    For sure, but I strongly doubt that we would need nearly as many.

    Big if it pans out. Economic and financial ripple effects would be huge aside from the obvious: - reduction in electricity usage - OpenAI / Anthropic are dead in the water unless t…

    It's the year 2026, I refuse to believe that phone companies cannot figure out who is a scammer and who is not.

    That must be why xcancel exists, because it was such a pleasant experience.

    No guy, this is the one, this is the coding agent that everyone is going to use now, instead of the one that is in the editor or part of their existing ai providers offering.

    It’s because of the idiocy of p&l tracking. The hardware, store, and games all need to be independently profitable. Once they are, they all need to be more and more profitable. Fin…

    I feel like we are going to look back on this era of llm usage like we do at the period of time when we thought radiation was magic. Consuming radium and using uranium glass, that’…

    That's a great comparison, human vs ai on a wall of text. The problem is that it doesn't fit the sales pitch of LLMs and agents - humanlike or better, repeatably, 24/7, for a fract…

    That close out is brutal, "to our teammates who are leaving". Real "Oh no! So sorry to see you go totally by your own choice" vibes. The business is "solid", but is it not profitab…

    Also so that the engineers have something for the resume that looks and sounds impressive. They don't know that Dario told me Fable is going to hack the planet.

    This will only delay the inevitable. Sitting on some magic prompts is hardly the moat they need.

    I mostly answer unknown calls with monotone "hello" and then wait for their introduction before talking normally.

    Wankfluencer has now been added to my lexicon. It's a word that feels like it should always have existed, but didn't. So very aptly describes these personas who would pimp their ow…

    Codex can also delete all your files if you ask it to. Just because it can do it, doesn't mean that it's a good idea. Crazy to me that people are producing code they don't read, ex…

    From what I've seen, LLMs just accelerate or compound this whole process as well. Everyone has the same group think, it bleeds into the way the LLM generates code and ultimately it…

    The growing problem with this and many other AI offerings is the asymmetry of effort. All of them take my notes, meeting transcripts, jira tickets, code, websites, and give me more…

    How many UE5 games run even remotely well? I've not played one. Doom runs like butter on the switch. Might be hard to run, I don't know, but at least it was well made.
