Are you kind of implying that you can have a bank account without internet access in 2026? Extremely disingenuous
Re:Company as Code on Thursday February 05, 2026 @09:56AM (#46900324)
I feel like this is kind of missing the point that companies are mainly a group of humans and their roles and responsibilities matter to them emotionally. Managing those expectations and feelings can only be done by other humans that feel empathy (good managers) and abstracting such relationships onto something that can be "versioned, queried, tested, and automatically verified" might create a shitty soulless place to work.

It is only "literally AI slop" if you widen the definition to include anything made using computers. That is not an honest take on what content made with AI is.

The original author chose those assets and that background, other people made those assets on the first place and had to take a ton of tiny creative choices that changed the final thing and help transmit ideas and feelings (of uncanniness, vulgarity, surrealism, whatever).

Anyone can tell the difference between one and the other.

no is not, the original is full of personality and ideas even if its poorly drawn and kitsch.

This is 100% AI slop, cool story and all but I'd 100 times rather see a very poorly drawn 2007 animation than any of this.

Re:Root for Your Friends on Saturday May 24, 2025 @06:19AM (#44080068)
This feels like advice for the most basic level of empathy (support your friends) with the cherry on top of AI slop as the opener. Americans sure are something else.
Re:Car companies are in a billion-dollar software war on Monday May 12, 2025 @07:35AM (#43961883)
It is funny that developers are always looking at the processes of car making to improve their own extremely broken ways and now it is car-makers that "should" be trying to be more like the agile software devs.

As a dev the last thing I want is a software-defined car. Look what we did to TVs.
