I've never seen an AI video that made me feel anything other than bland dread. What were you generating that was so entertaining? Had you ever actually developed creative skills before?

Please don't cross into personal attack. Your comment would be fine without the swipe at the end.

I think you’re fumbling on an important distinction.

Sometimes people want to paint, sometimes people want a painting.

To have wonderful time with their mom… I bet they had absolutely zero interest in the act and process of making silly videos.


Totally. This wasn't a situation where a stranger was slopping another stranger, it was a mother and son doing something fun together.

I get your point but it goes too far in the opposite direction. We should now discuss absolutely nothing in relation to Sora and genAI videos? That seems overly charitable to the platform.

Here, let me try this approach:

Read the main comment out loud to yourself while imagining it’s someone sitting at a table at a pub.

Now imagine someone turning to this person in the pub, and speaking the subsequent comment, word for word.

No seriously, try it out.


Agreed. I did try this out! So the reply to the original comment is dumb. I actually dismissed it for being flippant.

Your reply is more interesting. Hence my (albeit maybe snarky) chiming in. So the original comment does end at a very specific app/sora related conclusion. "Sora didn't keep us coming back."

If I may amend your scenario: imagine this bar is actually in the center of SF or across the street from Open-AI or whatever. We're on HN discussing a post on X about Sora.

The appeal to humanity is not wrong. My point is more let's keep the connection with that humanity in relation to AI, to Sora, to what's going on in this forum.


Come on now...'We're curing cancer, right?!'

You didn't at least puff a little ack through your nostrils for that one?


The default mail app on Windows is now called Outlook for Windows, no relation to the Outlook in Office (sorry, Microsoft 365 Copilot), and it's a significantly worse barely functional webview. It also replaced the entire Calendar app, which was decent.

A fun thing to do is convince a model to fluidly switch between character sets to express ideas as 'efficiently' as possible. It likes to use Chinese hanzi a lot for abstract concepts. I've also seen Gemini use them unprompted in the middle of an English sentence.

AIs code switching between human languages is cyberpunk AF.

Recently someone did the incredible work of getting Photoshop to run perfectly in Wine, but it looks like the original reddit post detailing it got removed for legal reasons (which is nonsense, it doesn't make piracy any easier). Adobe seems to actively work against any efforts to run their software on Linux.

Funny to see w3schools.com ranking above Twitter.

For a lot of sites Firefox's reader mode is great at bypassing paywalls, just turn it on & refresh

This is why I always read the comments here.

Android uses the 'share' icon to represent the same thing, which is maybe a little more legible, but still feels like shoving way too many actions under a confusing modal they shouldn't be in. Even worse when apps implement a custom share dialog.


I usually see the Android share icon with the word share. Apple doesn't often present words with icons, so if you don't already know what the icon means, it's difficult to find out.

Arguably, it's a bit off that you share a document with a printer in order to print it, but I feel like printing is no longer so common as to require a dedicated button everywhere; and printing from a phone still seems like a novelty to me (but I do use it; it feels odd, but useful and I know lots of people have no computer to print from)


As of a few years ago, you could simply spoof your MAC to that of a Comcast subscriber with these and you'd get unrestricted access on the hotspot.


Im not 100% sure but I think for captive portal this would def work. For the authenticated wpa3 or whatever i think theyve actually added 802.1x


Maybe because the large time investment and trial+error in making good dough provided something to focus on when stuck inside.
