Yes, he is clearly right about all of this.

Very much this. And maybe start caring as well. This might be the main problem: many people just don't care.
But to me, the issue is that we have an overabundance of content, and most content is not worth paying for. Most content is not worth anything.
Harsh but absolutely true.
Puh, I don't know. A Social Media platform run by an ad agency?
This is good! (And seems underreported?)

Everybody linked to this lately and it's not hard to see why: it is very pretty and it says people should have websites.

This is genius.

It's getting worse and worse.
As we say in Germany: "Tja."
Christ, what an asshole.

Everybody links to and praises this article and for good reason. To oppose AI is to be human.
Very well-written collection of good points about "AI"
It does introduce hard to notice bugs 10x faster, though

It is. Stop it.
Who would have guessed.
When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.
These people—broadly—are behaving like idiots.
Ah, yes. Idiots who think they're smart are really the most annoying. Sometimes it's okay to just be an idiot.
I'm dismayed every time I see content that I like being published on Substack. (Or any other big content platform to be honest. But Substack in particular.)

Just like Roy says: that's the kind of web that is actually interesting. Not the couple of big social media sites.
So much bullshit everywhere

Oh, absolutely.
Leah is absolutely right about this.
Good god.

I hardly ever open Bluesky but Jay Graber fascinates me
I love this approach. Let them choke on garbage.
This is why we can't have nice things.

I agree 100%
Very much so
Yeah, it's all a bit embarrassing. I still vastly prefer Apple stuff over the other ecosystems but who knows for how long. I already know I probably won't replace my Apple Watch when it gets old and/or breaks.

An old article, but I have been thinking about that lately.
Who would have thought.
Hm. I see where he's coming from and I think I agree. But I need to think about it a bit more.
