> There’s a certain type of person who reacts with rage when anyone points out flaws with <thing>. Why is that?
FIFY, it's not endemic to here or LLMs. point out Mac issues to an Apple fan, problems with a vehicle to <insert car/brand/model> fan, that their favorite band sucks, that their voted representative is a PoS.
Most people aren't completely objective about everything and thus have some non-objective emotional attachment to things they like. A subset of those people perceive criticism as a personal attack, are compelled to defend their position, or are otherwise unable to accept/internalize that criticism so they respond with anger or rage.
the simple answer would be that "AI is in use everywhere"
Though I'd love to see an analysis of pre-gpt writing to see if it was more prevalent than we remember but lacked the acute sensitivity to it.
There's also the potential that AI started it but people read AI stuff and organically propagate AI tropes in their own words because it's part of the writing they consume.
Is this newsworthy? he seems pretty par-for-the-course in this administration. "Trump appointee completely normal and levelheaded" seems more newsworthy, which is sad because that sounds like an "Onion" article headline.
wasn't "panic" buy but I built a new comp early 2025, cuz at worst case would be complete supply crash and at best case it was going to be more expensive.
Def don't regret doing that, though I regret not springing for the extra RAM.
Assembled a computer last year and lament not forking out to max the ram. Prices do appear to be down, at it's highest it was about 4x the price I originally paid right now it's closer to 2x the price.
Never heard of the radio thing. I suspect LoRA has already eclipsed LoRa in general usage. It's probably more appropriate to complain on a LoRa post that it's too close to LoRA.
I'm actually very surprised, even if it was costing money. Their technological moat has turned out to be much more shallow than expected and competition fiercer. At the moment I think their greatest asset is brand and engagement. With a popular product and a deal with Disney seemed like a slam dunk on remaining prominent in the brand space and retaining user engagement.
Not only have they thrown out a name everyone knew, and exited the market segment, but they've also triggered Netflix/Google graveyard woes. "We may not maintain products you like". This could make people wary of buying into new products, "will it be there in a year?"
