Completely missing the other costs associated with any of these things. If money was enough to “feed the hungry” Musk or Gates would have already done it. The real problem is systemic injustice, like governments stealing foreign aid that’s meant to go to the poor. Money can’t always solve these.

Time is more valuable than money and unless you have tons of time and space that simulator is just an expensive paperweight.


Agree, I find AI valuable for writing reports on the behavior of features in our codebase, but I’ve started sharing the prompt at the top of the file before sending it out, and reviewing the content line by line to catch obvious errors.

The criticism is that this is a respectable project, so when you read obvious AI tells like “Honestly, …”, or “Flipper One isn't an upgrade to Flipper Zero — it's a completely different project with its own goals” in the first few paragraphs, it’s distracting and takes away from the content.

A simple fix I use for AI writing is disclosing it. Here, a simple note that “this article was translated with AI assistance” would have made it much less distracting.


You're biased. AI was trained on a well-written professional texts which used these phrases and speech patterns, it was very common before the AI-generated texts. These speech patterns especially common for Russian speakers.

The thing is, those are human-used words. Overused by AI, but very much not exclusive. Especially the way they were used here felt very different from slop as they made perfect sense.

Surprised the article doesn’t mention the McCormick Bridgehouse Museum. It’s something like $5, and you can see the inside of one of those bridges.

You can go on bridge lift days during the fall + spring and see inside the engine room while the bridge goes up.


Could work in a patent office or something.


Young man I’m going to give you a piece of life advice. You don’t throw your money away on something frivolous like that. You buy a long term, safe investment, like FartCoin.


I don't know if you're joking but FartCoin hasn't shown returns all year.


You don’t buy FartCoin for the short term gains, you buy it for the long term. For example it’s down over the past hour, but if you look long term (past day) it’s up.

And yes of course I’m joking. If you’re spending money on these get rich quick schemes instead of dollar cost averaging into an index fund, you’re being irresponsible. That’s real advice.


Mine was a joke too, sorry. I was just trying to go along with your bit.


Ah sorry. Irony is dead these days.


“expanding”


that's what I get for writing on my phone. Thanks!


Starting the AI slop cleanup early


Hahaha


Mike is Harvey’s genius mentee in “Suits”


I had a chuckle at the domain name, mikeoss.com


Aaahhh perhaps Legora broke my connection with suits :)


https://gitcharts.com shows ~310 million public repos today, vs. 250 million in April 2025 (according to the wayback machine).

Large increase, but nothing existential.
