They say Ai will TAKE our JOBS, & CHANGE our LIVESโฆ
& it will for many of us.
Weโll panic in private & lose sleep.
Weโll reassess our lives & live leaner.
Weโll venture into side quests, passion projects & art for artโs sake.
Weโll return to what MATTERS most.
Early morning walk to beat the heat. Foraged along the way. Discovered licorice smelling mint. Found & ate red currants, blackberries, & blueberries. Picked 2/3 of a pound of chive seeds. Not a bad harvest.
U.S. govโt: Ship these chips to China for Ai/DeepSeek.
Anthropic: Fable 5 has guardrails. Hereโs the vulnerabilities. We have trusted U.S. partners testing it.
U.S. govโt: Shut down Fable 5! You canโt guarantee foreign nationals wonโt use it. Give U.S. 50% equity in Anthropic!

If your business is leveraging #ai to maintain biz productivity, cull jobs, & increase biz profitability, then you have joined the corporate race to mediocrity & business as usual (BAU). The ai focus should be to maximize current employee productivity, hire more, & grow more. ๐ฐ
Iโm proud of @freelandspirits, one of the nation's few women-founded distilleries, officially cuts the ribbon on their new tasting room & lounge at Portland International Airport @flypdx today, also marking the completion of PDXโs highly anticipated North Concession Hall. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ซ
How about that overwhelming demand for ai compute in a time of 5-10X API token costs compared to that of last month, all during the time of a global chip & token shortage? ๐ค Good times. Keep calm & compute on. ๐๐ป
At least a dozen times a day, this is what it feels like to build websites with new ai tech. Too fast, too fragile, too frustrating. ๐๏ธ๐ฅ Nevertheless, he persisted & persevered. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ป๐ฒ
Ai wonโt manually shift your 6 speed manual for you, or pour that perfect pint when you finally arrive home on Friday after a long week. ๐๐บ Donโt drink & drive, you may spill your beerโฆand stuff.
Having navigated the complex process of hiring physicians on H-1B visas, to say nothing of the immense financial burden of American graduate education. I keep a special bottle of Champagne ๐ฅ๐พ in my fridge, reserved for the day we finally celebrate the passing of ignorance. ๐๐งก
I want to see Stanley Tucci don a fat suit & play Padre Guilherme (The @Pontifex's DJ) in a @netflix biopic. โBuona sera, you bassheads & massheads!โ ๐ฅ๐๐ฎ๐นโ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๐๐ถ๐ต๐ถ If the Tucci isnโt available, maybe @andrewzimmern can take the role.
Anyone set up #ClaudePeers yet?
Claude-peers-mcpโ (by Louis Alva), uses Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) & an internal development feature of Claude Code to allow independent terminal sessions to broadcast messages directly to each other via a local SQLite broker. ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Sometimes getting AI to create what you want to create is just like starting with a sheet of steel, & a hammer, & fashioning that sheet of steel into a bowl, but your mold for the bowl is your effin head. ๐ฅฃ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐จ
