"Explain in simple terms" works.
Kings come and go. These types of decisions can actually kill a king. Not instantly, of course. But still.
This sent me down a rabbit hole. In the US, the PIIA effectively is the law - your employer gets to decide whether your side project "relates to their business." In the EU (where I am) it's basically: not on a work laptop, not on work hours? Yours.

I'm fine here :)

Re:ChatGPT Pro now starts at $100/month on Thursday April 09, 2026 @02:25PM (#47707535)
They are actively exploiting the compute shortages of Anthropic. In our team we're pushing for more or less vanilla and portability, since the best harness today might not be the best one in 6 months.
Re:Claude Code is locking people out for hours on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @01:28PM (#47678633)
I'm more surprised that OpenAI is extremely subsidising their ChatGPT subscriptions. With Plus you can do a lot more than with Calude's x5 Max. Is it an expense they just can afford, while people have not migrated over from CC?

For those who see this tomorrow (not on April 1st) or are watching it on mobile, where it's stock kagi - here's a screenshot: https://f.laacz.lv/C4C1NkU

This will be gone tomorrow and it's not visible on mobile (shows classic Kagi homepage). So here's a screenshot: https://f.laacz.lv/C4C1NkU
Re:Modern CSS Code Snippets: Stop writing CSS like it's 2015 on Sunday February 15, 2026 @03:39PM (#47027312)
Is it just me or gradients and tile grid with specific hover effects are AI generated stuff giveaways? Maybe it's old people yelling at clouds, but I'm very reluctant to trust the site, when I see these signs.

Judging from the performance issues with Claude Code, you won't be able to run a decent agentic cli or desktop workflow orchestrator on anything other than mbp.

Re:Is it a bubble? on Friday December 19, 2025 @06:28PM (#46332185)
An economist friend recently said. If it bursts, it's definitely a bubble. If it does not burst, then it's not a bubble.
Re:Anthropic Acquires Bun on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @01:24PM (#46124496)
I hope they have a clause regarding what to do if Anthropic and Bun should part. Looking for sponsor is one thing, bet direction and velocity might not align in future. Which is what I'm most afraid of tbh.
Recently I've used Claude Code to perform some entry to mid level web-based CTF hunting in a fully autonomous mode (--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions in an isolated environment). It excels at low hanging fruit - XSS, other injections, IDOR, hidden form fields, session fixation, careful enumeration, etc.
Re:SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search on Thursday November 13, 2025 @04:30PM (#45920849)
Which troubles me a bit, as 'bad' does not have same definition for everyone.
Re:SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search on Thursday November 13, 2025 @03:46PM (#45920299)
Then the fight Kagi is proposing is against bad AI content, not AI content per-se? Then that's very subjective...
Re:SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search on Thursday November 13, 2025 @03:43PM (#45920268)
Should we care? It's a tool. If you can manage to make it look original, then what can we do about it? Eventually you won't be able to detect it.
Re:SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search on Thursday November 13, 2025 @02:56PM (#45919706)
Though I'm still pissed at Kagi about their collaboration with Yandex, this particular kind of fight against AI slop has always striked me as a bit of Don Quixote vs windmill.

AI slop eventually will get as good as your average blogger. Even now if you put an effort into prompting and context building, you can achieve 100% human like results.

I am terrified of AI generated content taking over and consuming search engines. But this tagging is more a fight against bad writing [by/with AI]. This is not solving the problem.

Yes, now it's possible somehow to distinguish AI slop from normal writing often times by just looking at it, but I am sure that there is a lot of content which is generated by AI but indistinguishable from one written by mere human.

Aso - are we 100% sure that we're not indirectly helping AI and people using it to slopify internet by helping them understand what is actually good slop and what is bad? :)

We're in for a lot of false positives as well.

Re:Ratfactor's Illustrated Guide to Folding Fitted Sheets on Sunday August 10, 2025 @05:24AM (#44853922)
T-shirt folding is nice et al, but its final size is ok only for normal-sized shirts. With this method XL and larger t-shirts don't fold into neat small things.

I suppose that Simon, being all in with LLMs for quite a while now, has developed a good intuition/feeling for framing questions so that they produce less hallucinations.
No it’s not, since it’s been acquired by essentially government.
