The real headline for this should have been: Someone used an AI-enabled workflow to criticize me.

Can we stop anthropomorphizing and promoting ludicrous ideas of ai's blackmailing or writing hit pieces on their own initiative already? this just contributes to the toxicity of ai that needs no help from our own misuse of language and messaging.

Would you feel the same if in 2030, all the actions you describe, work most of the time but still produce questionable output requiring time to verify and fact check due to the probabilistic nature of the LLM engine? This is unsolvable with LLMs. I don't want an embedded or agentic AI but do give me the option to pick a model of my choice and accept the risks when I want to. I don't want tainted generated summaries, replies or code in certain critical areas.

I'm hoping that contributors balk and are willing to walk since the ramifications are way beyond just WP Engine within the FOSS community.

and so I no longer watch ScarJo movies because she took Sky from us.

OTOH, Sky sounded more like Rashida Jones.

Also less cursing please! Every streamed original or movie seems to be in some kind of competition for f-bombs and comes across as so forced and unnecessary.

Watch the IPO dollars. That’s what this is all about. Whoever is hitching their wagon to this IPO should be taking a serious look at management and comments made by the CEO which were clearly demonstrating immaturity and a loss of touch with both product and community. Reddit for the base is dead. What that means for the IPO will be interesting. Devaluation is in the process.

Oh there will be financial repercussions. Anyone hitching their wagon to this IPO is looking closely at management. The IPO is likely driving this in the first place but it’s based on very short term and faulty assumptions. Reddit is already on fire with moderators and content producers. The reality of this short sightedness hasn’t had enough time to sink in yet. It will though.

Are you a dev for the app or Reddit employee? The official app is a case study in bad UX design. The only positive reviews in the app store are easily identified as bot or part of paid for campaigns. The recent reviews though tell how more average users view the official app…and it’s not very good.

> Adding a currently playing song to a playlist will stop the music and clear the play queue.

This bugs me to no end. I'm always asking myself if a song is worth the listening interruption that will happen when I add it to a playlist.

Such a stupid low hanging bug.

How many of us did the RSS mashups with Yahoo Pipes?

Those were good days.

source? seems like a rather twisted definition of empathy.

back in the day, they were just called bad people as we wondered why they were still around.

For every product decision, there is some crusty adtech coke addled sleazeball asking if there's a better way to snort up more data.

I'd also take a truly fixed and useable autocorrect solution over a larger Frankenstein camera any gooey applause riddled release event of a decade.

right! you would think that maybe someone would have thought about capitalizing a lone letter i. i don't care if everything else is lowercase, but sheesh give us a capital I algorithm.

GBoard is as bad as all others and only marginally better in some situations.

A couple of minutes ago I tweeted a post that included the word somehow. GBoard changed it to *someone. I went back and highlighted the word, changed it to somehow, verified it was corrected and submitted. In some fraction of Google's wisdom, it recorrected the word back to someone. Argh

Autocorrect is a mess.
