This type of stuff just screams, “please do not use me” to me. It seems lazy and full of shortcuts on the surface, even if it might not be in reality. And im very pro AI. I’m just also very anti AI slop and regurgitated outputs.

Yep, because the status quo is hard to change and most people get measured, & thus, incentivized, by medium term metrics (at best). especially when investors are involved.

> One shareholder, who described herself as a "simple housewife," asked Son to nominate her son to the board of directors.

"You have great vision and skill," she said. "I would like my son to become like you."

"I'll keep that in mind," Son replied.


Goose matters aside, this was my favorite part.

Does anybody know how to write anymore?

To me, this post reads like Claude wrote it. It has that cadence of staccato, fragments, repetition, punchlines to counterbalance previous AI writing styles. I’m wondering if it’s because it was translated or if it is just AI generated writing.

> - If Zuckerberg could be fired, after spending a total of $235 billion on AI and having NOTHING to show for...should he be fired?

Yes, if the premise was true but it’s not.

This demo tool is really cool, kudos on that!

I clicked that link first even though it’s listed second bc I wanted to see the prompts. I didn’t expect the level of detail or mapping to each commit. It is rad!

That being said the landing page is soooo obviously “vibe coded” (read: AI generated).

It has that design style that Claude likes to ~ab~use. & if I’m being honest, had I clicked on the website link first, I would never have gotten to the demo bc I would’ve just dismissed it as AI slop.

I’m so sick of this landing page style. It’s another iteration of It’s “purple gradient” slop. The other one is serif headline with mono kickers. Sprinkle in em dashes and punchy (non-UX writing) and voila! You’ve got yourself a Claude coded page.

I don’t even see the “en” button. Have to use browser translation which distorts the website

I have a bunch of games or puzzles I do (mostly) daily but never cared about the streaks or any of that. Pure enjoyment.

To answer your question: most ppl enjoy routine and the satisfaction of checking a box, no matter what that box is.

Which is another reason why they should be regulated as a gambling operation. It’s akin to odds making.

> LLMs need that "world model" view that most people have acquired by their 20s where they (hopefully) stop to ask "why" before they "do".

The next evolution of multi agent orchestration / “advisor strategy” [1] will be branded in humanized language like this. Less about tokens and capability, more about wisdom and knowledge to guide a “younger” (less capable) model. Somebody will make a billion dollars by selling it as paired programming for LLMs.

this is pretty cool! very nice of you to make it free. i have a couple of questions:

1) can you elaborate on how you're using audio fingerprinting for it? if the podcast host is the one reading the ads, does it still catch it?

2) how are you able to offer it for free? i imagine there has to be some cost bc some type of algo is involved (hosting, LLM processing, API calls, etc.) but i might be wrong.

3) i downloaded it and tried a podcast and the ads were not skipped. happy to share the podcast and episode for diagnosis.

4) you might be interested in downloading PodSkip. i just tried out the beta via testflight this week. it behaves similarly to your app
