    I think some of them intentionally model themselves after the evil characters in fiction. I remember seeing Musk talk one time about how he loves the game Deus Ex. And there's an a…

    Society at large is getting worse at critical thinking, because we are increasingly offloading that thinking to AI

    It's a nice Saturday afternoon, and I'm literally in Midtown right now, wandering around after walking down 5th Avenue (it's shut down to cars today for "Summer Streets"). Perfect …

    There's no mechanism that could possibly cancel the mid-terms. What we should worry about is the election being interfered with, and swayed by intimidation and disinformation, NOT …

    It's no longer safe to even use a period tracking app in many US states now. The women I know are all cautioning each other to go back to pen and paper, and ditch anything app base…

    Switched to Codex last week, and I'm already MUCH happier than I have been with Claude Code. Which surprised me.

    The first reply clearly being a copy and paste from Claude made me want to vomit If people absolutely need to use AI to write replies, they NEED to start including a "everything af…

    All those billions spent on tokens by Meta, and not a single iota of value generated by any of it

    Protip: in the olden days we used to be able to read and write code ourselves. Worth trying while Claude is down! You might have fun and learn something!

    Sounds like it's working for you, but none of that explains to me why every engineer should be doing that, and every day

    I read the entire paragraph, and the entire article. Nothing in there explained to me why every engineer should be using AI every day.
