Try https://lobste.rs/, not completely without ai news but much better.

I hoped so but there's a well-used "vibecoding" tag there and an admonishing/narrow focus that excludes many other interesting topics. A site needs some of that but they are strict to the point the place is kinda barren.

e.g. I recently submitted a page about new FOSS-oriented hardware and it was rejected as "business news - offtopic." Well, no wonder this place is a ghost town.

I like Lobsters' design and would love to switch over, but it's still invite-only… I guess it works for them but it feels elitist to an anti-social nerd like me.

It's also kind of hard to know if you already know someone who could give you an invite, since I don't really know the online handles of people I know in meatspace. I've resigned myself to maybe someday getting something posted that gets picked up there and asking for an invite at that time.

The RSS feeds though are pretty neat, it's what I use to fetch articles for archiving so that I can get a curated set of things to read on the go.

email me, i got you :)

I'll send you an invite, send me an email to the address in my bio.

How do you get invited?

You can try hanging out on the Libera IRC network in their channel.

I was in there for years but never got invited... all I got was banned for having an opinion that was different than theirs.

"The world is full of makers. Only a few make the world."

What does this mean ? How can you make the world ?

In FreeBSD it was `make world` in /usr/src.

Bloody cperciva put an end to that.

It means nothing. The LLM thought it was edgy.

LLMs are not yet capable of generating the level of marketing wankery seen here.

What do you mean, that's pretty much everything LLMs generate

"Nothing wasted. Everything intentional."

That's the most ChatGPT line ever, where everything has to be a cringy punchline

"A machine like this should not sit still. It should be pushed. Taken to the edge. Used to make real what others call impossible."

I really hope no human would write something like that

I don't think I've ever seen LLM output as bad as this output. They sometimes write like that, but not every second sentence.

> I really hope no human would write something like that

I see you haven't interacted with marketing people. I can 100% believe that some marketing person wrote the copy.

> I really hope no human would write something like that

Sorry to shatter your hopes but any garbage an LLM writes is mimicry of some human written garbage that came before.

It can only write cringe because we taught it what cringe looks like

> "A machine like this should not sit still. It should be pushed. Taken to the edge."

"Taken to the edge, and pushed off this edge. To garbage bin."

Don't you understand? They fired their marketing copy writers, that's over $550k/year in savings! Imagine how much they can save tomorrow.

Contrast hooks everywhere.

>> What does this mean ? How can you make the world ?

Ask Shakti, Shiva's creative sister.

> The world is full of makers. Only a few make the world.

Reminds me of all that "Lions. Not Sheep." gear I see people rockin'. LOL

Be a creator instead of a consumer.

But it implies it's not for ordinary makers. Only for the "world makers".

"It belongs in the hands of world makers."

They are targeting the kind of makers that use Excel and Teams more than make.

$$$

so, they made a device that targets only a handful of people? They should stop letting copilot write their ad copy.
