they're going to ban all social media. it's probably for the best
Too real. We’re going to try to fix this. Social media doesn’t have to be this way.

there's a disconnect here re: the average person using IG or TikTok, and how truly attached they are to these slop videos
"Likes" in old social media used to actually mean something but not anymore. The average person is scrolling their feed liking *anything* that they don't actively *dislike*

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

Twitter isn't as bad as Bluesky makes it seem. Bluesky isn't as bad as Twitter makes it seem. Really just depends whether you prefer your death threats from racists or communists.

Checking in on this. Despite all the hype and actual improvements, LLMs still seem to be stuck here. In the space where they can only assist and maybe save a lot of typing.
ChatGPT coding is right on the edge of being amazing. It will save me hours of research and googling for something in which I lack expertise, but if I ask it to do something I’m familiar with then I will likely spend more time correcting it than being productive

Spent hours trying to get ChatGPT 4 to help me with a SwiftUI thing and lost hope, wrote it myself.
A few weeks later I was able to guide it through most of the tedious work of a complex bash script, asking it to correct errors and fill in gaps, and i felt like I caught a glimpse of heaven
