  Yup, everyone (including me) strongly wants to deny the usefulness of ai, but the fact is that ai is already quite useful, and is only becoming more useful over time. There are a zillion moral problems with ai, but the usefulness of its output is obvious.

  E.g. For years I've been considering paying someone to make a small app for me that does one specific thing, but recently i asked ai to do it and boom - it created an app that did exactly what i wanted. It even suggested some good features which i then said yes to and it made the app even better. And when i think of a new feature i just say "add this new feature", and it does. Occasionally the outputted app doesn't work, and i just say "now the audio doesn't work, fix it" and it does. So far there was only one one feature i asked it to do that it failed at.

  This makes no sense to me. If you don't like glare on your phone then just get a matte screen protector. If you specifically want e-ink then just get a small ebook device that's a similar size to this case.

  I just don't see a use case

  At a bare minimum it has to be related to a tool or functionality of a tool. So you could stretch the definition to things on a stream, but not to a convention of celebrities

  I don't see how this is clickbait, the title doesn't have a missing noun or say anything inflammatory

  As a mod obviously you're the one that gets to decide for this community. This is obviously not technology, but whatever, you get to do what you want here

  That may be what it says in the sidebar, but this is objectively not technology

  Not technology

  Is it? The squirt at least seems 'fresh', the splatter seems like what's left after the act is done

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emoji Recently Added 🫩⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Splatter - oh no. Oh no no
