  • What we need is another AI to watch it! Then another to watch that one. And another…

    I dislike the idea that we spend so much effort trying to hide our humanity in these. Turning it so corporate clean and inhuman that its barely useful.

    Yeah, yeah, like most people I also don’t like that they are created from stolen content. But ALOT of people seems to hate LLM with a passion just because its trendy, with very little thought to that its just a tool, and it cannot be uninvented.

    But having to find and pay each content creator is only an option for bigger corporations, of course. And a lot of work. If they wanted to do it legally and morally right, they would use only stuff that has fallen out of copyright. And we would have an autocompleter that spoke like a 1900 roman character. Wouldn’t work. Its sad that copyright lasts this long. That we can’t use more current content more freely for anything like the new inventions like LLMs, or for other kinds of research, or for making museums, or archive old games in a usable state. People do it, of course, and its sad seeing them occasionally taken down for their hard work just because the content isn’t authors death plus 70 years old.






  • For us on a mental break…down, having delivery available is our chance at a decent dinner. Yes its expensive but im paying for not having to spend an hour making the dinner and not having to sit in a restaurant waiting for a to-go meal and not having to interact with people. Neither which I would do anyway. Its better than staring hungry at the ceiling but too depressed to do anything about it so when I finally is so hungry I can’t even sleep I go out to a night-open kiosk and buy myself a bag of potato chips and some soda or a frozen pizza.

    Well, that was a very specific example for why the post-covid app delivery trend is awesome. Before it the only delivery was pizza around here.

    Though I do wish there was more variation. Restaurants are too city-district grouped. Within my delivery area (where I can still get a meal still hot and not pay extra), Torshov in Oslo, there is mostly burgers, kebabs, thai, and sushi food restaurants. Fish meals, italian, or sandwiches needs to be shipped from centrum. Norwegian-food style restaurants don’t do delivery. Not that I’m complaining, I’m just suggesting improvements to some strangers on the web that can do nothing about it. 🫤


  • The color stage is the best one. Thats when the consumer-part of a product is “done” and they dont really know what to add except advertise more. The muted colors are when they have turned corporate and are trying to get into B2B deals, and consumers dont really matter as much any more. Then return to a mono-color when they try to trim anything unecessary to earn more money without getting more customers. And two-color choice when they need to convince investors that they “are still fresh and not out of ideas”.

    besides, the third party skin and case industry is thriving

    By thriving you mean the 3rdparties are only selling customization thingies for the most popular-selling products. Usually products that has gone so far into shittification that they are halfway filled with advertisement and B2B deals. Yay, I can put a red shell on my handheld advertising platform…
