@dhh I've been using telegram to control multiple session that are running in zellij when I'm away from a computer. Works well, but could be better.

@ClayCollins Spot on

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@ClayCollins I’d love to check it out

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@ThePrimeagen I build web applications for a living. Ai is really good at doing that. I tried building a video game with my daughters using ai. Ai is not very good at that yet.

@zerocap4l @paulg We didn’t? 🤔

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@simonw I just use Claude Code via telegram, does everything I need it to

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@AiBattle_ Does it use less of your limit than Opus when you’re on a subscription?

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@scaling01 Works well for me 🤷‍♂️

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@DylanEMHolland @awesomekling Well then he should know what he’s talking about.

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

You're right to push back.

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@KenTheRogers Where there’s smoke…

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

If you are asking “Why push back against anti-datacenter efforts?” I consider it a tragedy that anti-nuclear efforts largely strangled nuclear power in the US based on vibes, and I don’t want to see that happen to AI. Public opinion matters, and it shouldn’t be ceded unchallenged.

If you are asking “Why should I support AI efforts at all?” I believe we are in the midst of a transition more vibrant than the industrial revolution. Opinions formed a couple of years ago about the uselessness of AI are no longer valid. Millions of people and organizations are getting great returns from using it, and the demand for data centers is the market responding to the value signal. That is how progress is made!

So well put

[François Chollet @fchollet]

Programming is not about code, just like music is not about notation. It is the art & science of managing complexity through layers of abstraction. AI is simply a part of it.

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@ClayCollins I didn't notice that much of a difference but I didn't get that much use out of it before it was removed. What kind of projects have you been working on?

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

Anti-data center yard signs are popping up in my area. I am entertaining the idea of paying for a billboard with something like “Data centers are awesome, Texas should lead!”

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@kai_fell Did you go all the way down this rabbit hole? It’s genuinely hilarious.

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

I genuinely don't know if I could ever go back to pre-agent-assisted development.

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@paulg I read through the replies and none of them jumped out at me as being obviously written by ai.

[Mark Nutter @marknutter]

@xwanyex I fixed my dryer and my fridge with ai’s help. That would’ve been a total shit show otherwise, yet it only ended up being half a shit show.
