Vibe coding all the way

Zuck had an idea once of how to appeal to peoples' basest instincts, and rode it to a substantial fortune. Since then, all he knows how to do is chase the latest trend, and he's not very good at it.

Emphasis on imitating the workings of the brain ignores the fact that our nervous system doesn't end at the neck, and things that we do automatically may require little or no processing in the brain itself. In short, it's a wholistic problem, and looking at individual neurons may not supply the whole answer.

If I hated social media (and I do), whyever would I be interested in a social media app? It would be like selling meat to a vegetarian.

You're not missing anything, and neither are the other commenters who pointed that out. MAGA types are proud of being ignorant and anti-science. Surely to them more power means better. Plus it will play well with the base -- "We gave your wifi more power! Biden couldn't do that!"

"Microsoft is advising users to 'understand the security implications of enabling an agent on your computer.'" Figures. Legal told them to put in a disclaimer to help with the inevitable lawsuits. Either this thing can't access your personal data and is therefore useless, or it can and is therefore a huge security risk. Can't have it both ways.

Tell that to the anaerobic bacteria.

Back in the day, it was an article of faith that throwing more people at a project didn't speed it up, but rather had the opposite effect.
Not that this policy was ever intended to be anything but performative.

Those "captains of industry" only care about next quarter's profits and their bonus. If they actually indulged in long-term thinking, they'd probably miss their quarterly targets and get fired.

Slashing science budgets and gutting higher education somehow doesn't seem like it's going to close the gap.

I'll bet they had their fingers crossed behind their back.

"We're also looking at better controls so you can dial this down or off if you don't find it helpful."

Helpful? Since when is an ad encouraging me to shop at Target helpful? This lame attempt at corporate spin just digs the hole deeper.

It's very rational. Humans are accountable, self-driving cars aren't. Also, humans can adapt to unusual situations, self-driving cars cannot.

I rarely use the top link of search results. I want to see a range of results so I can pick the most appropriate or narrow my search. I most certainly do not want my browser to assume it knows what I'm looking for.
