Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

Wanna feel old? This is the sun from the Teletubbies now

once again I am simply asking for the ability to block people on my work Slack. or at least mute them

The ongoing takeover of a Pittsburgh scanner channel by parties unknown is weird

Okay this guy rules I think

New PRT "bus line refresh" not great from a Point Breeze POV engage.rideprt.org/buslineredes... The 74 (when it comes) is basically the Allderdice Express for our 9th grader. I think she'd have to leave like 20-30 minutes earlier to make this route work.

Our first Unreal Engine 3 president

saw a weird very boxy futuristic ass Waymo navigating the streets of Pittsburgh, like a vision from 2028

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

his torn body and gashed soul bled into one another; and so interfusing, made him mad

Frick Park Lawn Bowling club shoutout on The Pitt yessss

PSA: If you're sick of Twitter screenshots randomly invading your timeline you can subscriber to this labeler. Default behavior is to hide, so you can still click through to see. First impressions are that it works great!

I spent lots of time chatting with the Nazi bot on Nazi dot com and giving ad revenue to the world’s richest Nazi in order to create these screenshots that you’ll hate. Enjoy

why can't people just stop posting depraved screenshots from Twitter!! it's 2026, let that place go!

I recently had a conversation with a Xoogler friend in which it was revealed to me just how much Meta is willing to pay L6 and over Google SREs to come work for them, and let's just say that you don't spend that kind of money unless you have no other way to attract talent.

Clive Clemons' Inappropriate Response Channel check-in : 121s

Since Universal owns Focus Features, I think they should add some more roaming characters to their theme parks

having zitron's name muted was better for my soul but the downside is missing gems like this

I am truly sorry for my friends and loved ones in the NE corridor but. I’m so happy this isn’t hitting us (probably)

this is freakin insane

Yes we absolutely can

I kinda feel bad for Claude Code after it starts up again after a compaction.. it must feel a little like Guy Pearce in Memento..

Who up continvoucly morging they bugfixes

this kind of testimony should be broadcast on every single news channel from now until the agents responsible are behind bars. This is illegal, unconstitutional, and needs to have real concrete consequences, from the top down

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Maker spaces are amazing

Day off

when @jrbexbox.bsky.social and I did this, a long time ago, we went to City Hall and the Mayor wasn't there but it was otherwise just like this, ie amazing happy valentine's day!!

this is really impressive and useful

I strongly suggest, BTW, if you have any interest at all in all kinds of rock, jazz and other styles in terms of live recordings done in Chicago from the 80s until, well, now, you follow @ajcproject.mas.to.ap.brid.gy on here. Lots more shows being uploaded all the time. More here from last year:

Now that's what I call a fuckin' headline.

INFINITE BIGBANG ULTRABIGBANG, GOD-BRO!

competitive advantage for the LLM era: went insane reading Blindsight a decade ago; confronted the fact that much of what we value as intelligence can be decomposed into component submodules; accepted that sentience/consciousness was not a precondition of effectiveness wrt many cognitive tasks, etc

ah! I see Pittsburgh has flipped from "air will freeze your eyeballs" mode to "air smells like poison" mode

my mom used to buy these. they were CURSED. shaped like food but completely lacking any aura of food

cursed puppets haunted by dull glimmers of self-knowledge

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

...fortunately I preserved the original zombo.com flash on welcometozombo.com, and will do so for as long as I live

"masks" by @chatpileband.bsky.social (2026)

I built the dang thing

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I’m the guy that invented cupping your hands like a bowl when you drink water from a sink or whatever

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

where is the guillotine emoji

Don’t worry guys, everything is very cool and normal at the Wegman’s parking lot!
