1·7 days agoThis also points out the problem with using AI in the long term. Reddit’s basically become a micro model of what happens when LLMs start scraping LLM content for content. Fucking tech bros who believe they’re prophets somehow couldn’t have foreseen this.
Didn’t he spend a billion dollars on pixelated legs?
I’d argue early PC and 3rd-4th gen (NES to SNES era)
I had a film class prof warn us about the sheep’s eye scene but it didn’t make watching it get sliced with a razor much better.
I think Marvin would appreciate the sentiment.
Apple fanboys aren’t automatically swallowing everything they’re given? Probably a sign of the apocalypse.
It took reddit a month (to the day IIRC) to send me my data as well (like everything I’d ever written on the site) when I requested all my info just before I left. Must be some law that says a month in it somewhere.
Millennial here. The only thing surprising about a downward trend is that it didn’t start with Gen X and get progressively worse, to include us, with each generation.
Having less lead floating around probably helped raise the intelligence level a bit from when boomers were mainlining that shit from all the cars driving around.

yt hasn’t defeated uBo or revanced/morphe in the 2 years since this article came out.
like how you can’t mute shutter sounds on phones sold in Japan.
Except by downloading any of hundreds of camera apps. The only non-mutable sound is on the phone’s native camera.

Jeez, Daniel Gooooooch must be pretty pissed about this article revealing his name as an example pic.
Like I said when Zuck et al were on the inauguration stage kissing the orange ass: what’s the point of fuck you money if you never say fuck you?
It was just announced this week but she died 2 weeks ago on the 14th
In the early days of the USA it was a pirate nation, in many ways. There were Americans acting as privateers, basically pirates who were protected / supported by the US.
Oh, the year was 1778
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
A letter of marque came from the king
To the scummiest vessel I’ve ever seenGod damn them all, I was told
We’d cruise the seas for American gold
We’d fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s privateers
Guess you never ran across that kids book from the 70s. Apparently it also became a Seattle mascot. Anyway I never thought of it as a fancy word.
It’s an interesting theory, but it’s not so much the information density that bothers me, it’s the explosion of graphics everywhere, which feels dumbed down to me in the other direction. Like on the rakuten page I linked, it’s not good enough to list “3 awards” with bullet points and a small graphic, they need 2 screens worth of huge text next to trophies and stars. It’s like they don’t trust their customers to read something unless it’s got giant text the size you’d find in books for literal toddlers and exciting or cutesy graphics to grab your attention. I get standing out in marketing, but it feels unfocused, like they couldn’t decide on the couple things to highlight so you have to scroll past more than a dozen flashy banners to just click on the thing you’re already on the page to buy.
On a separate somewhat related note, the literalness or overexplanation of the information also feels too much. Like they can’t just have a simple title for a movie, manga, or webpage, they have to give a synopsis of the work in the title. Like how Pixar’s Up becomes “Old Man Carl’s Flying House”. Or a site about the history of chocolate isn’t just “History of chocolate and cocoa”, it becomes “What’s the history of chocolate? Also an explanation about the origins of cocoa”. There’s no extra info in that title, it’s just longer.
I get that it’s largely cultural, but if I could posit a theory it might just be like that because it’s always been like that, rooted in how Japan is so slow to change. Ad company shacho rejects ads that don’t barf colors because that’s what he saw in ads when he was growing up. If I could make a somewhat skewed analogy, US TV shows through the 2000s had laugh tracks, but now if a show does that it feels lowbrow, almost bordering on insulting.
Also not just a google problem. Kids raised on apps don’t really understand file structures, so if they can’t find a photo in the photo folder or pretty much anything else in the download folder, they don’t know what to do.
