My hottest AI take is that the executive class is petrified of labor and saw that whatever else LLMs are/aren't, they're fine labor-smashers + that a ton of ordinary people find the artificial hyper-complexity and scamminess of modern life and work so unbearable that they'll throw a god-box at it.

man, this whole thread

It's not enough for me to have the most successful live-service game in the world, I also need to save money by not paying my workers. It's not enough to have a technology that lets me not pay my workers, people have to keep liking me after I start using it. I'm the 837th richest person in the world

I had my AI agent create an app called “Lunch” to help me with decision fatigue and boost my productivity. It has a few pictures of things I might like to eat. Tapping one spawns a subagent to order that item on Uber Eats and 60-90 minutes later I’m eating. It’s 600 thousand lines of JavaScript.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

the thing about programming is the finding out is usually pretty disconnected from the fucking around, be it a dev/ops split, or user/developer, or even past/future, people do not get to experience the consequences of their choices and are not incentivised to imagine them either

a lot of people have encountered the overconfident stem nerd, the guy who programs and so everything else must be easy from the outside it does look like "i'm smart at code, so therefore i can do anything", but i promise you that they're like this with code too

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

I really enjoy Mike's writing, and this is another good one 🙂

when someone's linkedin bio says they're a "Founder" it's the quickest way to identify them as a cold blooded sociopath who would slit your throat for your pocket change

Sweeney tries to make out he's saying this in defence of the beleaguered indie devs who want to use AI, but remember that his company laid off 1000 people earlier this year before pivoting to AI. He's taking this stance for one reason: he loves money

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

People are acting like this raises major questions about What To Believe and I can help you with that: don’t believe the liar

this is the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

Mark Zuckerbergs effective tax rate in California was less than 1% for the last six years.

QRS with your most popular piece It’s gotta be this D&D/Muppets crossover mini with Statler and Waldorf as an ettin. He’s an NPC in my Muppet-themed adventure, “15 Seconds to Curtain”

A telling version of this was Dan Sullivan accusing Mary Peltola of getting debate questions beforehand because he doesn't realize that he's an idiot.

This Swanboy comic really got me. Good job @bransonreese.bsky.social, I hope you're happy that I guffawed out loud swanboy.com/comic/puzzle...
