Marco Rubio realising he has to move to Avignon and be the Antipope

Anyone who hasn't re-examined their priors about AI coding or AI in general this year is probably wrong

I wrote this six years ago x.com/rhcm123/stat...

Does anyone else have their agent reading poetry?

I'm hearing that on his deathbed President Trump received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the shahada

I suspect we will hit a trough of disillusionment as companies struggle with the anecdotes of individual or team level AI productivity gains not resulting in organizational level improvement in results. The question then becomes what process changes at the organizational level unlock these gains?

For organizations, reaping AI productivity gains is hard because current processes aren't designed for AI's pace. AI creates "hurry up and wait" situations where building features is faster than even scheduling stakeholder meetings. So even if individual workers are faster, org throughput is not

US was struck by an unprecedented plague during his term and as far as I can tell literally nobody put forward the hypothesis “god is punishing us because he doesn’t like that guy”

The whole debate about public / private is stupid. The post-1980 system of public / private partnership in the development of new drugs worked well. The right wants to destroy it because they hate public R&D, the left because they feel like the private sector does nothing. They're both wrong.

I’m sure you’ve heard reports of the research study showing that open source developers using AI who thought they were more productive were actually -19% slower. That was in 2025. They reran the study earlier this year and developers are seeing a +18% productivity boost.

no, listen, look at the cabinet, this might actually, in fact, be true

What in the actual fuck was that

@coloradotravis.bsky.social gonna need a fact check

They cut off their own hands on Week 1 and they've been bludgeoning everyone and everything with the bloody stumps ever since. Which sucks and they have done a lot of damage but holy shit they had an incredible apparatus at their disposal and they just... disposed of it.

Generating $2B/month in revenue but raising over $100B for the 2nd time in a year. Anthropic is going to win by default.

We can say we are winning the military war, and it’s true. But it’s also irrelevant. We “won” the military war in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan too. A tactical win but a strategic loss, is a defeat. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

lmfao i missed this

Vinod Khosla is pushing to end taxing investment income at a lower rate (capital gains) than salaries then using that money to end taxes on people earning under $100K. He argues this is needed to address job displacement due to AI. This is the bare minimum and more policy changes will be needed.

Imagine explaining current events to 2015

It's well and good to want things, but what are you willing to do to get it? How many lives are you willing to lose for it? How much of an economic impact are you willing to accept? Have you given any thought to the possible unintended consequences of trying this? These fucking children.

Trump: “okay can you guys just say I won and we go back to status quo, no harm no foul” IRGC: “lol, and furthermore lmao”

welp

I dunno, maybe it’s just me but…. I’ve become more hopeful as this admin has gone on? Yeah things suck and are getting worse but they’re so incompetent they’re nowhere near setting up a permanent power structure. They’re pissing off everyone, including their own supporters.

Yeah this doesn’t sound like it’s almost over

Black market in routers coming soon

Whose government is that?

Every tech person I know that’s gone deep in AI comes away realizing that Claude can already do a surprising chunk of their job and this is the worst the tech will ever be. How far behind tech is the rest of the world? Optimistically 3-5 years, but big tech's pace since November has surprised me.

Are we using any of the same munitions in Iran as we sent Ukraine? Pretty sure we’re not

I care about winning and also I care about not being a trash human. I will do a lot to accomplish the former but I draw the line at compromising on the latter

Sounds like a good time to cut their oil tariffs

Pound sand loser

All this idiotic bullshit, drama, and malevolence in the name of proving how strong and manly they are - by the most insecure, sniveling, weak-minded fools; assholes incapable of recognizing let alone ever embodying a slight modicum masculine virtue... Troubled boys poorly cosplaying as men.

this is sick

God I hope this is finally the thing that kills off Oracle

This is fascinating.

the strategic genius in action:

trump gets so panicked about the strait that tulsi releases the pee tape

I don’t remember my ICQ UIN but it was also 7 digits and started with a 1 so suck it

I was told President Peace would not be involving us in more overseas wars

please sum up the electoral bench of the contemporary Republican Party

Modern Conservatism was never just, or even predominantly, (small-c) conservative: A conservatism of limits, of conserving and preserving, was part of the mix. But the notion that such a conservatism was failing to preserve the “natural order” was a defining sensibility from the start.

I think Trump is missing out on selling naming rights here. Operation ‘Cheesy Gordita Crunch’ has a certain ring to it. U.S. and Israel strike Iran with operation 'Epic Fury' www.npr.org/2026/02/28/n...

Well, FIFA sure has mud on its face.

anthropic's hard line was not requiring the government to abide by an agreement. their hard line was not abliterating refusal to kill or surveil americans.

I don’t know why but my brain read this like a wrestling announcer going “JD Vance from the top rope”

While Jevon's Paradox is true... and the marginal cost of software coming down will mean more software demands... in the meantime there are real impacts before we reach a new equilibrium.

fuck these people trans rights are human rights
