Omg no. Don't move clickable things suddenly under my mouse that weren't there when I picked where to put my cursor.
I absolutely detest systems like this that break my current mode because they guess I might want shovelin something else as a new mode. Even if you get it right 9 times out of 10 I find it so disruptive. Somehow it makes me feel like the system is -untrustworthy-.
Grain of salt though - I tend to take a power use stance on things and want my tools to augment what I'm trying to do instead of do things on my behalf.
Yes. The more pointed out, the more I see my sense as a strawman: These older designs persist far longer than people realise.
Odd that the A380 is probably going to disappear before the last Boeing 747 because the A380 has no freight context, where the Jumbo has a good long life ahead as a C&C aircraft, and in freight. Turns out the nose bump had real value.
50 MD-11 just got announced as on the path out of fedex. Thats a 1980s type over and done, while these 1970s craft continue on. The story isn't certain for a marque.
See also John Barnes' Century Next Door books, where "memes" are basically computer viruses that jump to running on human brains, not just silicon chips. The results are... not pretty.
The common thread is groups of people = atrocities. Religion and government are two common properties that emerge from groups of people, but there are also countless examples of atrocities that involve neither.
Speaking of botched LLM summaries, my bank has been doing this to me for several months now.
Instead of the transaction info which is strictly defined and uniformly formatted, they've attempted to give "friendly names" to each one and "simplify" the descriptions.
This has been a supremely bad idea. Firstly, it deprives me of essential info about each transaction, which I cannot access at all in the mobile app. I need to go into the website on a desktop computer, click through a few screens to say "this description is incorrect!" and request that they show me the original.
The "simple descriptions" elide a lot of useful info, such as the vendor's phone number.
Sometimes they are completely incorrect, like the name of my church gets a completely different and misleading name in every transaction. I cannot disable this.
Last year, there was a transaction during tax time that I believed to be some sort of penalty by the government, and I was freaking out about it, but it turned out to actually be my refund and had been "helpfully renamed" by my bank to be extremely misleading.
I have discussed these issues with the online support staff, and in person at my branch, and they are sympathetic, but there is nothing they can do about the app, and the only workaround for me is to individually flag each transaction as it comes in, and fix it, and there is no "global disable" or "global unfuck everything" button for any of us, anywhere.
