Agentic LLMs are not a good idea. So I guess we'll be hastily jumping into this boat as well.

On one hand yes, of course. But on the other, to drive people to use yet another (oftentimes) subscription service, it's seems like a Pro Capitalist move for another grift avenue.

VPN providers driving off into the sunset with dollar bills flying out the windows.

 

As a user coming from Sync, Summit has been great so far. One thing I'm missing is when peeking media posts (Sync terminology), I'm used to pressing on the media and having it come up as an overlay. When I release, it closes.

Unless I'm missing something, the current media preview functionality in Summit loads the media into a new window after a long press, with options for sharing, etc., underneath. And I have to hit Back to return to my feed.

I would love an option where I can use press and hold with overlayed media instead, that will just go away once I'm done viewing by releasing my finger.

Many thanks for considering!

Good read. I like the data. I've sussed out critics I tend to align with and read what they have to say after watching a movie, but never before. If I want to be disappointed I look to see what RT scores it for comparison. Granted, RT is a relatively spoiler free way to at-a-glance see if something might be worth spending money on but clearly it's less and less reliable over the years. Reminds me of Yelp and their bullshit. In a perfect world we'd all make much more money to see many more movies and not feel the need to min-max all the fuckin time. Maybe that's just me.

Hoping this ages like milk, but I'm personally not putting much stock into these theatrics. I feel like the past decade has time and time again shown that schadenfreude only happens in movies, and that every interaction these people have with each other are Neanderthal-level grifts that successfully siphon them more even money from the lower classes.

Color me jaded.

This is a weird loredump from Armored Core.

For the ARC, these federal contracts have been lucrative. According to government spending records, the company has received at least $600,000 from federal contracts so far in 2025, and about $700,000 last year.

I don't know why I was expecting more. US citizens should probably start unmasking who the people making decisions behind these companies are, who would sell out this kind of data on others--all for such an inconsequential amount of money.

This is incredibly insightful, thanks.

I don't know how many times I've made this comment but it feels like a lot. The more you use a word the less it means something. How unoriginal do you have to be at writing headlines in 2025 to use a word as meek as "slams."

It's laughable in this context especially. Trying to phrase it like this guy has gotten any kind of consequence for his toddler-from-hell persona.

Every time I see this I think of Carl Sagan. The guy was a wordsmith.
