It's certainly opportunistic. But it's a gamble many make and sometimes it pays off. To be honest, it feels as if the duplicity is required sometimes in the startup world. And depending on what you lie about... some people even respect you for it. Cluely is weird, their whole brand is cheating. I'm not surprised nor do I trust them less. Granted I've never been a customer. The window in which...

I would not take advice from AI in medical cases. at best it carries the biases of regular doctors, at worst it's completely off the mark

The battery life better be stellar on this. Loving the colors, such a throwback to the G3 ibook days, in the best way.

User needs which are representative of the largest growing cohort of users are probably the priority. But features also build loyalty, and loyalty creates evangelists.

Honestly the biggest challenge is not having a dedicated ebook device. I read a ton and I loathe having to use my phone because as much as I block notifications some still get through. And the screen is tiny. On the laptop, I wish I could spend less time on twitter. I've been gradually decreasing my presence there. Wish there was a place where I could get the same tech news and discussion...

The bar for ethics is so low. Open AI is not to be trusted. None of the big tech firms are really. Surprised google didn't jump at the chance considering 'Don't be evil' isn't their motto anymore. I might be switching to GLM 5 despite its limitations, or I might go back to Claude Code

I build my own tooling most of the time. Unless it/s for email, auth, or databases, I'd rather build my own. Thinking of making my own form builder tbh, with anonymous forms as a feature.

Where I live the trades don't have as much of a formal pipeline as in the US, so it's hard to answer. In the even of UBI, there isn't much to worry about in general. in the dystopia mass unemployment timeline, I have plans to run a business profitable enough to work but not large enough that it will make me a target. Definitely nothing that the rightfully angry crowd will persecute me for. I...

It was all over twitter, that exec who got her emails deleted by an agent. https://x.com/FareaNFts/status/2026395423393591344 that's the full story. Though if I put my tinfoil hat on for just a moment... negative PR stunt to allow META to catch up? Massive attention on agents being unreliable, Presents the opportunity to introduce safe agents, since Meta sucks at models anyways. Tinfoil hat off.

I wouldn't trust any smart home device capable of 'phoning home' I want app-less appliances. Frankly I'm pretty sick of microwaves being passive aggressively loud when I am tired and forget I heated up something. They beep like the pay the damn rent. SMH

Neither. A professional/business brand that isn't full on company. I value my privacy for reasons that I have hinted at before. I do not wish to expose my likeness, voice, mannerisms, to an internet swarming with bad actors. And I do not wish to establish a corporate brand either. Ideally, I'd like for it to be, ah yes, Person from Business who does XYZ.

Done > Perfect If it works it works. If the design being bespoke is a feature then you might need a specialist who can turn a general vision into a polished experience, otherwise it's fine.

I have odd thoughts on Sonnet 4.6 it's great in a technical sense but... I don't trust it yet. and that's a problem.

One. But I have it spawn subagent swarms for various purposes. My favorite is the "Snooty Squad" A set of pedantic and insufferable code reviewers, jaded expert personas from various fields. The personal/roleplay no joke gives them a 2x improvement in effectiveness.

It's a nuanced thing. Had I been isolated from the internet as I grew up, had I not found spaces that helped me understand certain things... I am certain I would not be alive. that was back then. when the key rule of safety was to stay anonymous, to not give out any personal information, Now? We have become so accustomed to the lack of privacy, we even become alarmed or suspicious of anyone...

At this point I use AI as little as possible for any writing. My creative writing and personal non fiction writing is fully air-gapped from AI. For vibecoder blog articles I have the AI place my words verbatim, send them "like this in between quotes." I then use the chat interface to edit, and give explicit instructions to only fix typos and to check in with me about grammar. Sometimes I bend...

Would I trust it? If it works for my application yes, I'd test it and try to find the limits. Launch advice: Your value prop has to be obvious, dead simple conceptually. Launch now or later? A lot of launches benefit from already loyal followings outside of here, but I can't say definitively if that is required.

Someone has to be liability and it's gonna be a game of hot potato. If it's the developer company then they will charge a huge premium for it. That's why Saas works in enterprise, and why MSP models work, the provider takes on liability and responsibility. And the one who uses their service pays a pretty penny for that. Due to life experience and being the person I am, I have a high distrust of...

Some models do not understand two things at once. I constantly bennchmark this. and I tend to stick to one model or at least one family

Does google read these? I'll give it a shot in gemini CLI and see what's up
