and yet we still have no procedurals about user experience researchers barging into various workplaces

@cheatlines.co I had to reread that repost several times before realizing it wasn’t about AND/OR

I choose to interpret “wherever you get your podcasts” not as a statement of platform neutrality but as an admission that the podcast studio is a Severance-style void and the hosts actually don’t have any clue where one could get podcasts

i think core rationalist factual claims are correct, and openai, the most rationalist of companies, is an ur-capitalist behemoth whose internal plan is to become a government contractor for an all-consuming panopticon that presides over a thousand year reich

I really dislike the corrosive “it’s always been irredeemably bad and couldn’t get worse and you’re a chump if you think there’s anything about positive-sum liberalism worth defending” attitude in the replies here. Would be bad if that were the savvy consensus position of all social media. Uh oh

Cursor CLI you have got to be kidding me. Guess I shouldn’t have complained so much about everything being delivered as a shitty VS Code fork, huh

Can’t wait to see the new movie starring DiCaprio as the governor of Washington

once on Twitter people got mad at a news story about a prosecutor named "Brecklyn", and some friend of hers jumped in and started passionately defending whatever it was that she did, and I still think about the following display name that someone adopted in reaction: "BrecklynFriend_Defiant!"

Oh cool Apache rebranded to ASF. For zoomer appeal I assume. “Bro this XML schema library is stable asf”

One down, 22,786 to go

Whenever I see some new AI or moderation dustup on here I’m surprised by how disproportionately many users there are who identify as Artists. Ah, fuck, this is just another symptom of this site inheriting the Tumblr user base, isn’t it

Fellas is it autistic to have expertise or interests

this reply thread is peak

this site gave me a differently-skewed idea of what happens to you if you spend several thousand hours on Rust

they made a toy out of my git workflow

i'm sorry but this thing reads like this thing

Basically a platinum copy of me is now under a glass jar in Paris and labeled “reference AI poster”

How is anyone still doing this flimsy reflexive whining about how anything new is actually problematic, don’t you have real problems

I love shit like this; can someone please make a feed of people reacting angrily to messages that are not intended for them?

man, while it's true that people will put anything into chatgpt without thinking, this is about the least compelling example of what's risky about that. like i promise you nobody involved in this anecdote gives a shit about your vendor inventory or your work email

maybe this is a bit of a monkey's paw wish but i think it would be nice if we had a system where i didn't have to be aware of the name of anyone in the judiciary

The "Tacos Chotiner" tweet remains undefeated

I knew that project had momentum but didn’t realize they had satellites

not to go all the way in the @jnatc.im “just fuck me up” direction but who was asking for a fiddly consent UI for Quick Look preview extensions

If you want to see something really distressing that makes you despair for humanity you gotta check out Threads. This movie about nuclear war looks pretty harrowing too

AI researcher reading this post: fuck! how did we miss this! all the signs were there as early as several months ago!

Ok the problem is I can’t cancel my subscription to Millsaps College in Mississippi

The real start of the flop era is marked by the perfunctory code review comments switching from “LGTM 👍” to “IBGYBG 👍”

god this sucked ass (and was HUGE at the time)

the 2010s weren't that great

How does this eventually happen to every reporter like this

Jack Dorsey loves my big sphinx of quartz

mastodon moment

half-assed thought: mastodon is the degrowth social network

I guess the lesson of atproto is that if you're smart, designing and operating something federated with good UX at meaningful scale is totally doable at reasonable cost…but the real great filter is platform-level moderation, which is expensive and miserable and impossible to incentivize anyone to do

Sen. John Heckinpupper demands investigation into Hooman scandal

ok good, i'm not the only one who reads this handle this way every time

it's unclear to me that anyone involved in this story has any clue what they're looking at, which does fit with the "Threads is the gas leak social network" idea, where nobody understands why they're posting anything or seeing anything www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

why yes I have been fucking around with this in QGIS all evening, thank you for asking

Imagine being such a piece of work that the thought “if only he had the humility of Linus Torvalds” actually kind of makes sense

Store In Gentrified Neighborhood Calls Groceries ‘Provisions’

for the millionth time i am reminded that bluesky is inheriting tumblr's legacy as much or more than twitter's

random people in other cities and countries finding out about Brad Lander feels like the good inverse version of me involuntarily knowing the names of multiple wrongheaded SF supervisors

bringing this over here since it's relevant again x.com/ChrisStephen...

today I learned about Olivia Nuzzi's first career web.archive.org/web/20100217...

Yeah I’m into steganography (study of magical pasta pots)

Olivia Nuzzi whenever someone runs the garbage disposal: I should call him
