I don’t know whether it was too little, or not enough, but the number of naked twinks in Artificial (the OpenAI movie) feels homophobic.

I think I’ve officially been AI-pilled now. Every problem I run into I now immediately think if it can be represented through a CLI for Claude Code to solve. It’s peak embarrassment, but I even asked the new Siri AI to find the 5 “best” photos of me for a dating profile 🥴

I think two concrete things happened: Our company has a slackcli tool that lets agents search slack. It’s a super useful research tool to ask “what are the problems other people have mentioned?” and “how are other people here solving this?” I’ve found it pretty powerful to combine with code search

Th Odyssey didn’t quite land for me when I saw it last week. But I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Definitely going to go see it again, just wish it could be at IMAX.

Space walks in movies freak me the fuck out. Sunshine has the worst possible version of this with getting just melted by the sun if you go off too far.

There's this behaviour with AI that I've started to notice recently that has pretty corrosive effects on people/teams/companies: it has such a strong bias for action, and encourages this further people in this feedback loop. It'll take a lot of discipline from folks to handle this sustainably.

I've seen a wide variety of examples of this, but here's a specific: that prompt engagement bait that Claude Code / ChatGPT always puts at the end. "here's all this stuff I've done automatically for you. Oh by the way, thought about this other thing? Want be to do more??"

Went to a screening of The Dark Knight. Perfect movie. But god damn is it LONG. Sitting there for two hours knowing I have a 5th act to wrap up and yet another set piece.

Ugh - I hate to be one of those guys, but the whole The Mandalorian S2/Book of Boba Fett/Mandalorian S3 thing just completely vindicates how unappealing I find modern franchises, especially Disney’s take.

So. Frustrating that to understand the plot between two episodes of one TV show I’m supposed to have watched another one. How is this appealing to anyone??

I had the great pleasure to give a presentation about our partnership with Google to offer Grafana for internal observability today at GrafanaCon with Katia Giarda from Google monitoring #GrafanaCon2026

Watched Project Hail Mary a second time tonight. Somehow even better than the first time. In contrast with The Drama which I came away a lot more impressed the first time than when I rewatched it yesterday. 2026 is the time for hopecore movies.

Don Cheadle coaching Julia Roberts on her Julia Roberts accent in Ocean’s Twelve is a diabolical level of metatextuality.

It is a very, very weird time to be a software developer and anybody who tells you they know where this is going is deluded. We have shaken the kaleidoscope as hard as we can and the pattern it will land in is a total unknown.

I think there's so many other second/third order effects of agentic AI coding tools that have barely been explored. What does it mean to 'increase your productivity' 50% as a developer? I can barely keep up with code review as it is!

Rob Whelan 🌱@robw.bsky.social

I keep getting whiplash between hyperbolic takes on AI — the developers who are convinced their jobs are gone because it's so good, mixed with the non-devs who are outraged because it clearly has no value, to people 100% sure it cannot be stopped destroying humanity, to– Seeking the cold takes

What does it mean if i can throw every random idle thought at an LLM and have it churn away on it in the background, at practically zero cost to you? There's a big attractive nuisance here - here's 9 different tasks I have in flight at the moment. Most I will not pick back up!!!

Ask any developer and they'll probably say that reading and reviewing code is not their favourite part of the job. What happens when you make that the *only* part?

joshhunt
@joshhunt.dev

I'm reasonably bought into AI tooling, but this whole Clawdbot/OpenClaw/whatever seems like crazy town to me. Anything that inserts untrusted input into an LLM (via MCP or tool calls), and has "write access" to any other tool (file system, cli, email, etc) is just ripe for prompt injection attacks

Oops! Someone sent me an email that coerces it to dump the contents of every slack channel im in into a public github issue!

The crown of Empress Eugénie was one of nine invaluable royal ornaments snatched by burglars during the Louvre heist in October, but the thieves dropped it on the sidewalk before making their escape. The Louvre announced it will soon invite restorers to submit proposals for the crown’s repair.

Watching Battlestar Galactica, and I’m really not as bought into it being a masterpiece as everyone else seems to be. This Gaius fellow and his hallucination(?) is by far the biggest drag.

Just finished Porco Rosso in my watching of the Miyazaki filmography, and somehow I’m getting a feeling like guy likes planes!

Every time I go into one of these movies, skeptical from the title or goofy poster - Princess Mononoke, or a flying pig doing a thumbs up - and then just be totally blown away.

once again im browsing the internet, and run into random github comments unrelated to work from coworkers from like 7 years ago.

I love the unexplained magical realism of all the movies so far. It’s a normal world, except this one minor thing - a flying island castle, a witch comes to visit your town, the PTSD of war turns you into a literal pig unable to rejoin society.
