We are on the verge of a civilizational change.
Yet outside of books, there is an intense philosophical void.
Little thread.

lol if only you knew... opportunistic creative parasites didn't wait for AI. And no I can't sue them. I just have to accept it. It sucks but it's life.

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

My life, like many builders, is currently dictated by Tibo's resets (which happen at 6AM in London).

I knew this weekend Tibo would likely offer resets, so I invested Saturday & Sunday extracting all the juice I could from this available intelligence until 5 am to tackle some of my hardest animation, rendering & physics ideas. And I got dream results.

However, this wrecks my work / life balance & my sleep schedule even more than usual. I really hope we get out of the last-minute reset culture one day, in favor of something more sustainable & predictable.

Day 21/ Wonder what happens the remaining seven days. But today is a reset.

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

We don't all live in the same timeline.

Many still run on obsolete mental models of reality, knowingly or unknowingly. I don't mind those who don't know.

But some willingly refuse to update their model, entertaining the delusion that as long as their minds remain on an old version, reality does too.

The worst are those who prevent others from updating their models. Usually, their status depend on it.

I live approximately 1 year in the future but I know some people who live 2-5 years in the future. I also know some who live 2-10 years in the past.

@McJunegrand @cmuratori I don't give a fuck about your fake cinema, considering that you're one of these rule34 furry porn degenerates sexualizing cartoon IPs for kids.

Stop pretending you care about IP, copyright and creators, while you're literally perverting their art.

New trend: No AI, [insert badass human feat]

While the world is using AI to build faster, larger & more ambitious, artisanal software engineering will become an anachronic nostalgic niche, similar to channels dedicated to crochet / swordsmithing / bushcraft / primitive building.

It's still enjoyable to be introduced to a technical topic & shown how it works from someone trustworthy & experienced.

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

@solidsnakecase @cmuratori The problem is not the tech, it's the perception shaped by dogma & activists. The exact same problem with technologies like GMOs & nuclear energy you know?

I love today's speed of development. A new language? Instant exploration by thousands of people. Goose is getting more promising every single day.

Goose leads the HttpArena benchmarks in speed and memory efficiency, thanks to @KaitKasak 's new Plod web framework: https://t.co/wM8KOWIPpC

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

👀 legendary Wouter dropping an entirely new high performance language out of nowhere

[Wouter van Oortmerssen @wvo]

Goose: my latest programming language. Safer, faster and less memory than Rust/C++ for algorithms where tightly packed, flat data structures matter.

It can represent more kinds of data structures as flat, pointer-free bytes than any language I know.

@CaraxesFirst To reward the humans providing you the goods & services you use. To do so, be useful & provide value to your fellow humans. It’s simple. It’s logical. And it’s healthy.

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

The most exhausting aspect of X: those like you misunderstanding tweets with the most random, worst possible angles due to poor reading comprehension.

I'm denouncing the inconsistent & incoherent double standards of activists & journalists here. It shows that they care more about who the messenger is than the truthfulness of the message.

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

The media attacked rare optimistic souls like me declaring the exact same reassuring message years in advance.

But now that it’s Miyamoto’s own words, notice how they don’t dare attacking.

The price to be early I guess.

[VGC @VGC_News]

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the acclaimed designer behind Super Mario and Zelda, has explained why he believes generative AI won’t make human creativity obsolete.

"There will always be a role left for us to play."

@darklightdays This is very true.

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

@ARIatTWIT So cool to see you in Brixton! 👊
I wish I could have said hi!

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

Now that human code is tested at industrial scale, it turns out to be incredibly sloppy & full of vulnerabilities, as expected.

This is way worse than the infamous 2000 bug.

Move your private data off the cloud. Clean up your online footprint. Assume nothing online is safe. It’s as if you had CIA spies with a large budget to dig everything about you.

[MTS @MTSlive]

SITUATION DETECTED: CloudFlare CEO Matthew Prince says he is aware of additional severe vulnerabilities in other pieces of critical software, and said “I think we’re going to have a couple years where every single week it’s going to feel like the sky is falling,” per Reuters.

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

@_Volodian_ @cmuratori This is countered by the fact that great programmers can now unleash swarms of agents reviewing, benchmarking, refactoring, and fixing vulnerabilities at a much higher standard than any average programmer can guarantee. Any professional repo has automatic review by agents now.

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

@_Volodian_ @cmuratori The quality of human software is disastrous

[Tim Soret @timsoret]

Your “accountable human” is an incredibly sloppy programmer who produced copious amount of flawed code full of vulnerabilities.

The low quality of human code has been fully exposed now that it is mass-tested at industrial scale & we discover critical flaws that have been there for decades in key libraries & frameworks like PHP. Wake up seriously.
