It's not even a throwback. That U2 album still shows up if I accidentally open Apple Music. I haaaaate it. I disliked U2 before any of this, but now I have absolutely sworn to never ever listen to any of their music.
Google did the same thing with Transformers 2 I think. It still shows up as Purchased for me even though I absolutely did not purchase that. Good way to ensure I never ever watch any Transformers movie!
There was a website to remove it completely from your library, it launched in 2014 and was up for many years, but is now gone.
These days you can delete the album from your library and set the Music app to not automatically download your purchases. If you want to go an extra mile, you can login to your iTunes account to view your purchases and hide it there too.

I have no idea about the eye thing taking off. But I think your comment is very HN and a bit out-of-touch with regular people. What "you're seeing" is a bubble and not representative of the general population. The eye thing is a slow frog boil and it will be commonplace before you can blink.
Agent instruction files are code, though. And none of this is really workstation-specific, it is codebase-specific. Should each developer keep a nearly identical copy of CLAUDE.md? The instructions really aren't for a developer, they are for an LLM agent. In most cases (I'd imagine, anyway) the agentic instruction files must be in source control for them to even provide much value.
It's an LLM-webapp-builder, sure, but different from the rest! I have the LLM write python code when it needs to modify an HTML file for example (it'll use beautifulsoup; then I run the code: it parses the source into a data structure, modifies the data structure, and then outputs the resulting html).
It's also a marketplace where you can publish your llm-powered webapp, and earn $ on the token margins (I charge 2x token rates) when people use your site.
Related, I'm still upset at the lies told by landlords regarding phone number privacy in buzz-in intercoms. I've been told multiple times at multiple apartment buildings, "don't worry, while the system will call your phone when someone taps your entry code, your phone number won't be revealed". And then you sign the lease, get a delivery from Instacart in your new place, and find that your 'private' number is blasted out loud, heard a whole city block away, in a loud-ass DTMF tone sequence.
I'm interested in the idea that LLMs writing raw code and doing line-or-diff replacements will not be the future, but that having the LLMs modify the structure of the code may end up being the best.
Also, I think that building LLM-powered webapps should earn the dev per token call; so I've built a margin into token costs where the end user is charged 2x the provider's token costs, and then I get 20% of the remaining and the dev gets 80%.
