@zzt LLMs are always really good at whatever type of output you don't know how to validate.

If you don't know how to code, it is great at code.

If you don't know a language, it is great at translating it.

If you don't know the law, it is a great lawyer.

Every fucking time... Yet somehow, some people aren't seeing the fucking pattern.

Condé Nast shit the bed so hard when it fired four journalists last year that it's now settled with the union and given three out of the four reporters "two years’ pay and furnished [them] with positive letters of recommendation."

UNIONS, PEOPLE. UNIONS!

I have seen this before with their forced Google+ adoption game. Users aren't adopting Google AI at the rate shareholders or C suits expect, so they now force the adoption at the cost of search engine. Just like Google+ died out, this forced AI mode in Google search is going to die and I hope it will be the end of the company as well.

@nixCraft DuckDuckGo is not AI-free. Its AI features are on by default; it's just they can still be disabled.

DuckDuckGo's AI-free search saw nearly 28% more visits in the week following Google's insistence that people love AI mode. Is anyone surprised by this result?

Today's tech support call that'll stay with me for a while was helping a customer regain access to their email. They're elderly, and their child was the one talking to me.

They use Microsoft Office, but one of the last versions to come in a box, and after looking all over, we found it's an edition without Outlook. But they use Outlook.

But Outlook for Windows wasn't set up, either. We eventually found out it's Outlook for Edge. Outlook the website. To access a non-MS IMAP box. Happy 2026.

Love how every website now has a popup that tells you "our website is hot dogshit, download the app instead"

And then the app is just an Electron wrapper around the same JS they could have put on the website if they didn't hate you personally
