I'm not in web anymore but, to me, it seemed easier to visualize richly linked data in Angular than having a Django template render it. Once you have the mindset of making your website into an app, you are tempted to move navigation to the app too. That way your app can keep delivering its core user function without the interruption of a page load.
In retrospect it was slightly hubristic, as in reality you sometimes have to force reload SPA's, and if you're integrating on top of legacy systems that you just link to, you're not really avoiding the bad UX of a jarring page load. But I do find it elegant to separate presentation from data.
Will this impact B2B or just dramatically increase cost to business customers? Some industries require US-based supply chains, in my organization all our RAM and SSDs are Micron.
The primary reason I have switched is that creative writing has plummeted on ChatGPT. It is overly eager to censor output that isn't adult but might vaguely be adult if taken incorrectly. This severely limits creative freedom. On the other hand, Gemini happily writes my stories.
I am not sure who OpenAI aims to please by nerfing their own product in this way. It can't be paying customers.
there was that teen who died after chat supposedly encouraged him to do bad things and his parents are suing now. so maybe more controls are being put in place to reduce risk.
I would be surprised if bad customer experience handling were the reason OpenAI loses to Google. It's not like Google is known for their customer experience.
If one executive hire was all it took to steal a whole process node, TSMC could never have built the lead it has (nor Intel the lead it had in previous decades).
Semiconductor manufacturing is an exercise in blood, tears and careful note taking, not Magic Secrets.
> I told my friend about an erotic encounter I’d just experienced and very much delighted in, in which I had my hair brushed at the same time by two very beautiful women at the hair salon — one was teaching the other how to do it a certain way. When I finished my story, my friend looked at me, horrified.
I would look at her in horror too. My aversion to touching, being touched by, or even being in a close space with other people comes from exactly this sort of worry, that my presence is being used for some sort of sexual experience unbeknownst to me.
Some lines from the article gave me the ick.
> It is beautiful, unplanned and does not judge itself because it is an inert sensation, unimbued with premeditated meaning. This should liberate rather than frighten us.
I don't need to be told to free my mind just because I don't conform to your gooner sh*t.
> Only when we are unafraid can we begin to let desire flourish.
Oh okay, if I disagree with the author then I am just ~afraid~
It really seems to me that the author is internally dealing with sexual feelings and rationalizing them as social commentary, transforming her views into a critique of society and cancel culture, while simultaneously backing out and promising that MeToo was valid and that she was definitely not trying to say that MeToo was an overreaction (nice save author!)
>... that my presence is being used for some sort of sexual experience unbeknownst to me.
To me this sounds like you are afraid of that? Can you elaborate where that worry is rooted from? What is the problem of sexual experiences happening (automatically, it is literally in our DNA) inside their thoughts?
I don't see the author placing any judgement on people who are averse to their own erotic arousal. Rather, she is criticising people who are judgemental of other people who do experience and enjoy erotic arousal.
This is a threat model that needs to be discussed more. When you share personal information in a way linked to your identity, you should be aware that that link will exist forever. Can you trust custodians of your data forever?
4chan would be looking in the wrong direction since it has nothing for kids. Other games and game-like experiences are probably just as bad as Roblox and just haven't been brought out into the light. I personally remember Gaia Online being pretty bad back when I was a teen.
