I hope the regular people staying there are getting their money back and put in a better hotel that’s not Hilton

prison is inhumane and nobody should be subjected to it, not even Tina peters

idk there’s a reason pebble failed & I don’t think there’s any way pebble would be having the success its having now without Apple & Google it’s the Starbucks story again Everyone thinks Starbucks kills local coffee shops but studies have shown it actually increases the demand for local options

Incredibly important point about Renee Macklin Good. I was guilty of this and I should know better.

I swear to god, seeing people post about how AI is destroying learning and education is enough to make me want to go get a Master and a PhD and very patiently and firmly hold peoples’ faces in front of a screen to learn how good research actually works.

You can disable it tho And this is because most people will install spyware on their computers and then scream bloody murder when it’s slow and all their money has been stolen

I can’t wait till we get back to a world where leftists unilaterally believe cops are bad, and not only if they’re arresting the people you like

I would like to remind people that in a world where Section 230 wasn’t under threat and DOJ wasn’t attacking Apple’s platform integration (not their rent seeking, I don’t care about that) you’d probably see X removed from the App Store very quickly

Wait can I figure out how to vibe code an iOS app to launch @awscloud.bsky.social EKS clusters using helm charts from my phone? @atlassian.bsky.social wanna take bets

I think tomorrow I’ll spin up a Jira data center cluster on EKS just for fun and to lovingly troll @segyges.bsky.social

fyi - there may be a moment where I go from being very clearly me back to being an avatar without my name attached to shit. If I do that, just know it’s for a good reason and I’m still safe. If my account ever simply disappears, *then* worry.

Emily remains one of my favorite humans

I think Monday I’ll be ready to launch some new shit!

*sigh* One of the things that is very frustrating as an AuDHD person is when someone omits a portion of the truth to push their narrative, and you respond with the whole truth and then they pretend you didn’t understand them, but the reality is that you absolutely understood them AND saw their lie.

all of you nerds making 80 versions of the same tool: I love you. but I also hate you bc my AuDHD is now just stuck trying to choose the perfect one

Yeah, but this isn’t true. Anthropic didn’t ban everyone, they pulled it from the companies already violating their TOS. Maybe don’t violate TOS?

X is so poorly run it can’t even sort out DMCA compliance and music licensing, which are 20 year old solved problems with multiple scaled vendors www.theverge.com/news/860013/...

Very interested to see if Claude Code gets better for the rest of us now

Anthropic will create a licensing program and third-party tools that follow the rules, which I expect to be reasonable given Anthropic, will be able to use Claude subs in the app again.

To be fair, you should probably not pretend to be Claude Code. that said, I expect Anthropic to roll out a partner program relatively soon.

Lenny Rachitsky called this months ago: www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/everyone-s...

There are some things you will NEVER see me post bc you gotta know when to yap and when not to. But at heart? Yapper through and through. Always have been.

I LOVE how fast my timeline because a breath of fresh air after everyone started cottoning onto Claude Code!

if you went back in time and prevented the first publications about the transformer architecture from being published, you'd probably only set it back by a few months tbh

"coding" / "programming" is an excessively broad idea, makes it hard to make sweeping declarations about what skillful practice of the craft looks like

You want Apple and Google to take X down? Make it more financially harmful for their board members to keep it in the store than to take it out. THAT is how this changes. It’s the only way.

wait, it only took one white lady killed and y’all all took to the streets? damn, we had to lose thousands before y’all listened to us. and then you stopped two years later, said we “went too far.” *cries in Black*

The good thing about the content laws we’ve traditionally had in the US and a strong First Amendment is that it’s really hard for platforms to outright ban the speech of anyone, which benefits all marginalized folks. It’s also the terrible thing, as the X Grok deepfake stuff shows.

I can’t have the conversation I’d like to have about this article or the situation bc annoyingly, this article isn’t telling the whole story. And I get it, I do. CSAM is vile and so are deepfakes. Apple & Google’s Store guidelines do let them pull the apps off. But their boards might not.

Time to dive back in bc the weekend is heeeere

PTSD & CPTSD are rarely "either/or;" they're most commonly "both/and." That said, I don't love the "D" part of either initialism-- both are injuries that require care, not "disorders" that signal "deviance."

Wayyyyyyy harder to do in the US

Yuuuuuup

No that’s what Claude’s explanatory response style is for

always amazed at how many people furious at the monopoly the state has on violence want…the state to address it by… using said monopoly on violence against…those who enforce the state’s monopoly on violence? make it make sense

people should stop lying about how much damage LLMs are actually doing to the environment because it’s not anywhere near what most anti-ai folks parrot.

weird, since it doesn’t set the world on fire: www.verysane.ai/p/the-bigges...

weird, it’s almost like not every product has to have the same feature

btw, used AI to build github.com/musicjunkieg... so please be mad at me

Never been more tempted to use an LLM to open up so many issues and PRs codeberg.org/gen-ai-trans...

I also think we should just be straight up when we use AI. I love @danielmiessler.bsky.social’s “AI Influence Levels,” which I was introduced to by @lizthegrey.com: danielmiessler.com/blog/ai-infl...

I love it! RISE UP!

What’s really fascinating to me about this AI/anti-AI moment is watching people who swear they’re leftists getting trapped so hard by their inability to imagine anything better than capitalism and the weird puritan work ethic.

To all my kindred Black folk in this moment: I see you. I know how hard this moment is for us, for so many reasons that so many others will never understand. There’s a special type of pain in seeing folks show up for others in ways they’s never show up for ours & to know all we’ve lost bc of that.

I can. It was when this was happening to Black people and everyone told us to stop protesting in the streets and blocking traffic.

Everything that’s happening now is why woke 1.0 was just fine until a whole bunch of people decided it was too uncomfortable to face their own faults

Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.

After what they’ve done to the innocuous phrase “diversity, equity & inclusion” (DEI) I truly hope you can see that they will always distort our words.

Let’s suppose it was. People were willing to give MORE money to police even after seeing the brutality and excesses. Comms is more important than human rights?

There’s a special kind of grief many of us are feeling tonight. Because it didn’t have to be like this.
