itself off from the internet at large by forcing app usage, and embracing AI which just made their bot problem worse, it legitimately removed the one thing it was actually good for.

That’s not how Google’s crawlers or search indexing work. If you configure your site properly, you won’t have this problem Anthropic’s had. This is an amateur move by Anthropic

That’s actually not how Google works. This was Anthropics screwup

They’ll be a startup until they start making a profit (if)

This isn’t circular financing. They will sell more than they’ll invest and that money does not disappear when the bubble pops.

No

I hate to break it to you but the AppStore has been a cesspool of useless shovelware for over a decade now. There isn’t a whole lot of good at this point to crowd out

So Codeberg had banned vibe codes projects and cryptocurrency projects, and you have a project that is neither vibe coded nor involving cryptocurrency?
