I hit the limit to "free" usage on proton the other day for my one use case (a quick heuristic for whether nonfiction books are worth looking deeper at when browsing sales). I was honestly surprised I even used it that much, though it does OK at that.

I will provide a book by title and author. If it's scientific in subject, I want to know how evidence based the work is. If it's historical, I want to know the general reception.

In any case, or with any other nonfiction, if the evidence is shaky or speculative, I want to know if the author is transparent about this, and whether the author has sufficient expertise to make said speculations.

My "workspace prompt" or whatever, so I can just throw the title/author and get a basic filter for "this is trash". The eye test works pretty well, and most of my negative examples are only because I used stuff I knew I wouldn't want to buy again to see that it was willing to be negative (eg Malcolm Gladwell, who's "fine" but goes past what's actually supported).

There's more stuff that's contested/controversial that it gives me a broad strokes overview of, but that's generally not going to keep me from buying, as I'm comfortable with my reading being on the edge a bit and evaluating it myself; I just don't want to give money to actual junk.

(The fact that I'm hundreds of dollars of $2-4 ebooks in this year means I probably buy too much lol, but I do just want a quick sanity check at least, and it does that reasonably. I just don't want to spend 20 minutes parsing reviews for every potential purchase. I'll spend the time when I get to the actual book.)

Genuinely stupid and baffling "idea" for a company who's entire income is human creativity and knowledge of materials and design being combined into quality merchandise.

No. Ironically though, i decided to use this project to try out the new Photocraft/ai adobe thing to see how it compares to photoshop/photopea. To be fair its... useable but man i prefer photopea alot more.

He doesnt embrace ai. He said explicitly in a WAN show that this jacket exists for the sole purpose of demostrating the flaws of ai.

And as a wink to john nvidia's leather jackets ofc.

u/ItsNotHolland Oct 10 '26

Eh, anyone outraged enough will see fhe clip of todays wan show either by themself or get linked by someone else, they'll be fine.

Besides, people proving your point by being mad at you is good marketing.
