There is a lot of top down shit, but there is definitely bunch non c-suite enterprise customers out there. A lot of product managers are curious about this shit.

Did Great Britain move in with Mexico after it broke up with Europe?

The point of a prototype is collaboration. It’s to get feedback from colleagues and end users.

Previously we’d whiteboard that out, spend a few days writing some code or stitching together a figma prototype to achieve a similar results.

I feel ya on the energy use, but don’t see how this is going to get me sued or isn’t allowing me to collaborate. The prototype code is going to get burned anyway, and now I my coworkers and I can pressure test ideas instantly with higher fidelity than before.

Once again, it all depends on the use case. The other day I used an LLM quickly mockup a carousel UI so I could see if it was worth writing real code for. It helped me explore a couple bad ideas before I committed to something worth coding.

I’m not actually checking that code in. I’m using the LLM like a whiteboard on steroids.

All I’m saying is that is you ask people about AI with no use case, you’re going to get different answers than if you ask people about AI when it’s contextualized to a specific problem space.

If I ask a bunch of people about “what do you think about automobiles,” I’m going to get a very different answer than if I ask “what do you think about automobiles that are used as ambulances” or “what do you think about automobiles instead of mass transit.”

Context will give you a very different response.

Yeah, it’s basically like early days of cable, Uber, Instacart, streaming, etc. They have a lot of capital and are running at a loss to capture the market. Once companies have secured a customer base, they start jacking up the prices.

people don’t really like ai

Once you start asking about AI in regard to specific use cases, I think you’ll find that quickly changes.

My company and I have been running a lot of studies around how and where people find value in these tools, and a LOT of people find LLMs useful for copy writing, doing quick research, data visualization, synthesis, fast prototyping, etc.

There’s a lot of crap that AI is bad at in 2025. Especially the poor in-app integrations that everyone is trying to standup. But there are a lot of use cases where it does provide a lot of value for people.

Many states in the US have similar regulations. For example, California’s regulations are famously similar to GDPR.

People should bombard them with DSAR requests.

If you’re in a state that support data subject removal requests, like California, email [email protected] and say this is a formal DSAR request to remove all of your PII.

They have 45 days to follow through.

I want a Home Screen widget that shows me the 5 hashtags that are currently trending on Bsky or masto.

Speaking for animation, your browser probably already supports APNG. APNG is 21 years old and has decent adoption. But it’s officially part of the club.

That said, APNGs are fat as fuck and they’re a pretty old solution to animated graphics with an alpha channel. Don’t expect to see everyone making APNGs all of the sudden. There is a reason why people have kept it at a distance.

Animated PNG has been trying to be an extension to the PNG spec for 20+ years.

Yeah man, reverting back to the old stabilized rent control policies and opening a city owned wholesale grocers, and making DoorDash pay minimum wage. Socialism as in Norway, not Stalin.

Stalin was the dude who purged all of his dissenters from his party, implemented mass deportations, and threw people in lawless gulags. Kind of like America’s current president.

Their grants were cut by a Trump EO, and they’re suing to have them reinstated. They’re very much still around.

Me if loratadine didn’t exist.

Or the reason why the US has had Radio Free Europe for decades.

Although, you could also argue that those taxes pay for informing and influencing citizens of foreign nations.

America’s media ecosystem is dominated by Fox, Sinclair, and other state party media players. There is a strategic benefit to having a media outlet that doesn’t run through the state media filter.

lol. That stupid Orb thing is still around?
