JS frameworks were invented to deal with clunkiness of Vanilla Javascript and got bloated to include everything and the kitchen sink. All of a sudden they're 'ecosystems'.
Modern JS + Web components with the light layer of Lit on top solve at least 80% of the issues there were and are with just plain JS. Close to actual web standards and thus play nice with almost everything. By design they fit into a far more modular approach than React or Vue or Svelte.
Agreed. The amount of effectively annotated (possibly very sensitive) data that users are voluntarily shoving across the line seems worth losing some money over. I imagine that data is also not exactly safe from the Chinese government.

Exactly, if anything, the logic (a bit bad -> really bad) shows that one person learning from one thing is far inferior to one person learning from every thing (a bit good -> really good).

Tip: Add a default instruction to look at the actial downloaded source code of the dependencies used (assuming you're not dealing with closed source dependencies). Have the agent treat it as your own (readonly) source code instead of relying on model training data and possibly mismatching documentation on the web. Then it just greps for the exact function signatures and reads the file based documentation.

There may be some lies, but a big part of the backlash against AI is that it is too effective. The backlash is growing precisely because people are finally getting out of the "it's just a tool and there will always be a place for humans!"-denial phase and into the "they took our jobs!"-anger phase. They're seeing the writing on the wall many (although surprisingly not all) in the tech sector saw long ago.
Additionally, I'm quite sure it's not backlash against slop, as some might think. People have disliked spam and ads forever, but all in all they'll happily stomach loads of it just to watch some badly written Hollywood or Netflix human slop.
It's probably not something that can be enforced legally, but the concept of DeArrow (user-provided titles and thumbnails for Youtube) should be the norm.
Perhaps there can be an EU maintained browser extension that allows netizens to provide alternate, honest titles and thumbnails for all kinds of content. Probably still incredibly hard to implement throughout apps etc., but a man can dream.
I love the scale that FAQs for things like this provide, as well as the variety of questions.
Q: How many objects are there in SpaceEngine?
A: The entire Hipparcos catalog of stars, all known extrasolar planets, over ten thousand galaxies, most objects in the solar system, which adds up to 130,000 things. In addition, more galaxies and star systems than exist in reality in all of the observable universe.
Q: How can a water planet be hot?
A: Water in the upper atmosphere is in the form of hot vapor, but farther down it smoothly transitions into a liquid state under high pressure. Even deeper it turns into a solid state called ice VII.
It's fantastic software that's been around for many years, and has exquisite attention to detail on this and many other topics; this article also reminded me of it!
Wikipedia in one tab, and SpaceEngine in the other, is one of my favorite semi-educational gaming experiences. Great game. I haven't seen anything quite as nice even though it's quite long in the tooth.
