Well, you know, you don't want to miss out! You don't want to miss out, do you? Trust me, everyone else is doing this hot new thing, we promise. So you'd better start using it too, or else you might get left behind. What is it useful for? Well... it could make you more productive. So you better get on board now and, uh, figure out how it's useful. I won't tell you how, but trust me, it's really good. You really should be afraid that you might miss out! Quick, don't think about it so much! This is too urgent!

I'm in, but only if this part is handled by fractionalizing an NFT linking to the original post on your custom blockchain
as someone who never really understood The Big Deal With SPAs (aside from, like, google docs or whatever) i'm at least taking solace in the fact that like a decade later people seem to be coming around to the idea that, wait, this actually kind of sucks
“We want to make sure that you see great content, that you’re posting great content, and that you’re interacting with the community,” he says.

Relatedly (and relevant to this article) I feel like the funniest part of the whole AI bubble has been executives repeatedly unwittingly revealing that they could be replaced by a simple computer program
During the interview, Kat openly admitted to not being productive but shared that she still appeared to be productive because she gets others to do work for her. She relies on volunteers who are willing to do free work for her, which is her top productivity advice.
Productivity pro tip: you can get a lot more done if you can just convince other people to do your work for you for free
Dang, I remember seeing this many years ago when it was still at like 1998-browser levels of functionality, really cool to see how much progress they've made! It'd be awesome to have more non-commercial browser engines out there.
I really love the serenity os project as well honestly, glad it's not just me who likes that old style of UI (though I'm sad they seem to have dropped the classic Mac style universal menubar...)
in the article it turns out he isn't even actually generating the images, he just created 187 AI images and it rotates through them

oh hey, i love awesomewm! i'm much less amenable to fiddling with annoying linux config than I used to be, but the lua-scriptability is just appealing enough that I don't mind messing with it a bit to do silly things
I just use xfce4-terminal though lol

For real though, we must have reached Peak Ad at some point, or at least we're deep into the realm of diminishing returns. This can't go on forever, right?
