Watching an 80s movie w/my 8yo yesterday and he said “why is this movie all white people?” and it just made me really grateful for modern kids’ media where he sees kids who look like him *all the time*.

There’s a reason why flattery works! It’s the core to any con game , the mark has to think theyre too smart to be conned and the con man has to flatter him that he is

Biggest realization for me with LLMs is that many people are desperate to be flattered

The quoted meme of red-button choice with the fuck AI option extended:
"RAM & storage prices return to normal & capital loses power & energy & water & land are less wasted & critical thinking is less damaged & oligarches lose a major avenue for propaganda & fewer people experience psychotic breaks & creativity is actually valued & the code that materally impacts your life has fewer bugs &" the last line is partially cropped

Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

A screenshot from the official Mozilla blog that reads: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.
