are any of these artifacts public and available for inspection/use?

Literally, no. Introspection is an internal self-driven process. And typically both the creating and criticisms draw from the general distribution of information, there’s still “nothing” to do the introspecting.

idk about that. The big labs and their data providers are spending millions of dollars building up expert datasets. I was offered $120/hr to critique outputs and provide my own designs. Thats clean and high quality data, not the average internet word distribution

White noise is better than the repetitive and generic synthetic music I got

faisca.dev is also vibed - perhaps it's a real human using AI to build an online fascade

Spam website owners pay for these bots, they get compensated for the conversions. In an ideal world, google’s ad prices and fraud detection would render this ineffective.

The actual rates charged to merchants are variable, and typically higher for rewards/cashback cards. Basically, other people are subsidizing cards with higher benefits/cash back (of course as people shift, the merchant raises prices to compensate for the higher average fee, or just charge an additional Z% higher than your cash back)

I have a feeling search traffic is down and lots of people are diverting to using AI, or to one of the sloppy competitors. Conveying bank statements doesn’t seem like there’s much of a moat around the workflow.

Their primary information channels have been captured and corrupted. They are isolated and misled. This is the penultimate form of domestic fascist propaganda.

Your reductive statement just fodders further divisiveness and apathy.

We've dealt with propaganda and political change in the past. What worked has always been outreach and engagement, slow deprogramming, in person.

I really struggle to get past AI writing. Aside from feeling disrespected, something about that style is just so tiring to read… the marketing style of setup and reveal, repetition, only works in small doses

> I think it funny how much average engineers are beginning to discover the challenges of engineering leadership and program management. This has always been the bottleneck.

It is somewhat new for most ICs to need this skillset, as opposed to tech leads/staff folks. What books would you suggest for this new reality?
