There are only two kinds of user interface in this world: a button and a text input. LLMs? A button. Blender? A text input. Despite their appearances, google search is a button, while ableton is a text input

“average word game online is 50% genai” factoid just actualy a statistical error. average word game is 0% genai. Outlier, whose ui is vibecoded and is 100% genai, is an outlier adn shouldn’t have been counted

They absolutely did not lose this case. They just bought themselves some nice shiny 10-year regulatory capture for the low, low price of $18b and with one stroke just killed at least three dozen future competitors before they could even be founded. This was a complete victory.

LinkedIn broke ctrl-click on the external links in Safari by insisting that user goes through their intermediate page for safety reasons, no doubt, and something doesn't quite work there (works good in Chromium, though)

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

asked siri on a watch “what is 24 multiplied by 16” and felt a tinge of remorse at my unwillingness to calc in my mind (it’s the amount of water for coffee) the watch replied, “24x16… To do that you need to be online.” so we both are stupid, that’s a relief
