I was bothered not so much by the slopful article as by the AI-written text in the dashboard that iKnow produces. I ran the program on my Mac and it did display charts and graphs with names of people and organizations I’ve interacted with over the years, but I couldn’t figure out what it all was supposed to mean.

One example: "323 people, 122 events and other records, 200 employers and 1 stored group — as the store on this Mac links them. Read live just now. Colour is what each node is to you: the stored group in red, family and closeness by iKnow’s rules on the kinship scorecard. Size is how many rows in the store name it."

Claude etc. can be prompted to produce clearer explanations than that.

Yep I cannot fathom why people feel OK shipping anything like that publicly. The headers are also all completely stupid.

> Every node as a list — the graph is not the only way in

> Family, as the scorecard has it

> Reachable, exactly as stored

Oh good I was worried it was going to show me something altered

> WHY RESOLVABLE MATTERS

Oh fuck off. This isn't Axios! I hate these pathetic brainrot stupid phrases Why it matters What Happened What Changed, how patronizing. Instaclosed, instakilled python, what a fucking waste of my time and a waste of an article too

		> Six people, six relationships, and a subtitle saying nobody typed any of it. > a closeness score above the cut · nobody typed it > A dashed line is a conclusion nobody typed. > Nobody stored a sleep schedule. > The hours the log goes quiet - a sleep schedule nobody wrote down > published by metadata that contains no words. This is Claude-ism that is particularly infuriating, it never makes any sense.
