There's no alternative word for "thesaurus"

Pulling the ladder up, AI style.

BREAKING NEWS: Anthropic's latest model will NOT help you if it thinks your ML research/ML engineering is interesting, and/or will secretly degrade its IQ so that the average engineer won't notice. We are already seeing Anthropic's latest model's moderation filters our GPU inference research and programming 😭

@samlambert Wait until we have mandatory interstitials in coding output. I am highly confident they will push up the tier pricing and force ads throughout all the lower plans.

[Eric Wright @discoposse]

I need to extend this to include M now. Urgh.

@Nicolascole77 @sweatystartup When the rug pull is the rug holding earth up, we had better be careful.

Watching your kamal deploy and the log stops streaming for a few seconds

[Eric Wright @discoposse]

Do you even loop, bro?

[Eric Wright @discoposse]

Another secret S-1. I guess that’s just how we roll now.

With how tragically bad the quality of output people are accepting, I’m sure the next wave of SDR emails will just be:

“Are you <role> who does <function> with a need to stop <negative outcome>?

If you are in the buying window, able to influence purchases, have budget and urgency, and have the problem we solve, we can help.”

I can't even guess what's next, but it will be equally comical.

[Eric Wright @discoposse]

It was foretold and we didn't even realize it 😂

[Kirk Marple @KirkMarple]

It’s time.

[Kirk Marple @KirkMarple]

It’s time.

So, have IPO quiet periods become measured in hours or are we just bypassing the quiet period bit altogether now?

[Eric Wright @discoposse]

There have been so many versions of Ops in just the last 10-15 years

- Ops
- DevOps
- NoOps
- AIOps
- CloudOps
- DevSecOps
- Agentic Ops

The modifier keeps changing, but it’s still Ops under the cover, and still very human-centric.

Media sites/companies aren't losing people to short attention spans. They are creating the reason to leave.

Why would you, as a media creator, complain about people not being able to stay on a page when the first 30 seconds on any news site is like playing whack-a-mole to stop popovers, autoplay videos, and slide-in ads.

If you have the patience and willingness to click your way to the article, then it's about 20% content to non-content ratio on the page.

You aren't "losing" your audience. You're intentionally driving them away by choosing the worst UX pattern.

And then imagine being asked to pay to subscribe. Wow!

[Eric Wright @discoposse]

It seems that 4 images per post is the new AI generated slop pattern.

[Eric Wright @discoposse]

You can bet that by end of day today there will be a job posting somewhere asking for 5 years of "loop engineering" as a requirement.
