Amazing to re-watch

"I cannot wait to castrate a 3000 pound bull as it kicks my head in"

How I feel about merging an AI-generated PR these days and waiting for the issues

how we take the stability of our payments infrastructure for granted.

I was about to comment we should all closely watch those bank statements and balances...

While I'm OK with the use of AI to understand the COBOL codebase, I understand it's a single prompt away from transformation and production. Just one executive approval away ha.

This is what I find hilarious when these articles assess "factual" knowledge..

We are at the realm of semantic / symbolic where even the release article needs some meta discussion.

It's quite the litmus test of LLMs. LLMs just carry humanities flaws

It’s bit ironic that big tech invests so much in politics and engineers act like it’s beneath them. All technological progress tends to be political with its policy winds

To test this theory, try the following experiment. Ask someone who just spent 10 minutes on the Wikipedia article for Turkey for an interesting fact about the country, then ask someone who just came back from a 10 day vacation to Istanbul. Probably both will tell you something equally interesting, with the former being more generally relevant and the latter being more charming or topical. Of course this is wildly unfair—we should give the web surfer 10 days of reading time and ₺100,000 liras to spend as well, but they simply don't need it to win.

Was this written by some AI or LLM because what kind of logic is that? Someone who travels vs. who reads? Is that an even worthy experiment? No..

Less structure, more intelligence.

Let Manus handle the work — you focus on the decisions

As a general comment I am getting tired of AI wishy washy slop. Just tell me how you crunch the tokens and benefits. The marketing has gotten cliche.

The time to cough up $100 or $200/month is when you've exhausted your $20/month quota and you are frustrated at getting cut off. At that point you should be able to make a responsible decision by yourself.

These kinds of articles should focus on use case because mileage may vary depending on maturity of idea, testing and host of other factors.

If the app, service, or whatever is unproven, that's a sunk cost on macbook vs. 4 weeks to validate an idea which is a pretty long time.

If the idea is sound then run it on macbook :)

I'm curious who the target expert or market is because I would not carry that clunky metal around.

The whole thing is terrible + a dedicated OS for "certain" work?

Price tag $2k? I would rather buy the Apple pouch.
