Every tech bro rn
🤖 Made with AI
People should always be in control of the future.
OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”.
People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

My TV could do this in 1979
Metal effect is now available for SwiftUI. As expected, it reacts and bends when a magnet is nearby.

My digital refuge - the identical software, configs, #tmux layout and key bindings, no matter which machine I run it on

In Canada we call them loonies. I presume you will do the same.

Indeed. We’re currently actively hiring for a Head of Eng and it’s been brutal.
If you’re interested, do let me know.

Happy 30th anniversary to Quake, a game that changed my life. Dug out my original copy. Same box, manual, and disc I've had since 1996. Three decades later I'm still amazed I got to be part of its history.
I wonder how many millions of flags got captured in those decades.

I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.
One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.
Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.
You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.
The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.
And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.
To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.
You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.
Enjoy.
