Or it might come to be that rejecting LLM-authored or LLM-assisted contributions becomes a badge of quality, and users gravitate to them to avoid buggy, inconsistent, or non-performant versions of the same software.

Just to underline your point, Sekiro's NPCs behave in a much more obvious and linear way relative to From's other games, so it's clearly a game design decision and not a technical one.

I mean yeah? Wouldn't you be more proud of your ability to write a program in machine code than you would in assembly? Or more proud of assembly than of C? Or more proud of C than of Python?

Each stage takes greater effort, effort which creates skill. Those hard-earned skills are accomplishments to be proud of.

Alright, we’re each entitled to our opinions on the matter.

No, but come on. If you insert a computer into your brain and wake up tomorrow speaking German, would you be proud you could speak German? Wouldn't you rather work diligently to learn the language and be proud of that effort?

Call me old fashioned but I take pride in things I work hard to achieve. I think it's embarrassing to be proud of AI output of any kind, be it software or art or writing.

That's a better analogy than my dumb drawing one. You can be happy you got your pizza and you can enjoy the taste but it is not an accomplishment to be proud of.

It does matter. Drawing a stick figure and having a machine print over it with a realistic image doesn't make you an artist, and no, you shouldn't be proud of it.

> sense of pride and accomplishment

What? Pride of what? What accomplishment?

This is really what they need to get back to. Let macOS be themeable again.

It's shocking how bad Mail.app search is today. It basically doesn't work.

The future of the US depends on these people being held accountable by the next administration, and structural reforms to make their abuses harder to do again in the future.

> The American people (myself included) are done working half the year to earn money to pay taxes to make the world function and get none of the benefits, while the rest of the world puts their taxes towards benefits for their own society (social safety nets, paying for unlimited migration, etc).

You are utterly delusional if you think Trump and the Republicans are interested in scaling down military spending in favor of social safety nets.

What does that have to do with the Trump admin?

I'm with you. It's fine if your opinion is "software = tool" and you personally want it to be utilitarian and basic, but plenty of us desire our software interfaces to have personality and customization. The answer is that we should have the option to choose.

Incredible. LittleSnitch is must-have for macOS and trying to get equivalent functionality on Linux was painful. So very happy to see this, and very happy to give the developers at Objective Development my money.

38% approval, roughly the same percentage of people who will support anything Trump does.

Literally the only thing that will get me to upgrade. My M1 MacBook Pro is a beast and I've felt no need to replace it.

I think it's worth giving people a tiny bit of grace on this. I've surprised people by explaining that the "Department of War" is just fascist fanfic and that the legal name has not changed.

It's a testament to the broken information ecosystem we're in that many people genuinely don't know this. Most will correct themselves when told. I agree with you that those who don't are not worth engaging.
