Everyone in the UK 🇬🇧 right now.

We just passed React on GitHub stars. 🦞 Let that sink in. A personal AI assistant built by a lobster-obsessed Austrian and an army of crustacean enthusiasts just outstarred the library that powers half the internet. We shipped 90 changes today. They shipped a conference.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

This is brilliant.

The unboxing was chaotic‼️😂😂

I've written a version of this rant several times, but I didn't write this version. This prompt did: "Write a 6 paragraph essay in the style of DHH about why microservice architectures are bad for small teams." I followed up with 2x "Make it more polemic", but I didn't change a comma. The emdashes gave it away for some, but without those, I think even fewer would have been able to tell. And here's the kicker: It's actually pretty good? Take this point: "Instead of reasoning about code, teams reason about failure modes, retries, timeouts, message queues, and versioned payloads. The cognitive load compounds with every new service." Spot on, nicely framed! What does that mean? Is AI still slop when it makes good points? Or when it produces an essay that resonates with thousands of people in just a few hours? I've locked the tweet, because I do feel ambivalent about humans unwittingly interacting with AI writing, but why do we? It's not at all clear this isn't just a transitionary phase, like when it felt scary for most to enter this credit card on the early internet. Here's the the full interaction with the versions produced before prompting for "more polemic": chatgpt.com/share/6939aaf0-1…
