- Comment on The Wikimedia Foundation Pauses an Experiment That Showed Wikipedia Users AI-Generated Summaries at The Top of Some Articles, Following an Editor Backlash. 2 weeks ago:
These days, most companies that work with web based products are under pressure from upper management to “use AI”, as there’s a fear of missing out if they don’t. Now, management doesn’t necessarily have any idea what they should use it for, so they leave that to product managers and such. They don’t have any idea, either, and so they look at what features others have built and find a way to adapt one or more of those to fit their own products.
Slap on back, job well done, clueless upper management happy, even though money and time have been spent and the revenue remains the same.

- Comment on The first folding e-reader is smaller than a paperback 2 months ago:
Apparently a foldable OLED screen is, typically expected to last at least 200.000 folds. That’s more than a 100 folds/day for 5 years. I’d take my chances on one, I think.

- Comment on Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio 2 months ago:
I did that a bit, for C64 games. I recall it being a mix of fun, tedious and extremely frustrating if there was even the slightest transmission interference while recording, then all you could do was wait for the next transmission and hope they went better.

- Comment on ‘Normalise Indian hate’: DOGE staffer resigns over racial posts 4 months ago:
We’re probably witnessing the future of US democracy right there. Every question, or at least the ones where they pretend public opinion matters, to be settled by a poll on shitter.
- Comment on Le Chat: A faster European alternative to American AI 4 months ago:
Le Chat is a good name. It’s also the name of, among other things, I’m sure, a Belgian comic strip.
