We fetched 871 articles published in the Guardian by Bryan Armen Graham over the last six years. It's clear that he is increasingly relying on AI. In two weeks in February he churned out nine articles classified by Pangram as fully AI-generated. Receipts below:
A spokesperson for the Guardian says this is false: "Bryan is an exemplary journalist, and this is the same style he’s used for 11 years writing for the Guardian, long before LLM’s existed. The allegation is preposterous."

The moment we are now in
Many people assuming I meant job loss anxiety but that's just one presentation. I'm seeing near-manic episodes triggered by watching software shift from scarce to abundant. Compulsive behaviors around agent usage. Dissociative awe at the temporal compression of change. It's not fear necessarily just the cognitive overload from living in an inflection point.

One not very hot take - The Claude C Compiler has the best internal architecture docs of any compiler I've ever seen. Far, far, better than any compiler I've ever written, lol :-)

Today we launch Workbench, a product I believe will change the way everyone works. Security teams need AI that helps them securely access their proprietary data and take action in real-time. Workbench gives them that superpower. Learn more at @tines_hq tines.com/workbench?utm_sour…

All of this is gold - but I think the second point is super underrated. Elaborate prioritization is classic PM midwittery and hurts shipping. Do what’s important; fast!
Everyone talks about the need to ship fast in startups, but how do you actually do it? Here are my 8 principles honed over 12 years of building software: wraptext.equals.com/how-to-s…

🙌 So proud of what the team @tines_io has achieved with Cases. A really powerful addition to Tines – it’s fast, flexible and designed for people! tines.com/product/cases

Launched today, @tines_io has a feature that allows you to create your own APIs through workflows. Combine different data sources together to create a brand new service for others to use. I created a video showcasing a simple IP enrichment API I made.

Here's the answer to the question what if we made Cloud Security as friendly as Figjam? Let me tell you, I'm obsessed with @tines_io.

Feeling proud of a big launch here today @tines_io: "Build apps with Tines". My favorite detail from the launch site is an embedded Tines-built-app that you can use live, and then flip over to see exactly how it’s built under the hood.

A beautiful post from my old Consider co-founder @benmcredmond, including analysis of how we failed. My feelings as I read through: pain; catharsis; pride; excitement! There are very few teams out there today with the clarity and purpose of @heyequals. wraptext.equals.app/the-full…

Jane is an cool person who invented a positive, creative new form of tech journalism: she scoops upcoming features in the big apps through reverse engineering. She is now being viciously targeted for the crime of… not including alt text in a screenshot she tweeted.
I am in a very bad state of mental state right now. But I can’t hold it anymore. I don’t feel good at all after what happened. I physically feel ill, I’ve been either cycling between panic attack and sleep deprivation since then. I want to make my content accessible too

I love this simple (but kind of profound!) advice from @blaringno on how to structure code in a Rails app: engineering.tines.com/blog/g…. tl;dr – you actually have a Ruby app. Use Rails for undifferentiated web and database stuff, but step up and take ownership of your domain code.

Sketching out scope for a new @tines_io marketing initiative with @steobrien. You know it's going to be good when one of the restrictions is "Don't break law".

It's amazing how technically hard the "what song is this tune in my head from?" problem has proven itself to be. Just tried Google's latest ML thing (blog.google/products/search/…) which totally failed. Luckily the (decades-old) engine at musipedia.org/ worked this time!

It's a well-designed, simple system: web.archive.org/web/20051220…. Pretty cool it can beat shiny tech many years later.
