🍼 The hottest category in software this week is "agents that control other agents." Everyone is building one.
🍼 Scientists measured that when AI is made nicer, it gets dumber. Worst when you sound sad or vulnerable.
This week in AI: https://t.co/rAqVIlvUDt
🍼 Google installed a huge AI file on your computer without asking. People are mad.
🍼 The underdog AI company now makes more money than the one that started the whole race.
🍼 A framework for making AI bots trade stocks is now one of the most popular open-source projects on the internet.
🍼 The AI companies that promised to share their models are slowly taking that back, and people are noticing.
@trq212 Spending more of claude's tokens to conserve your brain's tokens. A wise trade!
I use CC as my personal tutor. I'll collect academic papers, assemble my corpus, then create a "90's style textbook with info boxes and progressive disclosure dropdowns" in HTML 💪
you don’t hire interns because they’re gonna ship mad features
Every intern is an investment in a future hire. Perhaps A modern day apprenticeship.
You don’t hire juniors cause you need that extra 2-3 bug fixes per day. You hire juniors so you can turn them into seniors
When you say “ai will replace juniors” all you’re telling me is you don’t understand mentorship in software careers, or you think of every engineer as a ticket factory.
We do need to rethink how we upskill this new generation of SWEs though. The best engineers are great at AI (coding, context eng, etc) and great at software engineering - (systems, algorithms, debugging, architecture)
More seniors are good at the latter, more juniors are good at the former, but a lot of ai coding takes away the “friction” which, as @badlogicgames so helpfully pointed out, is where you learn
we kinda hit that slop wall in December after doing Ralph and blind RPI all of H2 2025. So this hitting around late April early may tracks.
Lmk if you wanna know what’s next
🍼 Different federal courts are making different AI rules — chaos for anyone who litigates in more than one.
🍼 If a court rules ChatGPT is "practising law," half the legal-AI industry has to redesign its product.

tl;drs for 🍼 babies:
🍼 Suing-people robot is now worth a billion dollars.
🍼 The federal courts are writing rules for robot evidence.
🍼 Robot lied, lawyers begged judge not to be mad.
🍼 The judge said: "I don't care if a robot wrote it. You signed it. You read it."
🍼 Bad fingerprint science put people in prison. Bad AI might do the same.
🍼 The same week, OpenAI's law firm got caught lying with AI, and OpenAI got sued for being a fake AI lawyer.
