You’ve beached your last boy

The year is 2028. Humans, having begun deliberately misspelling words in their emails to prove they aren't using AI, found themselves in a race-to-the-bottom with LLMs prompted to "write like humans". Before long all written language became unintelligible and all text based communication useless.

AI has not solved my standard-issue imposter syndrome.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you.

If you have to eat two cold frogs, consider alternative food sources.

I know it's a "novelty" Star Wars remix, but this track is still unironically one of my favourite ambient electronic tracks: open.spotify.com/track/3KLlLH...

Working in a prison kitchen would be a gruelling job.

Telephony is a nice name for a girl

If you really want to get ahead in this new landscape you should probably consider creating a massive network of linked blogs dedicated to discussing all the reasons why you personally deserve a promotion and a payrise.

LLM generated text is like a kind of literary backrooms. It goes on and on forever. At first glance it seems okay, but then you look closer and everything feels off. Sparsely scattered around are recognisable elements, but their placement makes no sense. The lights are on but nobody is home.

UX. Am I doing it right?

I absolutely think we should use non-tech related LLM support agents as free inference providers where possible. It’s a long game but on balance I think this is ultimately pro-social behaviour.

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

People pay for GitHub?

This is the kind of pointless internet-meets-real-world fun I can get behind: payphonetag.com

The talk I'm currently writing in my head: "Software engineering fundamentals have never been more important"

Would you rather rebuild with all your application code and none of your tests or no application code but all of your tests?

Poople

You have a box on your desk which you can open to look inside. You also have a button that you can press to make you immediately forget what you saw in the box. The button has a counter showing how many times you have pressed it. The counter reads 5628. What do you do?

Now hold up @valorin.bsky.social, can we circle back to the pottery idea? Why did you dismiss that so fast?

Even the slop fear mongering is slop now.

Most people don’t know that some of the bears are undercover NPS special agents.

At Sydney Writers Festival all day today. Just a whole day of people delighting in writing and books and authors and not a single person mentioned AI even once.

who out here publishing sympodially??!

I say we should all be writing our own esoteric programming languages now. Let a thousand languages bloom.

An aspect of the Mythos discourse I haven't seen so much of is discussion around the costs involved. The implication is that it's finding vulnerabilities that humans have missed, but how can we really make a fair comparison without some understanding of what resources went into finding them?

This post was a bit which is why I didn’t actually check before posting. Curiosity got the better of me and let’s just say a cursory search revealed at least four such companies.

I'm honestly surprised nobody in Silicon Valley has founded an agentic AI startup called "Horcrux".

This is exactly my kind of art halupedia.com

Not now strange unknown under-ice structures beneath Antarctica.

What’s it like in Ashburn, Virginia. Is it nice there?

INTERPOL implies the existence of INFRAPOL, and EXTRAPOL

The elites don’t want you to know this but the code you write is free you can just write it I have 458 lines of code

The squeaky wheel used to get the grease. Now the whole cart is just replaced.

It's 10pm. Do you know where you agents are? Be in the loop.

Never has so much rich text been so poor

I’m often quite chalant.

Went to the local cafe strip to order some takeaway food on Mothers day. Just absolute horses down there.

omg hahah this is what the internet should be bsky-emoji.cee.wtf

What’s a peer reviewed computer science paper that I, an academically unqualified but experienced internet plumber should read?

I will be using "It's absolute horses"

Any reckless, irresponsible developers looking for some short-term work? I need to populate a GitHub organization with apps chock-full of vulnerabilities. I'm going to try to unleash Claude on the task, but I fear that even the robot can't reach the level of incompetence that I require for this.

Current Status: Printing a JIRA

How am I only just now hearing off repebble.com!?

Is this anything?
