wild that universe is shutting down. ~10k ratings, editors choice app. they brought an incredible WYSIWYG, direct manipulation experience to mobile website building. what happened?

イネス⎔@personhood.removal.surgery · last mo.LLM web design slopectomy lifehack: tell it that it's not allowed to write any actual text during the design phase, is only allowed to use these five fonts, and that the design must work without text. iterate on layout first and only add text bit by bit once that's palatable.
the sad progression of captcha tech. at one time we were digitizing books for collective value. now we’re performing unpaid RLHF

ed zitron is a commentary guy with a newsletter, not a mass media news organization. you can just ignore him; that so many people can't is the interesting part.
dame@dame.is · 2mo agoed zitron is a slop-generating small language model that turns progressive people into the equivalent of boomers who mainline fox news
you can have so much fun just on your phone with rootshell for management + tmux for keeping an rc session going, claude mobile app with the code tab (for nice gui), and cloudflare mcp for managing sites
kinda crazy the key frame they chose is of the aftermath of a mass murder event
just let people create, unbounded. let their ideas bloom for only themselves, no one or everyone, doesn’t matter.
gaudy, disgusting UI. trashy font. to think you’d spend $100k to stare at this shit is wild to me

today i saw ‘Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs by Frederic William Burton,’ an 1864 watercolor (!) that is only viewable 1hr a day at the national gallery of ireland
- the fact that the books are not widely desired is an even stronger case for their preservation imo - why does anyone want to be on team “destroy human history?”
