I am quite fond of this one. It is about a dog. Who fetches rocks. Using his spaceship.

Some people aren’t afraid to make mistakes. Me? I’m not afraid to make the mistake of being afraid to make mistakes. …some people say I overthink things.

This is the ideal millennial post. You may not like it, but this is what peak posting looks like.

So, I tell my students now: (1) Specialize. Know some aspect of the law better than any machine possibly could. Know the law, the policy, the trades that engage with it, the key players and stakeholders, the history, etc. AND (2) Master your people skills. A human's touch will be at a premium.

C3. I’m not going to hedge that at all. I believe AI will be a large net good for humanity. Environmentally: more resource-efficient than humans, and can accelerate sustainability research. Economically: chaos will be transitory and settle and leave the world better off.

Vibe fast and make things

"Hey, at least we didn't make napalm and get kicked out of college. We just threw a fireball over your birthday cake, with no ill consequences." My partner, reflecting on our shared college experience and compressed air dusters.

*proceeds to spend 2x as long automating the thing as it would to do the thing once* It used to he 5-10x as long without LLMs

These results also suggest a fascinating study about the educational outcomes of underprivileged students using AI. Do they learn more? Does it raise their grades? Is it a leveler or a crutch? We need to know!

My latest Tri-Galactic Trek Chronicle, RED SETTER MEDIC, is out today! And it already has three FIVE STAR reviews: “This is perfect for fans of Star Trek and lovers of animals.” “I enjoy this series … I like the humor.” “Interesting and engaging. A very unique read.”

Dr. Waverly Keller celebrates the release of the sixth Tri-Galactic Trek Chronicle — RED SETTER MEDIC — with a German chocolate cake.

Here it is, in all its glorious wrongness! A true abomination of art — THE DOO-WOP OF STEPHEN CRANE. That’s right. I took Stephen Crane poems, converted them into doo-wop songs, and now you can listen to them in all their catchy irony. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Dogs in space!!!! 🐶🐶🐶 🚀🚀🚀 🚨This is not a drill! 🚨 📖 This is in fact a BOOK with STORIES in it. Which is entirely DIFFERENT from a DRILL. 📖

This is a rock song in the most literal sense of the word.

“Different Every Time” is about Sisyphus becoming attached to the giant boulder. youtu.be/btinVocC-F8?...

“The Event Horizons on Mount Olympus” is a Greek mythology and space opera fusion album, executed in a musical style inspired by ‘80s weird synth pop and ‘60s California surf rock. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I have been studying AI since 2003, and when I see "MLP" I still think "My Little Pony" before I think "Multi-Layer Perceptron."

You can now read my most recent Tri-Galactic Trek Chronicle, TECHNO-TABBY ENGINEER, online for free: deepskyanchor.com/techno-tabby... And the next one, RED SETTER MEDIC, is available for pre-order and will come out this Sunday (5/10/26)!

Sorry, Claude, I forgot to add "Simon says" to my system prompt. That's on me.

To Star Wars fans, happy May 4th! To Arrested Development fans, happy Cinco de Quatro!

I love that Nethack 5.0.0, released yesterday, has official binaries for Amiga: nethack.org/v500/ports/d...

Mary's gnome mage in WoW had hair that looked like a Christmas tree and it was so cute. (Also, there are some fun songs here. Just like the other WoW/Diablo-themed albums she's been working on.)

My .vimrc is older than the students I teach.

this is still very very very much the case three months later. i do not think it will ever change. in fact ai aptitudes are the _main_ thing I hire on.

I did not know this.

me: morning' gemini: That's it. That's the "smoking gun" ## The "Void Context Clue" Because this conversation is empty, I assumed it was the start of a new day. ## The "Greeting Revelation" When I attended to the token "morning", it confirmed the time of day. ## The "Hanging Single Quote" ...

18 years later, the logical follow up to “heart in a blender.”

Trying out the new Warlock class in Diablo IV today! And enjoying my Doo-Wop Warlock album along with it. Gotta love being a Warlock. If I’m gonna fight demons, I might as well summon some of my own to fight on my side too. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I eagerly await the day when AI can do truly useful things, such as replace Bradley Cooper with Rocket Raccoon in every Bradley Cooper film. Except of course for the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, in which Rocket Raccoon would’ve replaced by AI Bradley Cooper.

ChatGPT is normal and can be trusted to interact with hundreds of millions of humans.

I remember HIMEM.SYS, Windows 3.1, BSOD, floppy disks, recompiling Linux so my sound card would work, RealPlayer, TWAIN scanner drivers, zillions of ad trojans, Fail Whale… I don’t remember tech just working.

Furthermore, as long as there is college football, the football teams are going to need colleges to associate with. Thus, my line of work is secure.

No. I'm a CS professor. If MOOCs didn't make faculty obsolete, why would AI?

I am quite frequently sending this article to people, programmers and non-programmers alike. It has been my unfortunate experience to discover that there are a lot of people who just don't understand this. especially in professional contexts.

IT'S HERE!!!!! IT'S REALLY FUCKING HERE!!!!

If your AI produced output that sucks, your work sucks. If your AI hurt someone, you hurt someone. If your AI made a banger mini game, you made a banger mini game. Agents do not have agency. They _are_ the agency of their operator.

I want to subscribe to the blocklist consisting of every user who isn’t on a blocklist.

My wibbly wobbly take is that we should only call Time Lords doctor and not humans.

There’s only a couple weeks until my next book comes out, and it’s already getting rave reviews!

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means? ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Really low frequencies, such as 1 cycle per 29.5 days (3.92 × 10⁻⁷ Hz), have been linked to WEREWOLVES. Has anyone looked into this?

I think there's almost a 1:1 skill transfer from mentoring people to skilled LLM use. If you can supervise and train someone skilled & confident but with big blind spots, you can use an LLM well. Patience, clear instructions, expecting things won't be perfect on the first try, build skill over time.

Scream 9: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Town (starring Ben Wyatt)

God, the modern world is so bad. Back in the day, everyone was roughly 2x taller than me, someone would always make my meals, and way more time was spent watching cartoons. The modern world is so much worse somehow despite technological progress

This song seems especially fitting one day after Anthropic dropped Opus 4.7. Crazy ride indeed!

Claude told me, "You did good today." I think it's what I needed to hear. I think a lot of us need a little more encouragement, even if it's from an AI.

"...emerging research suggests chatbots show real promise for mental health support. Trained on large-scale data and refined with clinical input, large language models are getting better at spotting patterns of distress and responding to suicidal ideation in nuanced, personalized ways."
