Even though I've made this joke myself I actually really hate the "all developers have to be engineering managers now with agents" No, they all need to be tech leads, not ems. Unless you're having to deal with the agents' interpersonal issues and the PM distracting them and getting them promoted and

"The stronger models (Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude 4.6, GPT 5.4) aren’t avoiding small errors better, they delay critical failures to later rounds and experience them in fewer interactions,"

This, and also academic digital infrastructure is being bombarded with "AI" scrappers, causing mass outages, skyrocketing infrastructure costs born by the institutions, and massive spikes in labour needs to cope with these assaults, and this work is chronically underfunded.

So why would there be no Mr Bean without Racing 92, a French rugby club? youtu.be/m6683DwTjnM?...

The are worrying bits to @bsky.app but I do like how stable some of the infrastructure is. I haven't touched tangled.org/paulmwatson.... code for skylink.paulmwatson.com in over a year and it still just works fine.

The coolest thing about programming (not with LLMs, actually coding) is how close it is to spells. When you know how to code, the computer does what you tell it to. It's pleasing and beautiful. Chatbots take away that ability and skill, in totality forever, since they cannot follow instructions.

We need a 72 hour wait on Going Pints With The Lads or Buying A Porsche/Trek.

When I voted to repeal the 8th amendment, I did not do so in the hopes that the government would then impose a totally arbitrary and cruel waiting period to receive healthcare Useless politicians who can only ever follow public opinion when it means they can get more racist and/or more fascist

The bill has been defeated, by 85 votes to 30. Only three government TDs voted in favour, despite having a free vote, with Sinn Féin abstaining.

Je t’aime. From the first. 😢

Would be good if performers, musicians, writers, and other creative workers insisted on organisers not using genAI for advertising festivals, shows and events they're taking part in, in solidarity with visual artists, because it's absolutely everywhere at the moment. We need to stick together!

Are you coding with the AI-LLM agents? According to Microsoft's own research only Python is "ready" for work and their definition of ready is 98%+ accuracy over 20 interactions.

People who don’t separate tea bags when restocking the lot are first up against the wall…

Good omens indeed...

Microsoft Sales: [the AI-LLM agents can] tackle complex, multistep research across your work. Microsoft Research: [the AI-LLM agents] corrupt your documents. They introduce errors when editing work documents, with frontier models losing 25% of document content over 20 delegated interactions.

There has been a massive push particularly from white centrist / ecomodernist circles to urge Asian countries to switch from unhealthy fuels like firewood to fossil gas. But now the price of gas is skyrocketing thanks to the actions of the US president.... www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Yup. "Intelligence" (tokens) are the new NFT. www.theregister.com/ai-ml/2026/0...

No one ever had to yell “adapt or die” to get me to use any other bit of technology in my life.

xAI mining old "twitter files" for people to spam.

Posted an interesting article to an open-data Slack about Automattic's metadata system and honestly the AI slop image is off putting. Makes it look like some spammy hustle culture post.

OpenAI bought Tomoro to consult to and turn enterprises into "intelligence" (token) buyers. Tomoro has this article which inadvertently demonstrates how broken our React frontend web is; what you click on and type into isn't a logical function but a "UI" abstraction. tomoro.ai/insights/fro...

It’s a NFT of intelligence.

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Is our human writing being shaped by years of the AI-LLM voice?

UBI should be pledged to because the threat of the AI Horizon isn’t Artificial Intelligence but Billionaire Economics. They can lose 99% of their wealth to slop and still be the 1% while we can’t .

Years ago, I used Kickstarter to successfully fund documentary work on the decriminalization of pornography. Crowdfunding was critical because major institutions shy away from funding anything to do with sex. I'd be terrified now.

Luddite’s weren’t anti-technology they were anti-exploitation.

The lack of introspection and understanding by the leaders of billion dollar technological systems is worrying. Or just lack of listening since people have been pointing this out for years now. Next they’ll be surprised the AI-LLM picked up on non-fiction like Mein Kampf or the Little Red Book.

And people do not notice this. All these unread documents.

"An artefact exists because human beings have created it. Hammers, laws and symphonies are artefacts too. Their existence depends on human minds and purposes. No artefact, in all the richness of its details, is inevitable.

Researchers found that 23 year old solar panels still retained 87-88% of their functionality--making the case for a circular economy of reusing retired solar panels rather than just recycling their valuable materials. #goodnews #circulareconomy
