The anti AI critics are in for some bad news about how people have always been naming their babies, just sayin’

Upon the eve of my CEO cringe-tweeting a reply to MrBeast on X about an “epic superbowl ad”, I am happy to announce that I’m going on more paternity leave for two months

Pretty wild how bad fitness tips have ossified like: - stretching before a working (instead of dynamic movements) - low reps and high weight = mass (the opposite is true) - knees over toes sqatting is bad for knees (it is actually good) - deadlift is bad for back (it is actually good for the back)

Uploaded my State of LLMs 2025 report for this year: magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/state-of-l... I planned to just write a brief overview, but yeah, it was an eventful year so it was impossible to keep it below 7000 words :D.

Absolutely devastating when someone online pisses you off and you’re like “I bet they’re an asshole”, so you look at their posting history and instead think they’re probably pretty cool

Software Executive: “I should buy an Enterprise Experience Platform for my Value Streams”

I am not an economist but my perception of America’s housing problems is that it’s highly related to the population growing by some 80+ million people since I’ve been alive

The Albatross of Midway Island has a livestream

Saudi royal money is, uhh, not exactly the best, but it did lead to the biggest roller coaster of all time youtube.com/shorts/85F-y...

This is why OpenAI’s moat has always been its vast user base (almost 1B weekly). Eventually, ChatGPT will be good enough to detect intent, write and run a program, accept your inputs, and let you save things for later.

My gut feel about AI genned images and video is that getting rid of the “too bright a sheen with bad lighting” problem is a very long tail. I really have no idea so this is just me poasting, hence gut feel

Incredible data viz crime

The problem with stories like this is that "regulations" can mean very, very different things to different people. It's easy to say "regulate AI." It's extremely difficult to come up with actual regulations that won't kick off another partisan shitshow fight once it gets distorted.

Yeah, and this paints a very different picture when you learn that SVB was where almost every startup that took money to pay employees put it in SVB. It was a known-good, stable place to park your cash so your people could eat.

dudes rock youtu.be/zJHB4bwtrFE?...

As a two-time ACL tear boi, I gotta say, the NFL converging on turf sucks to see. So many preventable non-contact ACL tears.

This is probably the most salient point about the technological times we’re in today. You can often get great answers, or at least a good way towards an answer, using this tech … but with that comes the cost of critically examining and, if possible, testing what you have.

Bo Nix AFC West titles: 1 Justin Herbert AFC West titles: 0 lmao go broncos

There's a lot of money to be made for "freelance artist" scammers on fiverr to use nano banana + "any artistic style other than hyper-realism". Especially if it's a paintbrush style with some stuff made intentionally messy, people really can't tell the difference.

Found god today with walking lunges up and down the gym track today. No idea how many reps. Just pain and euphoria

Yesterday I watched The Notebook for the first time, and I went in expecting a notebook to be the main thing the plot was centered around, but instead I got a good period drama and love story

We don't talk enough about how the twitter takeover resulted in a large amount of techposting moving to LinkedIn

I’m forever a Universal Healthcare Guy but I also think we should simply allow Mark Cuban to post dumb advertisements for his drug company only because he’s actually using the forces of capitalism against all the other healthcare industry players to drive drugs costs down

Go broncos, please lose so playoff positions are determined in the final game of the season

Imagine how different things might be if we pooped out our mouths and ate from our butts. But everything else about us externally was the same

I hope all the haters realize that viciously going after Larian for minimal use of GenAI, a game studio who went above and beyond to create a beloved game and stayed completely committed to the D&D lore and fanbase, means studios just won’t disclose things anymore

Ok, who decided to call it “the bitter lesson” and not “Scaling Compute Rules Everything Around Me”

Rename podcast to yapcast

llm-brain-rot.github.io This rules. Feed social media engagement garbage in and LLMs perform worse on benchmarks.

this is how I talk to chat gpt btw, and really all AI chat systems.

YouTube is so much better than TikTok youtu.be/jm1uSgMRhlU?...

think I might fuck around, re-read the stochastic parrot paper-of-papers, and write a blog post about what I think changed in the year of our lord 2025

People on this website have lost their goddamn minds. Ah, yes, it is not generations of reaganomics, massive racist backlash in a disastrous 2010 election, nor the elevation of a hateful man in Donald Trump that brings about "American decline". It is the STEM nerds.

This video is more frightening to me than fun. A man of Jason Kelce’s size and age should not be that quick, fast, and strong. Professional athletes are just on such a whole other level youtu.be/4JfeGhne--Q?...

From the iCloud archives, this apparently got synced and so even though my laptop got wiped it didn't get fully deleted. This was from a very funny day of versioning SDKs

Might screw around and do some performative reading today. Gravity’s Rainbow?

Man, the reveal three posts in is art

Man, babies sure are: - hard until they’re not - easy until they’re not

Finally the broncos lost a game. Go donkeys, get it outta the system and make the conference more competitive

I really like how Washington state sends these out to new parents. The contents are very helpful!

My take on this is twofold: 1. Chat as search query creator and refiner is very usable by many people 2. This tech is generalizable but only as a component to another interface and use case

3/4 of the comments on this linkedin shitpost are people who think I'm giving advice on which observability tool to use

Good search use case for modern LLMs: Including additional search criteria that is likely to be important. Example: "best inverter to power my garage freezer" becomes a query related to wattage given the range a typical standing chest freezer needs in a 24 hour period.

I need people who use the term “sportsball” unironically to understand that football in the US is so culturally meaningful that we have national laws on the books about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_...

This article was a fun read. IMO it’s really all just because Trump himself is the only unifying force on the right, and he’s lost several steps and barreled the US towards a recession hidden only by top-level metrics driven from tech stocks www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When Jake Paul finds out what a non-retired boxer is like. Very funny stuff youtu.be/trQH-lXMums?...

okay I can say with confidence, after doing some interesting slack searches, that Salesforce used to be a much more interesting company to work for before ~2023, culturally speaking

One of the cooler things about working for a big company with a long-running Slack is that you can search for things like "Astral Travel" and get back a few messages of people talking about it

Imagine being a serious person and a dedicated political libertarian, knowing that this video is the one that has the most views in the world related to your political ideology youtu.be/ZITP93pqtdQ
