And we learned nothing of previous hype cycles.

Enshitification in this area will be shift. And there will be grand articles here on HN “nobody could possibly have seen this coming.” Yes we did.

Meh, enshitification is the same, it just happen faster.

Which means the stuff that replace it will also happen faster.

Overall, the quality of the software is likely similar, since AI do not have purpose, and software still largely reflect human will and thinking.

Hear hear.

It seems so innocent. “Just an ad” but the whole influencing industry is kind of a nice word for “manipulation”

When the cost of manipulation is so low, and the repercussions for lying and cheating are not there, everything gets skewed.

It also sounds like people with little ability can use this argument as a way to say “look how difficult this is for humans”

While it’s just a “you” problem. Some folks have better skills, knowledge and comfort with difficult subjects. And that’s fine.

I have been going back some times to flickr and dropped insta, since it’s a crap place these days (like most of the big socials)

The elegance of flickr is just nice and browsing is fun.

I wonder if there are more sites like it.

Saw some other folks starting to use https://glass.photo

That looks really interesting! Ty for that link.

Welcome to the aesthetic world! In the western philosophical and certainly scientific discourse there has since centuries been this drive for objectivity and universals. This has led to great discoveries and thinking. But it’s not the only world, the aesthetic is all about the senses and your place as a subject. It usually invites relativism, sometimes nihilism if you can’t find your ground as an individual in a larger universe.

The world of beauty, art, peace, feeling states is worthy of discovery and like you say, it has a timeless quality.

That’s one good welcome! Even I feel welcomed and I have been hanging out in the music section for ages. Other than the music though I can relate to being a logical/rational person.

They try to make it feel like an “us” browser, but it just comes off as a corp trying to talk cool.

You have to walk the walk too Mozilla! Saying that as a FF for years.

The post yesterday about the teacher who gave students an Apple II and taught assembly was very enlightening and example of how to go forward.

I worked in a creative shop, so we sold a lot of colors of ink, paint, crayons etc.

It’s interesting to watch people trying to pick “red” when there is like a whole gamut of red. Not only that, but it depends on the lighting around as well. (Is it evening, day, what kind of lighting fixtures are there?)

Creatives usually have 10 kelvin white boxes for a neutral color experience. A bit like audio folks have calibrated monitor speakers.

Don’t know if this is an annoying response… but how about just going through the code and check and grade the quality yourself?

I could do, but the end goal is to scale this to 100x what I can do myself, and there isn't time to review all those changes. By attempting to answer the problem when it's tiny and I can still keep it in my head then I'll end up building something that works at scale.

Maybe. The point is that this is all new, and looking forwards I think it's worth figuring out this stuff early.

Fascinating
