This!

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

@SpencerAlthouse @raehanbobby Awesome on every level (except I will miss his daily dose of savvy humor so much!)

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

I love this so much!

this was so sweet. Stephen Colbert just ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney. his family and the show's crew then joined them on stage before Paul turned off the lights to the Ed Sullivan Theater

@GavinNewsom Thank you!

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

@Jo_inhd @marwilliamson Yes. Evil. Must be consequences.

@ThisWeekABC HUGE error to not remind American public Dems have offered REPEATEDLY to isolate and fund TSA. It is Republicans refusing to fund air travel!

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

@SecDuffy @TSA @POTUS Very disingenuous of you to make it sound like TSA shutdown at Dems feet. Dems have offered REPEATEDLY to isolate and fund TSA, Republicans say no!! We are not dumb.

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

@elonmusk Not true. Raising fears of election fraud is dishonest and designed to create chaos and unrest. Why are you doing this?

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

@SenMarkKelly Senator, the vast majority of Americans are very grateful your service and your demonstrated commitment to the USA. The only way I can explain these negative responses are twofold: planted Russian propaganda agents and purposefully twisted algorithms that make them rise. Ignore.

@MalarkeyControl @AnnaOdesitka @Maks_NAFO_FELLA What you don’t see on this map is the fact that 75 million blue state residents (and most capital cities in red states) voted blue/for democracy. 77 Million deluded Americans in red states voted for a dictator.

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

@SpeakerJohnson Sir, this is simply untrue. A Speaker of character, who truly cared about the American people and the separation of powers, would be calling back Congress to do the work you are paid to do. Letting people starve while partying at Mar-a-Lago is simply unacceptable. You know this.

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

@elonmusk No, in my view you resurrected and provided a platform for hate speech… not free speech…

Why would you do that?

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

@infantrydort Your post was truly shocking to me. I am sorry you witnessed such brutal acts. I am even sorrier there exists such evil in our world. We live very protected lives in America. I, for one, am grateful. If you served for us under the America flag, I thank you for your service

[JM Roberts @jmr_notes]

@nikicolieolie @GavinNewsom You may be interested to know Gavin Newsom removed over 2000 of homeless from SF streets as Mayor with his Care not Cash program. I voted for him specifically because of that. He needs a similar strategy on a statewide scale, but he is a smart/savvy leader. I have faith in him.

The Tech observer in me finds this pretty interesting..

Almost everything about how we’re building enterprise software products is changing right now. For years when you built SaaS products, your entire design focus was how a user would interact with the system to accomplish their task, by themselves or collaboratively.

Now many of the core design challenges are more about how the user will work with AI Agents to do this task. This turns the questions into how the user will setup, deploy, orchestrate, or provide context to AI Agents to execute work, and then review and incorporate their work after.

Does this happen in an existing UI? Do you do this through chat? Is it through task list or queue? Is it through a workflow builder? Do you describe it as an Agent or just productive the specific outcome the customer wants?

You can see the early differences playing out just in the AI coding space right now, where there’s a debate between the IDE, terminal, web UI, or just using slack.

In all cases, one thing that seems to be clear is in many ways, to the user, software directionally gets simpler.

The nobs, toggles, switches, and components needed for people to execute tasks are less necessary in a world of AI Agents. The APIs to these capabilities still matter for the AI Agents to use (so they don’t go away), but they’re primarily leveraged in the background. And when they eventually show up for the user, it’s more for advanced use cases, exception handling, or the review process, as opposed to the common activity.

We’re in easily the most interesting period of software design that we’ve ever been in. We have to design for users as well as autonomous agents at the same time. And we’re only in the beginning phases of what that looks like.

@pulte That would be a terrible move -- triggering instability in our markets and causing investors to question the objectivity of the Fed. Be smart.
