It's crazy that humans responded to an accumulating mass of bullshit work by trying to automate it with expensive language machines rather than stop doing it.

[interlinear annotation separator @tilgovi]

Collaborating with other humans is a subversive act that robs the generative vendors of token use and thereby sabotages economic growth. De-duplication is anti-imperial. Don't reuse, regenerate. Capital commands you.

I'm reaching the limit on my wait-and-see here. I contemplate daily the possibility of never touching it again and openly advocating against its use.

I'm disturbed by the ubiquitous use of Claude for coding, but I am not shocked. The willingness with which most people will happily allow themselves to be yoked to a proprietary toolchain has long frightened me.

A picture is worth a thousand words if you can't write well. If you can write well, sometimes it might only be a few dozen words.

@jon_stokes @Meaningness Same story, different coworker. My whole career has been defending against context drift.

[interlinear annotation separator @tilgovi]

@MattBruenig The part of this that hurts is that much of that magic of free software was a philosophical stance that the toolchains must be free, and now I see so many taking for granted that software development should involve a SaaS subscription to an LLM provider.

Our government is also suppressing dissent and killing protestors. When can we get some regime change at home?

This is the way! Participatory politics. Let's go!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I appointed Tascha Van Auken as commissioner to the Mayor's Office of Mass Engagement. OME will organize participation across this city, proactively reach people who've been shut out, and make sure public feedback shapes how we design policies, deliver services, and make decisions. New Yorkers deserve a government that actually listens and responds to what you need.

Every yule log I've seen this season is AI and they're garbage. I didn't know you could fuck up a video of a burning log.

@progrium I wanted a PouchDB server in Chrome so I could serve and modify Couch Apps with nothing but a browser. Same dream, different era.

Jeff is just making awesome stuff, always. Give a look!

[Jeff Lindsay @progrium]

its not just a fully working linux environment entirely in-browser, its also the full cross compiling go toolchain. never done before!

[interlinear annotation separator @tilgovi]

@progrium Fun to see how far we've come. EMScripten was only about 2 years old, WASM didn't exist yet, and Go was only about 3 years old.

Imagine if, instead of Spotify, y'all had subscriptions to Warner Max, Sony Plus, and Universal Now.

Yeah, it's stupid.

We let video get away with stuff we'd never tolerate with audio.

And really, neither should be subscriptions.

Buy things. Pay artists. No more renting.

I hope Google is collecting metrics on my growing rage at the number of times and places I have to refuse help from Gemini or dismiss a prompt about using Gemini.

[interlinear annotation separator @tilgovi]

@SenatorShaheen @meiselasb @MeidasTouch And so much for that. Thanks for nothing.

"Vibe coding" describes an attitude, not a toolkit.

We have but one HEAD in life.

@JakeHartnell I feel like my only Twitter use in the past few years is me saying something good about Wave and you agreeing. 😂😂

[interlinear annotation separator @tilgovi]

Imagine if Google had promoted Wave with a fraction of the weight they've put behind Gemini. I can't sneeze without getting a suggestion that AI summarize it, but they didn't even try to push Gmail users to use Wave.
