βIn many ways itβs a time capsule. And it will be here for another 100 years.β

WiseTech Global manages customs clearance across 193 countries for 47 of the top 50 global logistics providers. Replacing it with AI-generated code means recreating thousands of regulatory integrations. Good luck.

Wrote some thoughts about the current AI news cycle.

the Human Connection Moat For thirty years, the "build versus buy" debate was the persistent game of tetherball in the CTOβs office. It was a rational, if often heated, accounting exercise. On one side: the allure of ultimate controlβsoftware tailored perfectly to your uniqueβ¦

Y'all, the way I hollered.
This is totally my every evening.

First post on Bluesky what Iβve considered framing as art. Well played @astrokatie.com
GM: Charisma check.
Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]
GM: thatβs a d6 how did you
Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? π
Libraries, easy. They buy the books and if they're checked out a lot, they sometimes buy extra/replacement copies. Plus they are a public good that should be supported.
(Used bookstores are cool too! Local economy ftw!)
Another vector by which women will be undervalued :/
That said I do agree that the accountability model is broken and needs to be updated for computer autonomy.
But the same is true for wealthy humans.
A secondary benefit is that when a robot DOES make an error, that code can be updated and ALL robots improve. This is not the case for humans. In fact, even after a single human makes a driving mistake there is not guarantee that one person will learn to avoid the same mistake again.
I get the 100% predictability is not obtainable. But what percentage IS possible and what is needed for robots to improve safety by 20%?
Data shows that humans are terrible drivers (just look at the number of deaths due to motor vehicles annually), early indications are that robots are safer.
Honest question, does this change if all the cars are autonomous? If driving WAS about rule following, wouldnβt robots be better?
The best life hack I ever gave myself was making the password for my parentsβ WiFi βeasytorememberβ

as far as i can tell βbio hackingβ is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

One thing I am super happy about is that we will be running our D&I program as usual. Inclusion makes communities smarter, stronger, kinder, and more resilient. A big big shout to Oracle then for sponsoring this critical aspect of the event. Thanks @mjasay.bsky.social and team!

Not meaning to dismiss your question, but interested to know how you view this changing things and for what audience.
its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further
So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
Sounds like a fun OSS project to contribute to.
