Thanks for this comment, actually made me think about something new.

> Yeah we could just as easily drag our laptops into the kitchen but then you end up finding a comfy spot on the couch or for the kids in their rooms.

I've been feeling that: much about keeping my sanity in this age is about noticing those patterns we keep falling in and arranging for "easier" ways to fall into healthier patterns. The annoying thing is that it doesn't seem that those "unhealthy" patterns were that easy to predict in order to avoid. Like some 15 years ago would it have been as obvious that we would get to such a consistently predictable pattern of "comfy spot on the couch or bed" and the unhealthy social and personal repercussions of that?

I just wish I start being able to predict those pitfalls earlier than the current few years per tech evolution.

I'm not sure if I have a use case for this but on the technical aspects this is so cool. Those magnetic snaps made me grin!

There is a concrete expiry date listed for each reset in the codex desktop app.

> Most people should have learned at a young age that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

That might be true, but it is definitely not the world we live in.

This is actually one creative idea, kudos. I encourage you to reach out to OP as he was asking for discussion in case he didn't see this comment. This is the only newer out of the box idea I saw in this thread

> There are already so many ways (and reasons) not to do free or open source software. People who find them convincing are using them.

To be honest, I don't think the space between GPL/MIT and commercial closed source is explored enough. I'm aware there's a few examples of things in between, but they are not common knowledge and they don't satisfy everyone. It is not a space that is easy to search online for established wisdom and comparisons in.

> Besides, why would "bad guys" be deterred by a license, anyway?

I imagine because we're talking about a subcategory of "bad guys" who still like to stay within the confines of the law (supposedly at least).

So in that case, would someone willing to publish LLM-speak under their name be similarly adopting that "voice".

Does that entail that LLMs are not in fact erasing our societal voices, only making it easier to adopt bland-corporate en-mass?

I don't find that current generation LLMs output such short sentences that would start with the same prefix such as "Your voice".

There was recently this link talking about AI slop articles on medium

https://rmoff.net/2025/11/25/ai-smells-on-medium/

He doesn't link many examples, but at the end he gives the example of an author pumping out +8 articles in a week across a variety of topics. https://medium.com/@ArkProtocol1

I don't spend time on medium so I don't personally know.

This is a valuable take tbh, I missed it.

Zig team ought to probably write about it in that manner.
