- shostack parentThat feels like a feature and not a bug given the way some of this stuff is heading.
- Love his channel in general. I actually tried something similar and attended team meetings while sitting in a private jet in VR in Microsoft Flight Simulator. It was such a cool experience and totally immersive. Especially pulling up pinned windows for the work like a laptop on a plane.
There is something to be said for a change in scenery to somewhere stunning. Staring off somewhere beautiful while listening to what people are saying actually helped me stay focused on the content of the meeting.
- Hopefully the mobile version of AI Studio gets some improvement. There are some pretty awful UI bugs that make it really difficult to use in a mobile first manner.
Though I still managed to vibe code an app using nanobanana. Now I just need to sort API billing with it so I can actually use my app.
- This. The fact that democracy is up against an extremely organized, centralized, and well resourced effort decades in the making with seemingly nothing comparable to combat it has those opposing this on completely reactive footing.
It is hard to see how a reactive group can come out on top in such a case.
- This behavior should be an early warning sign of future potential enshitification and a reason to consider open weight models you can host elsewhere.
If you are building on models that could disappear tomorrow when a company needs to juice the launch of a new model (or increase prices), you are introducing avoidable risk.
- Roo Code has had Orchestrator mode doing this for a while with your models of choice. And you can tweak the modes or add new ones.
What I have noticed is the forcing function of needing to think through technical and business considerations of ones work up front, which can be tedious if you are the type that likes to jump in and hack at it.
For many types of coding needs, that is likely the smarter and ultimately more efficient approach. Measure twice, cut once.
What I have not yet figured out is how to reduce the friction in the UX of that process to make it more enjoyable. Perhaps sprinkling in some dopamine triggering gamification to answering questions.
- Unfortunately as an early NMS player with hundreds of hours, I have seen nothing that gives me hope that LNF will have the depth that is needed for the world to feel like that. Mile wide, inch deep.
What made EQ an experience was those areas were static and took real skill to uncover how to do things.
- Generally agree but they are laying the path to enshitification. You see you can get turn by turn directions on the HUD, but only through their app where they want you to pay $10/mo for the privilege. Same for inputting addresses into their crappy nav system.
So I only use Google maps with Android Auto now, but cannot put the turn by turn display on. Also, who knows what telemetry Mazda is sending home on me without me knowing or wanting them to. Probably selling it to data brokers.
- Not at all.
When you're young and not tied down, and also likely lack much money, you prioritize a different lifestyle and are also in college to, presumably, accomplish your goal of getting a degree and learning something.
For many, once they get older and desire a slower, calmer, quieter life, and especially if you want more space with kids, the suburbs start holding more appeal. And that also factors in constraints about job availability.
- There's a lot of unknowns at this point, but here's an industry piece for a more informed perspective on it.

- A restaurant near me has a framed monitor that displays some animated art with a scene of a cafe on a street corner. I looked closely and realized it was AI. Chairs were melted together, text was gibberish, trees were not branching properly etc.
If a local restaurant is using this stuff we're near an inflection point of adoption.
