The industry is still learning how to even use the tech.

Just like blockchain, right? That killer app's coming any day now!

as someone who never really understood The Big Deal With SPAs (aside from, like, google docs or whatever) i'm at least taking solace in the fact that like a decade later people seem to be coming around to the idea that, wait, this actually kind of sucks

“We want to make sure that you see great content, that you’re posting great content, and that you’re interacting with the community,” he says.

I feel like using the phrase "great content" unironically is sort of a tell that someone has no idea what makes 'content' 'great' in the first place

Relatedly (and relevant to this article) I feel like the funniest part of the whole AI bubble has been executives repeatedly unwittingly revealing that they could be replaced by a simple computer program

If it's an improvement over current lemmy UI, I'll take it lol. It's not like standard-lemmy-ui is some old-Reddit-interface-style minimalist barebones thing, but the "new-reddit-ness" doesn't bother me too much personally.

The main reason I can't stand the actual new.reddit is because it collapses threads after like 2-3 replies, and then when you go back out of a sub-thread it has a tendency to lose your place. I'm assuming it's some kind of stupid growth hack on Reddit's part to prevent people from reading comments for too long (not enough ads in the comments section!)

So as long as this one doesn't have that stupid behavior, I'm fine with it lol

Yud’s brilliant response is that this makes no sense to describe this as trauma, because you don’t get traumatized by physics class, right?

Isn't this literally formally fallacious? "There exist non-traumatizing true things" doesn't imply "all true things are non-traumatizing."

Ordinarily I'm not one to harp on logical fallacies, but come on Yudkowsky, you're supposed to be Mr. Rational!

this is long and meandering on purpose

Well, at least they admit it.

During the interview, Kat openly admitted to not being productive but shared that she still appeared to be productive because she gets others to do work for her. She relies on volunteers who are willing to do free work for her, which is her top productivity advice.

Productivity pro tip: you can get a lot more done if you can just convince other people to do your work for you for free
