The Dangerous Illusion of AI Coding? - Jeremy Howard
The Dangerous Illusion of AI Coding? - Jeremy Howard YouTube video by Machine Learning Street Talk

This is one of the absolute best conversations on AI and software I've heard in a while. (I listen to a lot of stuff about AI.) @howard.fm is an expert & practitioner who cuts through the noise & false dichotomies, to talk about the joys & pitfalls of human machine collab

This reminds me of the old adage, "Never work for Jack Dorsey under any circumstances"

I can't believe nobody is reporting on this part. There's perhaps some truth to the AI part but this is the bigger truth

It's a crypto bro trying to pivot to AI. Not a healthy company that has successfully shifted to building with AI

Ugh, these people. Beyond being inhumane, it's grift. They are investors boosting a portfolio of potentially powerful, but yet unproven technologies. They are not neutral observers or experts.

@rollovereasy.org PSA more funding for transit, please! (coming soon to a ballot this Fall). Yes, stop consolidating can help, but doesn't matter if there's no service :)

Elderly nanny arrested in S.F. by immigration agents is ordered released The San Francisco Rapid Response Network said an "elderly nanny" was arrested by immigration agents "on her way to work" Friday.

ICE has no boundaries β€” today, wearing their masks in Diamond Heights, they grabbed an elderly nanny who’s here legally.

A judge has ordered her release.

This is why the work we do to ban these masks & authorize people to sue agents who violate their rights is so important.

The Bad Bunny Halftime Show As a card-carrying old, straight, bald, middle-class white boomer, I know nothing about Bad Bunny. But as I watched his Super Bowl halftime…

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

β€œEveryone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Wow, what an awesome @rollovereasy.org show with Muni Diaries! Since @sftru.bsky.social came up, I'll mention they are having a big party at the outlook of the Salesforce Transit Center tower on Dec 12. Monday is the last day to get tickets

I tried superhuman email for a couple of months. It was nice, but also rather unintuitive hotkeys and composing experience. The brand/design also have an element of tech hubris that didn't live up to the hype.

Suggestions now that they were sold to Grammarly?

I cannot believe the authors get as much press as the do-- they are everywhere right now. Few interviewer dissect the fallacy of their core arguments. Enjoyed your notes

Claude Code, Cursor and Copilot are very good at generating code that they're very bad at modifying.

GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that’s not the worst of it. A new release botched … and a breaking research new paper that spells trouble

Substack yes but worth a thorough read.
