Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Apple Intelligence and the first versions of Gemini are the perfect examples of this.

iOS still doesn’t do what was sold in the ads, almost a full year later.

Edit: also things like email summary don’t work, the email categories are awful, notification summaries are straight up unhinged, and I don’t think anyone asked for image playground.

Insert 'Full Self Driving' Here.

Also, outlook's auto alt text function told me that a conveyor belt was a picture of someone's screen today.

Calling it “Full Self Driving” is such blatant false advertising.

Add Amazon's Alexa+ to that list. It's nearly a year overdue and still nowhere in sight.
