I’m not sure how that helps you though.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 6 days ago:
When NFT started getting popular. Forums were full of idiots saying “now I can really BUY something and HAVE it!” as opposed to, say, game publishers having their server with user accounts on it and their item there. There’s even people that touted “we will be able to bring items from one game to another!”. Pointing the silliness of the idea to them was a lost cause.
And, since that’s not how any of this works, it crashed and aside from some big publisher being incredibly late to the party, the idea is now buried deep and forgotten.

This is the TYPICAL AI use case :
- have situation that’s not perfect, but works fine and is understandable (old control panel and some hidden settings)
- improve on the old control panel, create subsections that makes sense, make it searchable, everyone is happy
- someone decides that “control panel” and “old looking UI” have to go, create a cluster-a-doodle-fuck of a garbage mess labeled “Settings”, put only half the old settings in there, and half the time conflicts with other well-established ways to do things
- keep pushing the new thing despite it being so horrendous a kitten litter dies every time it is used
- pretend “there is a problem with settings, but we can solve it with AI”
- ???
- nothing, whatever, definitely not profit
It seems that people keep forgetting we just, did stuff. Changing most system settings wasn’t an incomprehensible chore reserved to the most elite of people. And changing the fringe ultra rare and hard to find setting only happened with half-decent competent people. No need to throw AI at that… unless you dismantle everything that works before, of course.
I swear, it’s not long ago that people were touting that we could finally have decent microtransactions in games thanks to blockchain, despite microtransactions being a very lucrative thing for decades before. And don’t get me started on people saying “but it’s the only way artists can get paid”.
As a collective, humanity is dumb.

something buzzing on my wrist all the time would drive me batty
It’s the same when it’s in your pocket. I’d say the issue is not that it buzz all the time on your wrist, but that it buzz all the time. I disabled most notifications, except for a selection of people and apps. When I get a notification, it is usually important enough that I should check it. Everything else (including non-emergency work stuff) is checked on my own accord, when I feel like it.
Having the notifications pop on my wrist, with that system, does not feel like a shackle more than a phone constantly turning its screen on to tell you you have unread whatever.

- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 1 month ago:
I don’t know how it works in the US, and it’s certainly not perfect, but if you bring “compromised” evidences of actual child abuse, you can be sure it’ll trigger some extensive investigation. Sometimes, this leads to nothing. Sometimes, the “evidences” were not really evidence, but more of a hunch. Sometimes, it leads to actual consequences.
One issue with such a vigilante system is that sometimes, you’re wrong. That’s why due process is a thing. But the “this evidence was collected illegally, so we won’t even look up the guy” thing isn’t really a thing, as long as the evidence is better than “I’m sure of it”.

- Comment on Get your new PebbleOS watch 1 month ago:
Pebble is now playing a gambit, whereby they think they will sell more of the premium model to people who will be using it for exercise and health reasons.
There’s an explicit line in their site that says these are not made to be fitness trackers, and that garmin are good for that (or some other brand, can’t remember). It would be very odd to say that if it was their target.
