او،
ضحاک زمان،
همو که گل‌های وطن را پر پر می‌کرد،
او که جسم و جان و مغز جوانانمان را می‌بلعید؛
او،
آری او،
همان اشغال‌گر اعظم ...
تمام شد!
و حالا ما می‌رقصیم
در این لحظه‌ی آغازین انتقام،
که لحظه‌ی پایانش بود.

@benedictk__ Add me pls 🙏

[Reza Kakooee @rezakakooee]

ولی این بار، برخلاف چیزی که شما فکر می‌کنین، اتفاقاً می‌شه؛ بعدش می‌ره توی همون کتاب‌های تاریخ و آمارهایی که امروز با استناد بهش می‌گین نمی‌شه.

@Madeinirans درود برشما و درود بر جاوید نام شما #سینا_اشگبوسی (جاوید نام ایران)

من این عکس‌ها رو از گردهمایی مونیخ گرفتم.

این جاویدنامان هرگز فراموش نخواهند شد ❤️

[Reza Kakooee @rezakakooee]

@Milad_Fallahi18 خواهش می‌کنم.
آی دی اینستا مث توئیترم: rezakakooee

عکس‌های زیادی اون روز گرفتم از جاویدنام‌های مختلف:

[Reza Kakooee @rezakakooee]

در گردهمایی مونیخ چند صد عکس گرفتم؛ تقریباً همه با یک تم مشترک: در دست داشتن عکسِ جاویدنامان یا عزیزانی که در بند هستند، مشابه همین چند عکسی که اینجا می‌بینید.

سایر عکس‌ها را می‌توانید در لینک دراپ‌باکس زیر ببینید:

https://t.co/OV0dpktcAf

پیش از عکس‌گرفتن، از همهٔ افرادی که چهره‌شان در تصاویر مشخص است اجازه گرفتم.

می‌توانید آزادانه از این عکس‌ها استفاده کنید. اگر ممکن بود لطفاً مرا تگ کنید: @RezaKakooee
اگر هم یادتان رفت، مهم نیست.

امیدوارم این عکس‌ها به دست خانواده‌ی جاویدنامان برسد.

Dear @TrustlessState,
Would you be able to look into this please?

[Reza Kakooee @rezakakooee]

Dear @elonmusk, @durov, and @mosseri,

The Islamic Regime may turn the internet back on soon. But over the past weeks, many people were killed, and we still don’t know exactly how many. Many of them likely had X / Telegram / Instagram accounts that may never be used again.

Could you identify accounts that were active before the blackout and then remain inactive after internet access returns; and publish some statistics?

This can’t be done immediately: even after Internet is restored, many people won’t log in right away. But would be great if you could consider this as a method to help uncover part of the truth about the scale of killings and injuries.

Many thanks,
Reza

When the internet becomes available in Iran again, we will see thousands - possibly millions - of photos, videos, and personal stories documenting one of the most extreme brutalities a regime has committed against its own people.

If u see this, be our voice

آن ضحاک که در تاریخ خواندیم هر روز دو جوان را می‌کشت و اما ضحاکیان امروز در دو روز 12 هزار نفر را کشتند!

ننگ ابدی بر شما باد

خون‌های بر زمین ریخته شده فراموش نخواهند شد
#DigitalBlackoutIran

[Reza Kakooee @rezakakooee]

امشب
قلبم
کاسه‌ی خون است ُ
در سرم
گرگی تبر به دست
کمین کرده

چشمم
سیل خروشان است ُ
در رگم
گرمای هسته‌ی خورشیدی
تبلور کرده

دستم
از نوشتن شرح بلا
پینه بسته و
پایم
سرود خاموشی
به لبش رسیده

و تو
ازین سکوت شکسته بترس
که هر هجایش
غرش پایان‌دهنده‌ی هزار ضحاک است

Prediction for 2026:

In 2026, we’ll see many AI inventions that ultimately turn out to have been invented by Schmidhuber in the 90s.

Some people today are discouraging others from learning programming on the grounds AI will automate it. This advice will be seen as some of the worst career advice ever given. I disagree with the Turing Award and Nobel prize winner who wrote, “It is far more likely that the programming occupation will become extinct [...] than that it will become all-powerful. More and more, computers will program themselves.”​ Statements discouraging people from learning to code are harmful!

In the 1960s, when programming moved from punchcards (where a programmer had to laboriously make holes in physical cards to write code character by character) to keyboards with terminals, programming became easier. And that made it a better time than before to begin programming. Yet it was in this era that Nobel laureate Herb Simon wrote the words quoted in the first paragraph. Today’s arguments not to learn to code continue to echo his comment.

As coding becomes easier, more people should code, not fewer!

Over the past few decades, as programming has moved from assembly language to higher-level languages like C, from desktop to cloud, from raw text editors to IDEs to AI assisted coding where sometimes one barely even looks at the generated code (which some coders recently started to call vibe coding), it is getting easier with each step.

I wrote previously that I see tech-savvy people coordinating AI tools to move toward being 10x professionals — individuals who have 10 times the impact of the average person in their field. I am increasingly convinced that the best way for many people to accomplish this is not to be just consumers of AI applications, but to learn enough coding to use AI-assisted coding tools effectively.

One question I’m asked most often is what someone should do who is worried about job displacement by AI. My answer is: Learn about AI and take control of it, because one of the most important skills in the future will be the ability to tell a computer exactly what you want, so it can do that for you. Coding (or getting AI to code for you) is a great way to do that.

When I was working on the course Generative AI for Everyone and needed to generate AI artwork for the background images, I worked with a collaborator who had studied art history and knew the language of art. He prompted Midjourney with terminology based on the historical style, palette, artist inspiration and so on — using the language of art — to get the result he wanted. I didn’t know this language, and my paltry attempts at prompting could not deliver as effective a result.

Similarly, scientists, analysts, marketers, recruiters, and people of a wide range of professions who understand the language of software through their knowledge of coding can tell an LLM or an AI-enabled IDE what they want much more precisely, and get much better results. As these tools are continuing to make coding easier, this is the best time yet to learn to code, to learn the language of software, and learn to make computers do exactly what you want them to do.
