if you're not building/producing stuff with AI that is going to survive (in your brain or elsewhere) beyond your current subscription term or token purchase, you really are setting yourself up for catastrophic failure.

no job search horror story for me will ever top how I spent literally over 60 hours in the interview process for neuralink, only to be rejected in the final interview with "we just think you're too rigorous of an engineer and not willing to just ship whatever is needed".

I have a proposal: x.com/getifyX/status/2046232…

Yup

prestige TV released on an annual basis is still possible. you don't have to wait 3 years between seasons of television. everyone go watch slow horses

i'm writing a compiler with assistance from LLM chat

the more important thing is, who can read code, not who can write it. anyone can write code. few can write code others can read.

The entire US economy right now is 7 companies sending a trillion fake dollars back and forth to each other

can't wait for "the nasty dumbocrats manipulated the weather to ruin this beautiful celebration of sport"

Chick-fil-A has 37 cars in line with a wait time of just 1 minute 54 seconds. The workers make it rain condiments on me and treat me like I’m their favorite cousin. Meanwhile, McDonald’s has 2 and a 1/2 cars in line with a wait time of eternity. The workers make it seem like their condiments are bricks of gold and treat me like I’m the stepdad they blame for their parents’ divorce.

working with (learning from) AI is like the sand in the sieve.

well I mean, the good news is, finally, now that Fable is out... finally the AGI is gonna start exponentially solving all our problems!

yesterday i signed up again for claude max $200 plan and had it change the whole visual metaphor of the productivity app i’ve been working on intermittently over the past year: instead of a traditional UI with tables, lists, tools, etc, i told Fable to use a desktop OS metaphor instead for displaying the various built-in mini apps (tasks, chat, notes, etc). all with a functioning dock and animated wallpaper and multiple window support etc. fable was able to solve the problem but really i’m beyond the point of being impressed by an LLM doing some upfront task. everything worked, it “made no mistakes”, all tests passed (it even fixed old tests), but i was like ok whatever thanks. i blew past my $200 limit in 2 hours. and now i’m sitting here like, ok, now what? do i ship this? hear me be a whiny bitch for a second: that it was too easy killed the whole part of the journey of making an app where you become a new person through the creation process, and you earn such pride in your work which in the past gave you the energy and courage to ship things. and i’m like, i can ship this. i can try to make a buck. the app is done. but i just don’t feel a bond with the work. now if you were a somewhat savvy operator, the business type that would happily sell refrigerator coolant if you sensed an opportunity, AI will be a godsend for you. but i don’t wanna sell refrigerator coolant. and now because everything is so easy, i hardly ever feel like i’m solving a real problem anymore. it’s like how deep of a problem am i really solving if someone can one shot my app in 2 hours? i will say that in those 2 hours yesterday, i really enjoyed being back near the code. there’s nothing funner than making shit. it’s just that the new way of doing things kills a lot of the creative and spiritual juices you used to get before, that many times lead to commercially beneficial outcomes. now, i just don’t know what’s worth building anymore.

prediction: trump intends to have artemis 4 astronauts put a plaque with his name on the moon in 2028 before his term is up. remember this tweet.

on the contrary, opus 4.7 is the first model that gets more than 50% of my coding related prompts correctly responded, so I make more steps forward than backward. opus 4.8 regressed below that btw.

is there a max number of accounts you can block on here? I have literally blocked thousands by now. I will scroll a thread and just block a hundred assholes at a time.
