Domain-specific solutions require you to understand the problem, which requires domain expertise and/or user research.
But that requires decision-makers to admit ignorance.
Bolting an LLM onto every product doesn't require understanding the problem AND makes investors happy you're "innovating."

It's maddening hearing folks talk about LLM use-cases within their tools that would seem to be so much more effectively and reliably addressed by simple domain-specific implementations of solutions.

Looks like Notion shipped a click effect experiment with Button blocks. Access the 6-dot menu and "Click effect" to add confetti. It's the little things.

I've set aside time this holiday break to migrate off of streaming platforms and go back to buying direct from artists. Was dreading this, but platforms are making it easier to decide. They are anti-human and anti-creativity. Fuck my convenience; I should lose it for being a non-supporter for years.
Pretty infuriating: King Gizzard quit Spotify over ethical concerns -- and now Spotify is letting AI knockoffs of its music (with all the lyrics copied verbatim) proliferate on its platform

King Gizzard Pulled Their Music From Spotify in Protest, and Now Spotify Is Hosting AI Knockoffs of Their Songs
An impersonator appears to be using generative AI to poorly clone rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's iconic sound on Spotify.

People really struggle with complexity because we're taught that everything can be simplified. So when things aren't simple, we become paralyzed. When a system is complex, the best thing we can do is take small dousing action to identify opportunity; build sub-systems to test aspects of the system.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

Apois traga seu esmalte e seu palitinho porque essa história começou lá em janeiro, quando eu tinha 2 CDBs no banco que estavam perto do vencimento e a corretora ficou me avisando "ei, que tal reinvestir?"

One of the truest productivity unlocks is reclaiming definitions of productivity from tech.
Much of the fabric of a functional society is in its ability to provide meaningful busy work to everyone, not remove it.
Design for boring.
Encourage play.
Slow down.
Pause.
Rest.
*My* productive.

every piece of mass-market software these days feels like living with an unruly pet where you have to constantly stop what you're doing to check if it's secretly eating plastic under the dresser again

I am not a "tech critic". I am an antifascist, a feminist, an anticapitalist, an engineer. My criticism of tech flows from my politics and values. Not from a desire to save or destroy tech. Tech is an expression of power and that's what the whole conversation is about.
