> We wanted to save the Iranian people from the regime that murdered 100,000 peaceful protestors (don't ask for evidence)

At least 20,000 according to Amnesty International, other independent sources claim 40,000.

That says Iran clams 3,000, UN claim 5,000 and other sources claim higher.

I don't Amnesty putting their name behind any of those numbers but even the 20,000 is very hand wavey.

I don't see 40,000 claimed anywhere.

Can we agree on "thousands"?

This brings me back to the custom HP-48G applications with UIs made pixel-by-pixel. 3x5 letters where everywhere, but 3x4 and even 3x3 were used and were still legible:

What this article calls AI design traits are design patterns that were already very common before AI: gradients, centered hero, stat banner, all-caps heading, purple accent, etc. You can blame most of them on TailwindUI and shadcn.

Are we going to call 'AI slop' everything that doesn't reinvent design from zero for a marketing page?

John Perry Barlow‘S EFF surely did, but are you sure you can trust Nicole Orze’s EFF to fight for your rights if one of your sympathies doesn’t align with current California’s sensibilities? https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleozer

This is just a link to her LinkedIn. I don’t understand what I’m supposed to be looking for.

I don't see why the "nested containers" model would prevent this feature to be replicated, it's just a tree of nodes. Not edit-this-as-plain-text-simple but almost.

"As LLMs etc. are deployed in new situations, and at new scale, there will be all kinds of changes in work, politics, art, sex, communication, and economics."

For an article five years in the making, this is what I expected it to be about. Instead, we got a ramble about how imperfect LLMs are right now.

> Instead, we got a ramble about how imperfect LLMs are right now.

I wager this is a point that needs beaten into the common psyche. After all, it's been sold that it is not an imperfect tool, but the solution to all of our problems in every field forever. That's why these companies need billions upon billions of dollars of public subsidies and investments that would otherwise find their way to more pragmatic ends.

The post is just a prelude to a 10-part article, most of which is not yet released (but will be shortly). Judging by the table of contents, the things you expected will be elaborated on in subsequent parts.

That changes it. I missed that the table of contents was for other future articles, my bad.

That’s how the zombie apocalypse starts in many novels

Very weird.

Only in Spain there are 3k publishers. Argentina has 1k publishers.

And then we have huge amount of books published in spanish by Penguin Random House, Scholastic, Springer, etc.

People with a diagnosis for that syndrome are specifically allowed by the new rules

Indeed, that’s a barbaric custom, akin to genital mutilation, that should be reserved for a real medical necessity, never for religious reasons

It is literally a form of genital mutilation. The foreskin is homologous to the hood of the clitoris.
