Addiction is absolutely the wrong word and you’re stretchy very hard to try and make it fit

Two things can be bad, you don’t have to pick.

Yeah I listen to random ambient music, probably all AI, as background noise when I’m working or reading

Until someone fine tunes their LLM to match whatever the trend is and then the contrarians buck that trend for something else. An endless game of cat and mouse.

I personally don’t care if an output is from LLM or human, as long as someone has validated it and determined that it’s correct and useful.

Some people want so badly for the iPhone to be bad and only bought by sheep as a fashion accessory to signal to their wealth to their peers.

On the other hand, I recently had a problem with my grocery order from Sam’s Club (the onions were smashed) and had to call to get it hopefully addressed. Talked to an LLM for 30 seconds after 0 wait and it was resolved. No accent I could barely understand, no potato microphone, no being put on hold for 5 minutes in the middle while they do whatever.

Just I’m an AI, I might fuck this up, what do you need, is this about your most recent order? Yes, my onions got smashed. Ok do you want a refund? Yes. The end.

> even iPhones came (and still comes) with a ton of apps you cannot remove regardless of how little you use them

You see, the user you replied to spoke in the present tense, and is addressing the “(and still comes with)” portion of the original comment.

They are significantly more convenient. No wired to tangle or snag on anything. Seamless handoff between all your devices. It’s genuinely a better user experience.

They don’t sound better, but if you care about sound quality over ux then you’re even luckier nowadays than any time prior because you can plug an amp/dac into your phone

In an age where every idiot is online it’s not surprising you are here writing this.

In your fantasy scenario moving to Rust over Zig 0.16 would good

Ah yeah certainly there’s nothing else to be done. One must complain on social media about something that they have no control over yet is easily avoidable.

Throwing all away by changing to a different programming language.

None of it is thrown away, it’s just now in a new language.

On top of that Bun is realistically a one man show with the vast majority of the code written by one dude. So the comment I replied to started from outrage and worked backwards to justify it without thinking too hard tbh.

The implication that you shouldn’t be able to change the programming language of your own project is also weird. Personally I welcome things like Typescript being rewritten in Go

Have you never read a magazine or a newspaper? Ads have been in products designed for reading for your entire life.

And it’s an ad on the lock screen, not an ad interrupting your reading. I buy the ad free versions though.

Because these are people that don’t buy the books anyway. They pirate them and put them onto their 2010 Chinese ebook reader.
