OK, this is an interesting topic.

If money is just on the ground, or gold found in the earth, most of us would pick it up.

If you had $10k in your wallet, most of us would not take it from you, and especially wouldn't take it by physically harming you. A few people would.

An even smaller percentage of the population would actively kill you to take the $10k from you.

'Greed' isn't a problem if it doesn't cause harm. There is a small percentage of the population (griefers) who will happily enshittify things. Bankers only see things in terms of dollars, they don't consider the harm they cause (although they do usually try to follow the law).

Probably not majorly, their capitalization is too low.

Nah, I wasn't saying you were wrong, I was just making a joke.

Clearly your point was correct since it was named after Mr Dna and not Watson, Crick or Franklin.

Interesting. Is there a source for this? Do you know which ad it was?

How to say you know nothing about Silicon Valley without saying you know nothing about Silicon Valley.

A legitimate question. It's easy to snidely say, "Why, are you posting from a smartphone that was invented in Silicon Valley?" and that's a legitimate response, but let's look at the question more deeply:

Historically, people have specialized into blacksmith, shepherds, farmers, etc. By and large this is a good thing, because by dividing and conquering, we can accomplish more together. (Of course, there can be problems, but by and large it's a good thing). Silicon Valley engineers are by analogy one of these specializations.

One of these specializations was "leadership," convincing people to do coordinated action, like building the pyramids or canals or other things that wouldn't exist without a strong hand forcing people to work together. I say "leadership" but somehow historically, "leadership" always meant violence, and "working together" always meant theft or slavery. If there was a surplus of grain or gold or anything, the violent leaders would swoop in and take it.

In the modern era, bureaucrats have replaced these experts in violence. Trump is severely limited in what he can do compared to King George (and every modern country's leader is the same). However, the specialists in coercion are still there, and when there is wealth on the table, they will swoop in and take it. These coercion specialists are concentrated in the banking industry and the MBA specialization. If they see something nice, or something they can exploit, they will, and the result is we can't have nice things.

And that is where enshittification comes from.

It wasn't Silicon Valley that fucked things up, Silicon Valley just builds stuff. It was the New York bankers who come and try to squeeze the maximum profit out of everything, even at the cost of quality (or anything else).

That is when things get enshittified.

With a decent SSD and a decent CPU. I would not put it past some companies to still be running with CPUs that barely pass minimum requirements and using the slowest HDDs.

Considering that Grab has building iOS apps for over 12 years instead of developing PWAs, I would guess they know more about their business than you. Have you presented your ideas to Grab?

1) Commercial pilots have to be certified to fly models of aircraft. No rules say pilots can only certify on one type of aircraft for their entire career. Some pilots certify on multiple ones. 2) UPS and FedEx fly more than the MD-11 as mentioned in the summary that it was a small part of their fleet.

I can't say that I'm entirely surprised, given what else they've been getting up to; but it seems downright crazy to just unleash a slop engine without even giving your volunteers a heads up; then patronizingly ask if you can perhaps arrange a meeting to understand their concerns.

If your options are 'nothing' and 'hire bilingual tech writer' you can see the attraction of having a not very good but extremely cheap option; but just tossing away the expertise you already get for nothing out of some sort of weird technophilia? Is there actually some nutjob out there who was all "Oh, but machine translation makes my CI pipeline so efficient" or something?

For you, the proper adjustments is taking a statistics class.

Yes, I just called you ignorant. It shows here. Don't worry, it's fixable.

If vibe coding worked really well, then we'd see tons of AI slop apps filling the app stores, just like we have AI slop books filling Amazon.

That's because the social media feed has become a trash roll of ads and memes. If you want to actually see what your friends are doing, it's not in the social media feed.

Your idea here is what, royalty has higher IQ? Richer people have higher IQ?
