So the President has created a situation wherein he can move an entire sector of the market up or down at his will just by speaking. It’s a good thing he and his inner circle aren’t the types to exploit that kind of power for personal enrichment!

Badass union action today from my journalist colleagues. That’s the CEO speaking.

Caching: still hard.

I’m not saying it well, but the best engineers just know if something is right and years of methodologies have tried to bottle intuition and map out skill, automate creativity, and one after another attempt has failed and will continue to fail.

@someclevername.bsky.social This is cool.

Any engagement with technology that doesn’t acknowledge that all technologies have inherent and inseparable social and political ramifications is completely worthless. We ridicule the idea that “guns don’t kill people” and immediately turn around and say the same thing about GenAI, for example.

In a way, this is a quintessential Jacob DeGrom start.

Solved a gnarly multi-causal, environment-dependent bug just before quitting time! Really psyched not to have to return to that investigation on Monday.

I just signed a petition to enact a two-year moratorium on the use of generative AI in NYC Public Schools.

Whoever decided to call that muscle the “hamstring” was one nasty mfer.

@ewpod.bsky.social Honestly? You’ve banked so much good will that I’m _cheering_ for your freemium pivot. EW forever!

A fun and pro-social thing to do in your group chat is to create n-1 satellite chats including all members except one and named like “fuckin with Steve”.

They won’t tell you this but you don’t have to wait for Pesach to enjoy matzoh brei. (yogurt, trout roe, black pepper)

I just saw and ad for Claude that used the All Caps beat and I’m furious! To calm down I’m listening to All Caps.

I’m thinking about finally getting into the metaverse.

If you're a tech worker for a corporation, perhaps you are constantly, incessantly discussing: - How do our bosses want us to use AI? What are they mandating? - Does AI make us more productive? What does "productive" mean? - Will AI ultimately lead to many of us losing our jobs? 🧵 (1/7)

If you're feeling anxious about AI but aren't yet talking to your colleagues, I highly recommend starting. Find two colleagues your trust and chat about what you're experiencing and how you're feeling. Find common ground. Grow your circle. 🧵 (6/7)

Like so many of history’s famous villains, I have determined that pausing to ask, “Am I a villain?” only serves to distract me from the pursuit of further, greater villainy.

All AI labs—but _especially_ Anthropic—emphasize how scary their AI is. It’s a comms strategy with this message: 1. They are responsible stewards warning you (against their self-interest!) of imminent danger. 2. Their products are mega-powerful and you better get on board fast or be left behind.

For the last several years my eldest has solicited commissions to make art for the teams in my fantasy baseball league. This is a detail from this year’s piece for my team.

• Use less AI than me? Oh, you sweet summer child—too ignorant to evaluate the technology. Your praise and criticism are both groundless. • Use more AI than me? You weak-kneed bootlicker. So easily seduced. I can barely hear you through the AI opium clouds that hang around you.
