The "You're not x. You're y." format reads as AI generated to me. I know that seeing AI syntax behind every corner is a problem that is only going to get worse and that I need to shift my mindset; nevertheless, it tinged how I reacted to the entire article.
BigCorps could do a lot of things under a new regime, but they are already doing shitty things. I'd rather deal with the current problems and then see if/what kind of new issues crop up, and then course-correct then.
GRRM is already beating them at that game by publishing a new book in the series every couple decades. That might become a common tactic in such a copyright environment
I've been waiting for solutions that integrate into the artistic process instead of replacing it. Right now a lot of the focus is on generating a complete image, but if I was in photoshop (or another editor) and could use AI tooling to create layers and other modifications that fit into a workflow, that would help with consistency and productivity.
I haven't seen the latest from adobe over the last three months, but last I saw the firefly engine was still focused on "magically" creating complete elements.
I agree that screenshots of text that are cut off from essential context are enough to make me pull my hair out, it creates so much extra work— but the modern feature of automatic text recognition in screenshots and images that allows for copy and paste has been incredible. Along with indexing that allows it to be searched, regular screenshots have become one of the most robust and future proof ways for me to preserve context from my workspace. When I look back into archived screenshots it helps me to recapture all kinds of things that I wouldn’t have thought to explicitly record.
Perverse incentives is right. Like having a fiercely loyal Superfan. Maybe it sheds some light on behavior among celebrities, actually. It makes sense that we want validation, and that sometimes hearing grounded feedback is bitter medicine - but if we're allowed to choose the option that always endorses our actions then we're on a divisive path.
Yep this seems like it makes a lot of sense— and adding on, picking a measurement means that all of them can be the same (consistency, as you said)- having variation in the same row would look bad from a distance
I've been looking for good examples of handbooks and staff materials that do the job well, this one seems a little heavy on the philosophy - I can see why it's been discussed as more of a recruitment tool. Anyone who has favorite examples of handbooks to link, I'd love to check them out.
My first acquaintance with Replit was the services they were building for teachers and schools to teach coding and support the high school level with making environments available and shareable. They had a great platform in place but they took the whole thing down as part of their pivot.
As I read your reply, I couldn’t help but think of the number of spontaneous photos I’ve been able to capture over the last decade because a camera is now built into my phone and available wherever I am. I still carry my camera a lot of the time, and for those who keep missing photos that depend on an instant shutter perhaps that would be a good move— but it’s hard to see how the effort to integrate a camera into phones is acting as a limit instead of expanding one
Oh it's certainly great having a camera in your phone. But it feels artificially crippled by all this fiddly software and tapping and swiping and reacting to the many screens you have to navigate through to get there. Great to hear newer phones have a hardware camera button, even if it does just open the app, that's still a big step forward.
