This is the exact problem — I bet vibe coding for a brand new type of iPhone is a super fun time without an AI that has stolen and trained on 100,000 posts from stackoverflow.
It's weird seeing AI bubbles across the world begin to collapse in real-time because AI continually needs more input to function, every time it's used its trained and becomes shittier, but nobody's writing their own code now, so it's a death spiral for everyone who needs claude to work
This is the exact problem — I bet vibe coding for an iPhone that has two different screen layouts was a super fun time without stealing and ingesting 100,000 posts from stackoverflow.

If he runs I'm running against him just so I can wipe the floor with him.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that Ryan Tubridy would be 'very welcome' to enter the world of politics, after the former Late Late Show host joked that every night he goes to bed "dreaming some day" he will reclaim his grandfather's seat in Galway West. www.thejournal.ie/ryan-tubridy...

The recent exponential decrease in the cost of solar energy is probably as important an event in human history as the developments of computers, the discovery of DNA, antibiotics, you name it. We've completely solved energy production, forever , we just need time to implement it.
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
You can buy 1kw of solar for €200 — just unbelievably cheap , and that will be €120 in two years. It's cheaper to use panels than it is to repair a fence!

"Consensual hugs" — the point is they were NOT consensual, that's the whole problem in the first place. Tóibín comes across like a groomer instead of a politician.
Adverts run by the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre looking at consensual hugs between children and their grandparents has been suspended after criticism. Aontú's Peader Tóibín called the ad "bonkers", as he urged a "need to build resilience" among children. www.thejournal.ie/grandparents...

One of my favourite ideas in the whole book, along with the collapse of cable TV under the weight of too many horrible advertisements
In “Infinite Jest” (a book you can’t reference w/o seeming to brag, but so be it) DFW imagines that once video calls become common, a huge mask industry develops b/c nobody wants their face to be seen at random moments, until everybody realizes they’d just rather not.
