Good morning you beautiful people. Let’s start the day happy and go from there. Here’s a shot of the iconic Tower Bridge, but I took it with my camera almost touching the bed of the river Thames at low tide. I like to photograph the familiar but from a different angle. Cheers 🍻

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.

A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.

Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.

The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.

The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.

Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.

The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.

The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Morning in Kyiv.
Drone attack again.

I had to get to the right bank. Metro trains still don’t cross the Dnipro during alerts.

But Ukrainians always find a way.

Drivers pick people up near the metro and, for a small fee, take them across the river to the nearest station.

I went this way today.

It is genuinely hilarious how quickly Mavericks fans have developed collective amnesia. You guys are plotting this grand "Project 2028" reunion like Luka is a study-abroad student coming home to his college sweetheart.

Did you completely block out the trauma of the 2025 trade, or are you just choosing to ignore how incredibly toxic the divorce actually was? Let me slap you with some reality, because there is a zero percent chance Luka is ever wearing a Dallas jersey again.

You guys are dreaming of a reunion with a player your front office absolutely dragged on his way out the door. The Mavericks didn't just trade him; they practically chased him out of town because they didn't want to pay him the $345 million supermax he had earned. They shipped a generational, 25-year-old superstar to Los Angeles for an aging, injury-prone Anthony Davis under the delusion of "improving the defense".

Why on earth would Luka return to play for an ownership group that publicly humiliated him? The ink wasn't even dry on the Lakers trade before Mavs owner Patrick Dumont was running to the media to completely trash Luka's work ethic.

Let’s review the tape. Dumont literally compared Luka unfavorably to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, saying Luka didn't have the "singular focus to win" and boldly stating, "If you don't have that, you shouldn't be part of the Dallas Mavericks".

He didn't stop there. Dumont delivered that legendary, shady quote:
"If you want to take a vacation, don't do it with us".

The organization leaked stories complaining about his behavior, his diet, and the fact that he was reportedly pushing 270 pounds. They painted him as a lazy, out-of-shape liability. You think a guy with Luka's ego is going to forgive and forget that level of front-office slander?

And let's not forget how the media treated him on the way out. National talking heads like Stephen A. Smith and Charles Barkley dogpiled on his conditioning, and the local media wasn't much better. He was the scapegoat for every Dallas shortcoming.

The funniest part? Karma hit Dallas immediately.

Your owner, Patrick Dumont, was literally caught sitting courtside apologizing to a teenager who was wearing a Luka Lakers jersey because the team was so unwatchable.

So, let's connect the dots. You want a player to come back to a franchise that:

1. Refused to pay him his supermax.
2. Called him fat and lazy in the press.
3. Traded him while he was in his absolute prime.

Meanwhile, Luka is out here dropping €250K on a private jet to fly the almost entire Lakers roster to Slovenia for a team-bonding trip. He is building an empire in Los Angeles, surrounded by a franchise that actually appreciates him.

Mavs fans, you have a nice young core with Cooper Flagg now. Focus on that. Clinging to "Project 2028" is just embarrassing ex-girlfriend behavior. He’s gone, he’s not coming back, and deep down, you know exactly why.

In the 1640's the Dutch inhabitants of New Amsterdam built a 12 foot wall to keep the
"bad people" out. In 1664 the British ignored the wall and took New Amsterdam by sea. It's now called New York. They took down the wall and built a street, which is now called Wall Street.
