I’m sure they try to dress it up in some palatable way on either side. But if they’ve ever said AI would save them money, that would mean because they aren’t paying as many humans.

For my 2c, I think it’s a good idea. If you don’t, and it gets any use, attackers or contributors will.

It’s a little bit of a lose/lose. The target audience is very anti-LLM, so some people will hate it. It’s that or leave low-hanging-fruit bugs in there.

Either way, make sure to include an AI disclosure and explanation front-and-center. If I see a new project posted any more, I immediately write it off as low effort, vibe-coded slop until I have a reason to think otherwise. But using LLMs is not necessarily equivalent to slop imo.

To save a click:

Claude Duet, a standalone AI agent app designed to act as ​a proactive assistant for professionals and small-business owners, ‌as rivals such as OpenAI and Meta race to develop AI agents that can complete work autonomously on users’ ​behalf.

Billion with a B. You love to see it!

Sure, tl;dr as I understood it:

• Person lists keyboard on Facebook Marketplace
• Gives Meta AI assistant full, ‘always-allow’ permission to handle the listing, respond to messages about it
• It accepts a lowball offer from someone, tells them to come pick it up at the seller’s house without informing seller
• Buyer shows up at the address, waits a while, gets annoyed, leaves and gives negative feedback
• Seller responds in an amusingly earnest way to the bot like ‘bro you gotta never do that’
• Meta says it’s probably seller’s fault for giving instructions somewhere
• Buyer and seller eventually make up and keep doing business

“You gotta never do that ever again” is a great line, gonna have to enter that into my vocabulary lol.

existing users who haven’t used it for six months will also be barred.

Wow, that really is awful. If I don’t use Reddit every six months I’m permanently kicked out of it? (Am I reading that right?)

I rarely go there, but when I do want to look up something I like to have the option.

(pls don’t pretend like new reddit exists, thx)
