Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the quote was taken out of context when they were speaking about vertical integration. "We own the glass" was meant to say that they manufacture the panels themselves and not source them from a 3rd party.
The FAQ technique is LLM/SEO crumbs because people usually search for questions, if you have the exact likely question text that maps to user's search you're more likely to rank. It's unfortunate but it works, like open mouth YouTube thumbnails.
It’s still hollow and cheap. I closed those sites immediately even before LLMs. You need to pay me to waste my time, not the other way around. Even if that’s using your then not-so-free app.
That’s not feedback, just a non-constructive opinion. As someone else wrote above, if you’re so precious about it then help out the devs of the project and submit design PRs.
Here is a constructive one then: delete it. It’s better for everyone. If I want to read AI slop about your open source code, I can ask LLMs directly. It’s cheaper for you, and everybody.
This is absurd. No one has an obligation to help anyone nor do they owe you any standard of help. Opinion on quality of output is constructive to the wise and an opportunity to scream "If you can do better than do it" for the small minded.
I’m working on PhotoFig: https://photofig.com, a recently launched product-photo editor for online sellers who need to clean up hundreds of images.
It was inspired by my wife having to carefully mask product photos for her online shop. Existing tools could remove backgrounds automatically, but didn’t give her enough control when the result needed correcting. So masking is a first-class feature, with SAM-assisted selection and a precise manual brush.
The backend and storage are self-hosted on hardware I own. Along the way I’ve had to solve some interesting infrastructure problems, including writing a Kubernetes operator that bin-packs GPU workloads across workers. I’m planning a technical write-up on the architecture.
