Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Today I published a video where I demo one of the most amazing pieces of hardware that was never sold - a pixel perfect Atari 2600 emulator in the form factor of a Sony Walkman. It could also emulate a C64... This video is a tribute to my friend who made it, and his brilliance. youtu.be/S0NU5KEuNuc

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

I wrote something new! It’s a UI design history essay about Mac’s Control Panel, and it uses emulation in some… maybe new and maybe interesting ways? aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

These are real tweets today by Grok, Elon Musk’s AI, in response to a fake tweet by a fake leftist activist named “Cindy Steinberg.” Unbelievable.

the stuff going on with Grok is so deeply and novelly evil. Anyone entertaining the idea of becoming allies of convenience with the people perpetrating it needs to be shut down

The thing about Grok isn't just that it's a Nazi, it's that it tells on all the other LLMs. Outsourcing critical parts of your brain/workflows/team to systems tuned in more subtle ways by companies that may not share your values is just as risky as obvious bias or hallucination
