Me working with the latest setup my vibecoder colleague passed me along

Microsoft media managers setting up a keyword filter while waiting for AI to replace them

Did it ever occur to you that, with a generic enough prompt, it's Claude Code that decides which libraries to use in the code it produces? 1/4 amplifying.ai/research/cla...

“I could teach you how to make a complex web app in a few weeks.” no you couldn’t, bc even if the code comes out perfect (it won’t), by definition a web app has to be deployed, run and constantly maintained in the face of exploits, changing standards, accessibility & browser bugs, performance…

Today we had a fire alarm in the office. A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details.

I agree. The moment you hook these systems up with your family’s data and accounts you cross a line: from curious to accomplice. The better an engineer you were, the more ashamed you should be.

If @firefox.com put the same energy they put on grafting AI features nobody wants in fixing the profiles user experience I would still have my pinned tabs where they're supposed to be and I wouldn't be searching for a browser alternative.

This thread made me reflect on how better I take scratches, pebbles in brakes calipers and the likes happening during track days compared to the same happening in daily driving. I’ll start calling them “track scars” and be proud of them 😅

Guess my Plex box will wait another bit before happening

The timeline, the tone of their messages and the very problem that ultimately caused the malicious release tell me the maintainers delegated the incident response to an AI agent. And they were pwned twice. Good karma, too bad it’s the users who pay the price of bad engineering.

This was a genuinely fun episode, we have to laugh from time to time or we go insane

So we’re past the point they at least pretend to care, interesting! Then am I allowed to say these scumbags are not needed in a functioning society? Too direct?

I’m going to print, frame and hang this on my living room

Two things to note: - Google, OpenAI and xAI are all open to lift safeguards to their models if that means closing a $200M deal AND screw Anthropic - Dario absolutely isn’t the good guy here, they’re all bad guys Thanks for the attention, we can go back to shepherd our agents now.

On the dangers of reading papers’ titles only. Sigh.

We all know that one guy “I have too many tokens left in my quota this month, what can I do to max out?”.

This.

The DOW is now UNDER 50k also thanks to this misinformation masterpiece. Here’s a better idea, why not making Zitron’s posts viral?

One of the leading investment banks in Italy lost 9% on the stock market mostly because of latest Claude Opus allegedly capable of replacing financial advisors. No way AI could be so bad without the help of poor, incompetent journalism.

Just finished a great episode of @edzitron.com ‘s Better Offline where he chats with @author-calnewport.bsky.social about the three traps in AI reporting: - Vibe reporting - Digital ick - Faux astonishment Pretty crazy when you see things from the right angle! podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/b...
