- Comment on The French language is a vibe-coded language 2 days ago:
Uh? It’s actually a pretty formal language, with very precise grammatical rules people will spend your life correcting you about.
- Comment on 2 days ago:
They do call it “open source” in the docs though.
- Comment on 2 days ago:
Yeah I noticed it in the favicon too. Bad aftertaste.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
I know, and yet the code is open source. Confusing.

Paywalled article. Here’s the link to the app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetzt
- Comment on Meta’s own research found parental supervision doesn’t really help curb teens’ compulsive social media use 5 days ago:
It’s teaching them what’s good to consume or not and how tell the difference by themselves that’s important. Teching them how to think basically. So parenting. Not watching them, not spying on them asking “why that site”. Parental control filters only work for so long, but they help. My experience using parental control however to limit screen time only taught our kid to absolutely maximize whatever screentime she had. So kind of addicted. But, pretty good at telling what’s toxic.

Sure but it’s not the point of the article, it’s about guardrails not working, as the AI is clearly spouting ideas unapproved in China.

- Comment on Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety" 1 week ago:
CEOs have also bought into AI almost to a person, and are using it to replace workers, results be damned. AI can’t do the things they believe it can, but to them, if they can fake satisfying a need with AI for $5, that is preferable to actually satisfying a need with a real employee for $10.
Yep that’s exactly how me and my entire team were laid off. “Automatization”.

- Comment on Women's razor ads use bare legs but cleaning products don't use clean floors. 2 weeks ago:
Same for men’s shaving ads really. They’re all about an already perfectly shaven guy just scooping soap out of his face with a razor.

Plus, even if you can turn it off, the feature is still in the code, needing updates, etc., even if you don’t ever use it. Literal bloat.
