What came out was a clone of Ingress with a skin and a shop. It lacked the full set of Pokemon, which all the assets for already exist. It lacked having a six-Pokemon team. It lacked trading, a core feature of Pokemon in every generation of games. Gyms weren't even gyms, they were some sort of checkpoint XP farm thing.
If it had been pitched as what it was, I may have enjoyed it more. Instead, I found myself vastly disappointed with what I was able to achieve playing it compared to Pokemon on my Nintendo DS or some other handheld console.
I don't think this was a politics-based decision. I feel misled and disillusioned.
If it was cheaper to use their internal AI to create these tools, they would.
It's not like $60m in funding was given as charity.

> Just my own observation that the same pattern has occurred at least 3 times now:
> release a model; overhype it; provide max compute; sell it as the new baseline
> this attracts a new wave of users to show exponential growth & bring in the next round of VC funding (they only care about MAU going up, couldn’t care less about existing paying users)
> slowly degrade the model and reduce inference
> when users start complaining, initially ignore them entirely then start gaslighting and make official statements denying any degradation
> then frame it as a tiny minority of users experiencing issues then, when pressure grows, blame it on an “accidentally” misconfigured servers that “unintentionally” reduced quality (which coincidentally happened to save the company tonnes of $).

If you've read this far, I humbly ask you to read my LinkedIn recommendations, and if you do follow up with an email, rick-roll me. I could use the laugh.
I've been thinking its less "Tech Debt" and more "Tech Sewage", as with sewage its a part of our normal day, and we just flush it down the drain hoping it never resurfaces, or at least that we won't be the one dealing with it.
I haven't put a network sniffer or anything on it yet though. Just wanted to take a peak at the UI

I'd like to spend the next part of my career being a strong part of a start-up.
This combined with the Wayback machine makes for a great way to keep track of detailed information
It's wasteful to get an entire second machine for something that can use the resources available on the machine running Home Assistant OS
Any chance the team could create a Home Assistant add-on for this? https://www.home-assistant.io/addons/
I think the Home Assistant community would go WILD for being able to self-host their Bluesky data straight from home with just a few clicks.
It's a pretty big crowd of people. https://analytics.home-assistant.io/ 327k willing to opt-in to analytics.
