I'm not sure if it's malice... but for sure they harmed RSS use a lot during the years.

The streaming trap is getting obvious at this point.

Indeed, fads come and go mainly to keep the circus running. You can't have growth with something nicely working and stable, change needs to be brought up to justify selling more.

Here we are... We're really close to crossing into this territory where any fiction can disguise itself for reality. The problem is that we'll literally be drowning in such content. The social impacts can't be underestimated.

When SEO and generated content meet... this isn't pretty. The amount of good content on the web reduced in the past decade, it looks like we're happily crossing another threshold in mediocrity.

Once more, an excellent piece from Cory Doctorow. Allowing DRM encumbered devices could only lead to the mess we're seeing nowadays.

This is clearly an uphill battle. And yes, this is because it's broken by design, it should be opt-in and not opt-out.

School bullying has a new tool to its belt... and this one is rather creepy.

Ironically, I think this is one of the best analysis I've seen regarding OpenAI and the recent turmoil around of one of its founders.

Excellent piece about everything which is wrong in the current industrialization moment of generative AI.

I fully agree with this. All those doomsayers about AI are there to sell something willingly or not. Let's look at the current threats we're seeing now, not the imaginary ones being the results of people taking SciFi a bit too literally.

I never liked the "it's neutral, it's just a tool". A very naive view in my opinion. New illustration of this with Twitter. Tools are inserted in a socio-technical system, and the sociology side will influence the design enough to make the tool not so neutral. Here clearly all hell broke loose and it became a massive danger to democracy due to the level of misinformation and the type of messages which are advantaged by the changes.

An important read in my opinion. This whole manifesto from Andreesen is just ludicrous and this explains very well why. In any case we need more techno-pragmatists and less techno-optimists.

Healthy criticism of where our industry went. Engineers should exhibit curiosity on how the sausage is made, not just blindly use tools they don't understand.

The risks of too much automation... this is chilling to see what using machine learning based system all the way can lead to. It's just a ridiculous situation and no way to get out of it.

The first signs of journalism finding some independence from social media? That would be very welcome.

OK, this is a very bleak view... maybe a bit over the top I'm unsure. There seems to be some truth to it though.

Looks like the morbid fascination for microservices is fading. This is very welcome. This piece is a good criticism of this particular fad and gives an interesting theory of why it came to be.

More details are surfacing regarding async and Rust... definitely not a match in heaven it seems.

Clearly a list of concerns to keep an eye on for wider Matrix adoption. Clearly some basics are not covered still.
