    Same here and my codex plan. I have to wait until next week to get back to work.

    I, too, have come to this realization. But boy, oh boy, do Europeans get disgusted by the idea. (My partner is European)

    This is going to sound crazy, but I kind of wish they went back to paid accounts. This would stop a lot of this.

    I strongly disagree. It's gone to shit and paying people for attention is killing the platform. It's endless ragebait and nonsense now.

    I think this is a good way to vent. I've done that a few times. Typed up a long, angry rant. Only to delete it. Just make sure this is on your computer and not in a Slack DM or dra…

    I guess that's why the PR industry is worth more than $100 billion.

    Yup, I call it a cartoonish view of the world. I think so many in power now, including lots of people in tech, have bonkers, cartoonish views of the world that just don't map to th…

    Yes, and the sleep tracking that adds or subtracts. While not super accurate, it's good enough for me.

    I was up in the air flying that day. It didn't seem busy at all. Everything was on time, quick, and smooth on both sides. My partner and I commented on how smooth everything went.

    I'll offer another antidote. Every single place I have ever worked at that had such retreats had a big layoff within ~6 months. It's like the CEO or execs see there are a lot of pr…

    Sadly, not a new phenomenon. It does seem to have gotten a lot worse. One time, way back in ~2012, I did an all-day onsite interview with several people, lunch with the team, and e…

    They're still a US company that just launches from there. Headquartered in California.

    Funny you say this. I _almost_ tried this. But it did feel like a person was doing some copy-and-pasting and watching closely, so it wasn't 100% automated.

    Can confirm. I just had a nightmare experience with a company where the customer service sent very ChatGPT-like replies and seemed very unreasonable and AI like. I had to threaten …

    I deeply wish Google would focus on models like Gemma. Small, powerful, open-weight models you can run on phones or regular computer hardware.

    Is this supposed to be a replacement for 2.5 flash?

    I highly recommend you start a YouTube channel and document all this. It sounds like gold and would be really interesting.

    I'm far from being anti-AI, but these guys take it way too far IMO. It's straight-up AI slop. Like a real engineer still needs to be in the loop and drive the tool. Anthropic seems…

    Agreed. It would be nice if it supported London.

    I've been convinced for a while this is the future. A super fast, good enough model, that runs locally and is private.

    The only thing that has worked for me to keep my sleep regular is to go outside first thing in the morning and sit for 15-20 minutes. Rain or shine. Even if it's cold or cloudy. Th…
