That's to be expected. Google needs that money to fund the AI development that will enable them to replace creators with their own slop, allowing them to pocket 100 % instead of sharing anything at all.
Okay, well I guess clout-chasing was the whole point, as evidenced by the Github repo front page going on about "star counts" all over. Great job, who cares?
I don't think it is unreasonable to ask where all the great AI built software is. There has been comments here on HN about people becoming 30 to 50 times more productive than before.
To put a statement like that into perspective (50 times more productive): The first week of the year about as much was accomplished as the whole previous year put together.
I can confirm that this is the exact method recommended in forums where people and businesses that meet adversity from banks on a daily basis (most of the time for completely legitimate businesses, sometimes not) congregate to share advice.
The point is to feed the compliance critters exactly what they want so they can tick their boxes without sticking their necks out.
I can't see any reason why Google would send traffic anyones way in the future. "Search results" will turn into a "Citations" list at the bottom of the page for the excessively curious, and probably look like it does on a page like Wikipedia. Meanwhile 98 % of the "results" page will be AI-generated and ad-ridden. Ads will be inserted into the AI content as recommendations because why not?
It's a fascinating thought that so much of all online content is created for the consumption of bots instead of humans. Because the bots are the gatekeepers to what gets shown to real humans, the bots need to be pleased first.
I'm just glad that we are finally past the "Who was the 29th president of the United States" and "Draw something in the style of Van Gogh" LLM evaluation test everyone did in 2022-2023.
Ha, I was just about to go in here and say the same thing.
"Fortunately" some "white hat" hacker contacted us last year about another Metabase exploit. I gave him a 30 USD tip and ended up doing exactly what you are suggesting.
Now I'm glad that means I don't need to interrupt my vacation to fix this thing right now.
This comment saved me from just ordering a IQAir outdoor monitor. Great timing. I'd like an outdoor unit that supports PoE (which the IQAir monitor has) because I'm definitely not going around replacing batteries all the time, but that seems hard to come by, so I might have to give up my attempts at measuring air pollution from the side of my house.
I don't think so. The Home PC generation is way more technically literate than the generation after that grew up with the smartphone, where the elementary interaction has been reduced to just three basic steps that always work: 1) lift and look at phone 2) swipe finger up 3) press the dopamine er - Instagram - button
