this captured the sentiment of my first reaction as well
I love how this redirects attention from familiar patterns in a wholesome direction

enjoyed the article. this was both fascinating from a technical perspective, and repulsive from a food perspective

I just heard about this company for the first time. the energy does feel inspiring
I love this energy, and love how it seems to be resonating with others too. seems a more whole and life-giving than the intellectual EA vibe

excellent interactive education content. this reminded me of the steam engine exhibits at the science museum in London

I have a similar thought too each time I walk past piles of discount books.

I'm in the camp that perhaps it's healthy to not grasp onto every bit of information. that some artifacts dying a natural death is maybe just the way things are

Re:Can AI design circuit boards yet? on Friday September 04, 2026 @05:50PM (#49570655)

this observation is insightful and worth calling out. this paints the picture of a future I'm not excited about

I enjoyed it! for a big corporation, that's a well-executed video

I feel you. not sure if the "Glimmer" (of hope) branding is intentional to capture this vibe

good to call out this sleight of hand in their wording

the Ken Liu story linked in the article is actually spot on. would recommend giving that a quick read

I laughed. underrated comment
