"hey bro just saw your doppelganger here at arbys" and the attached pic is the most hideous monster ever captured by film

is this the worst UI in the "encountered daily by millions of users" category?

In a few years when we have wildly better interpretability systems, someone’s gonna crack open 4o and it’s gonna be “oops, all snakes”

the reaction of normal humans to a picture of clavicular implies that creatures which look *exactly like clavicular* were once a deadly threat to our tribal ancestors

One of the nicest things you can gift to your future self is immediately taking a selfie after you get a haircut that just fuckin’ nails it

coding used to feel like a base builder that punishes you for mistakes: removing buildings takes time, or you dont get all your resources back. coding with LLMs feels like factorio, where you can trivially rebuild huge projects at zero cost

“Try and leave this world a little better than you found it” - Robert Baden-Powell

it’s extremely weird that *right* before the AI takeoff, we had a round of tech “innovation” that simultaneously 1) spent a trillion dollars building faster GPUs 2) made everyone think tech hype cycles were always bullshit in this essay i will prove that satoshi nakamoto was a time traveler

We grew up in a world where the only ethical way to gather empirical data on cognition was to wait for a guy to have a terrible railroad spike accident. We are just now entering the era of experimental philosophy

my main man ben is how i learned what nominative determinism is

fully half of the most-insane software ive ever had to setup always starts with "first, open these 26 different ports"

Horrors aside, it’s interesting that he’s so incurious that he has zero sources of information outside the viziers. We spend like $100bn/year to make POTUS the most well-informed person on earth, but the current guy has only absorbed slop and lies for years

What actual opsec looks like:

Fired for spending too much time reading poetry in case I need to resign

$ cat <<EOF > CLAUDE.md no galaxy-brained stuff, ok? EOF

not at all clear who the long-term AI winners/losers will be, but SWEs with crippling ADHD who got a 780 on their SAT verbals are racking up huge dubs

The DoJ has obviously been able to do this forever, it was nice little intelligence stream for them, and Bondi just permanently slams it shut because no one in this admin believes in the concept of “tomorrow”

we need a name for the phenomenon where a sales guy sends you an oddly detailed list of followup points not because they’re super diligent, but because they’re using a really good ai transcription service

yesterday was a devastating shakeup for my personal “worst bluesky takes of all time” leaderboard. its anyone’s game now

bad luck that the venn diagram of “enthusiastic prediction markets supporters” and “knowers of even a single person who destroyed their life with gambling” has zero overlap

datacenters do not, in fact, consume oceans of water. "nippon steel-georg", an industrial smelter hiding inside an old IBM facility to claim the renewables credits, was an outlier adn should not have been counted

preventing burnout by switching opus-4.6 from "fast" to "low and slow"

im sorry but science has proven that this is the only good way to install software. look at you with your "apt" and your "brew", you are like a child

the future is going to contain a LOT of code that is trusted to basically work, and to the extent that it has non-obvious bugs, they'll be figured out by some future set of eyes am i writing about open source software in 2006 or vibecoded software in 2026?

As the amount of completely uninsurable real estate in this country continues inexorably climbing, the last thing we need is lying that actually we could afford it except for capitalism Sorry but you just can’t live there anymore. The time to do something was 50 years ago

🎵 It’s time to put on makeup / it’s time to dress up right / it costs way less than JSOC / to make The Muppet Show tonight 🎵

If you are too stupid to see that that was Cheney bending the knee to Harris in exchange for zero (0) concessions, you shouldn’t be voting.

we are entering an entirely new era of worrying that our llms aren’t getting enough enrichment in their enclosures

wow i can’t believe i forced anthropic to release opus 4.6

every time a user disables notifications for your mobile app, one of your PMs should receive a brief but decisive electric shock

do not dunk on that poor MPLS AUSA on social media for clout

There is nothing the right fears more than Will Stancil and Brace Belden agreeing with each other in public

This makes me think even more highly of Will Stancil

i bet if you put americans on the spot and asked them “how many millions in a billion” the most common answer you’d get would be “one hundred”

so much progress wasted, on so many fronts, for stupid reasons, or worse, for no reason at all
