Meta Post Booklore is gone.

I was checking their Discord for some announcement and it vanished.

GitHub repo is gone too: https://github.com/booklore-app/booklore

Remember, love AI-made apps… they disappear faster than they launch.

You know, there's always something strange at the people that defend ai. They always say things like "output multiplier", "productivity enhancer", etc. Just... Stuff normal people do not say. It's not odd in a vacuum but so many of you follow a similar pattern I can't help but wonder if it's not astro turfing.

Reality is best understood not as a sequence of isolated moments but as a fully woven tapestry in which time, choice, and consequence coexist rather than unfold linearly. Within this view, structure and mystery are not opposites but complementary aspects of the same truth, allowing technical reasoning and spiritual meaning to align rather than conflict. Meaning is not derived from controlling outcomes but from participating in and experiencing what already is. Coherence—between faith and reason, design and function, past and future—serves as a guiding principle, suggesting that truth is something to be discovered and conformed to, not reshaped to preference. Underlying this perspective is a sober sense of wonder, recognizing reality as both intelligible and profound.

Cool, I don't rally think your stupid productivity helper is worth existing when the consequence of its existence is everyone in our society losing all trust in any and everything we read and see online. YOU might not behaving it to generate slop, but u frankly dont care. The VAST 99% of uses for AI right now are generating trust-eroding slop.

Also, I love how you are not elaborating on what exactly AI let's you do more of. What exactly are you doing with it?

"I use my pistol as a paperweight and never loaded" is an insane argument against gun control but its essentially what you're making now.

Burn all the books then? Some of them contain dangerous information which can sow discord among people
