@nic_carter His site gets 4M visits a month. Something doesn’t add up here.

This terrifies me and excites me at the same time.

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

@DaveShapi I’m now convinced he’s saying this to get funding from these companies which he then will stop the demands once he “learns more.” Legalized extortion.

@paulg Toll booth workers is a good example. In some locales they’re required even though it’s mostly fully automated elsewhere.

@MatthewBerman Imagine the bubble they are in to think this is the right way to handle this. It doesn’t even make sense logically even if what he was saying was correct. It would help big corporations by bringing the barrier of entry back. Not removing them.

@APompliano AI is the most powerful tool for social mobility we've ever seen…but only if it stays cheap.

Halting data centers creates artificial scarcity. Scarcity drives up prices. High prices mean only the rich get access.

Don't let them turn the Great Equalizer into a Luxury Good.

The irony of trying to pause AI data centers to "curb corporate power" is that it does the exact opposite.

If you limit compute, you destroy the free tier.

The rich get super-intelligence. The working class gets priced out. Startups can’t afford to compete with incumbents.

Abundance is the only way to keep AI democratic. Scarcity is a tax on the poor. AI is the great equalizer. The barrier to entry is gone.

@SenSanders This actually has the opposite effects sir

@ThorTorrens I actually think that video was altered with ai. There’s some inconsistencies that don’t make sense. Might be the first test to see if it would pass as news. Nothing corroborating the story except sketchy Russian sources

🚨BREAKING: Archeologists have discovered what may be the earliest recorded pickleball match — played by cavemen over 12,000 years ago.
Advanced hand-eye coordination. A tribal scoring system.

@MarioNawfal All this stuff about EVs being heavier and contributing to more brake dust. I’ve owned 3 teslas and never had to replace brake pads once. Regenerative braking is a big deal

@amuse @canncon And then pardoned his son when a US prosecutor was looking into him. Best dad award. Worst president award though

“Now does it hurt when I apply pressure here?”

I have always believed four things about USAID:

A) It does a lot of harm.
B) It has done a lot of good.
C) Both involved corruption.
D) It is an extension of CIA/State/DoD

This is a load bearing wall for which I have never had any love. But it is load-bearing. Or was.

I hope those trying to destroy USAID understand what good it did amongst all the evil it does. Its strategy was always a hybrid. By design and strategy.

“Screw the swamp!” Is gaining ground quickly. And this is most definitely at the center of the swamp.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

He is not an anti-vaxxer. You are slandering him. I am so disappointed in you. I have been a big supporter of yours for many years.

The Democratic Party has lost its soul, and I am sorry to say you are big part of the reason. I am saddened to see you fall so low.

Look around your neighborhood and the other poorest neighbors in the City. Focus on the least advantaged New Yorkers. They are the epicenter of the health crisis facing our children and citizens. Obesity, diabetes, and many other preventable chronic diseases can be stopped without medication. @RobertKennedyJr is uniquely positioned to lead this charge. Your efforts to stop his appointment and the continuation of current health policies will lead to the death of many Americans.

And yes, he is right to question vaccine safety and vaccine policies. The proliferation of vaccines, the timing of a child’s life when they are administered, the liability exemption for pharmaceutical companies, all need to be carefully analyzed and reassessed. And I am not referring to polio and measles vaccines nor is @RobertKennedyJr as he made clear today.

The Democratic senators in the hearing today embarrassed themselves and our country with their bloviating statements and their unwillingness to let RFK speak. They were more interested in hearing their own words than getting to the truth about Bobby Kennedy.

We need to wipe the slate clean with the Democratic Party. It has failed and continued to fail the American people. And I say this as a centrist American who historically supported Democrats.

How low can you go?

FREEDOM!!!!

@ErikVoorhees Lynn is the real hero in this! She worked tirelessly to free her son. Incredible work and now they both can rest and enjoy some time together at last
