A.I. has made college one big robot circle-jerk where students use A.I. to write papers and professors use A.I. to grade them.

Anthropic pays $750,000+ a year for engineers who know how to build LLMs from scratch.

Stanford just released the exact lecture that teaches it - 1 hour 44 minutes, free, straight from CS229.

Bookmark and watch it this weekend.

It'll teach you more about how ChatGPT & Claude actually work than most people at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

@claudeai can we please at Claude Code conversations to the web UI 🙏🏽 Pretty please...with sugar on top!??!

That is all.

This is something I have thought about for years and with the recent passage of the Lumbee Fairness Act, I figure now is the time!

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

OK ya'll, Episode #1 of the Lumbee Vocab podcast is live.

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

F#$K!!! Created a Chatgpt Business account for my organization and "migrated" my account over and now none my previous chats or project are there @OpenAI Fix this!!!

@smerconish let’s be sure to differentiate the financial AI bubble versus the technology AI bubble.

The stock market and AI stocks may crash, but the technology is not going anywhere.

Married couples need to budget their money together. You’re married, you’re not roommates. Money shouldn’t be a “me” thing, it should be a “we” thing.

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

@smerconish I joined the army right out of high school for four years then, after that, went back home and finished undergrad and graduate degrees. I always consider the military my college and I wish more young people would think about that.

[DHH @dhh]

At one point, I thought we were all doomed to suffer the woke theocracy for decades in tech, but then suddenly it was over. There are niche pockets here and there (hello nix!), but the hegemony has ended. What a relief! Now "no, we are not doing that" is again a viable way.

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

@jeremysmithco You guys look way too clean!

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

@smerconish I’m not sure that “intellectual combat” is good for our political discourse

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

@smerconish poll question for you. Do you still agree with the statement that “I support the president regardless of who it is because if the president does well, the country does well”

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

Appreciate @SenThomTillis making a principled vote. I’ll remember that in 2026.

[Mark Locklear (@[email protected]) @marklocklear]

@smerconish Ellie being quoted as saying “it’s not a crime to be a freak” made my morning.
