Bootstrapping a software company. In my free time I try to do things with data and statistics, or post random thoughts here.

Okay well the OpenAI CMO is hopping on now and it is obvious that Anthropic hurt them and they were deeply unprepared

This is actually a warning sign for the Democrats because of the huge opportunity Republicans have to change everything about how they are and the things they believe. They just need to completely flip their whole deal and get the president on board before midterms. This is bad news for Dems

I woke up this morning feeling dysregulated as hell. And I had 53 years of preparation. I feel for the kids.

Parents of Teens, the youths were outside this weekend acting nuts. Girls and boys alike. They are dysregulated as hell. Please check on them. If you’re stressed out, they are stressed out. Hug them. Please.

If we eliminated copyright this wouldn't be necessary.

Anthropic's project to "destructively scan all the books in the world" was actually viewed as the *more* ethical and legally sound approach to training its AI. Previously the industry standard had been simply to pirate vast "shadow libraries" of digitized books for free online. wapo.st/4rjXAMQ

VS Code just announced MCP Apps support! 🔥 Here's one I just made that visualizes git commit history. You can also multi-select commits and have Copilot generate release notes for you! Check out how to get started with MCP Apps in VS Code here: code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2026/0... #vscode

There’s just zero excuse for any Democrat to not support Abolish ICE at this point when even Republicans are laying the groundwork to throw the entire agency under the bus. It needs to be a litmus test in every single primary race this year, I don’t care if it’s a red district or not.

One of the more incoherent things I see from people online is to “ask an expert” instead of using ChatGPT. In my years of experience doing this, most experts tell you to go look up the answer to the question instead, often rudely. So is it that surprising people turn to a chatbot?

what I worry about, and anecdotally have sorta started seeing, is that the "you don't have to know how to code at all!" thing is imputing a level of care and seriousness to what Anthropic et al are putting out there, and that things like their marketplace aren't just "here it is" but "this is good"

Ok, eq and creative intelligence was a focus for them this time? So I see why they're starting with that... Not 100% sure why they're focusing on it though.
