Of course, while the planters were playing their courtly games and taking their Grand Tours of Europe and such, their genteel lives were being funded with cotton money. And that money was being generated (and therefore should have belonged to) the enslaved Black people who did everything from harvesting the planters’ crops to cooking their food to warming their beds, all against their will and with no benefit to themselves. Our era’s aristocrats are playing games of their own while ordinary working people earn them unprecedented amounts of money. They’re injecting human growth hormone to more closely resemble the muscle-bound gods they see themselves as; they’re buying themselves cameos in their favorite TV shows because it makes them seem fun and creative. Elon Musk in particular is notorious for even paying ringers to boost his video game scores by playing as him. Our particular “planters” don’t pose as Arthurian knights, but as MMA fighters with a sideline in content production. One wonders whether the pose was as ridiculous to workers 150 years ago as it is to us today.

claude code automates the experience of being a megacorp onboarding hundreds of junior engineers per day. this has, uh, some downsides, if you're not prepared to be operating in that mode

going to work these days

Don’t forget

In more ways than one

rumors of flattening next week in my org. a prototype team run by our vc proposed a 50 IC to 1EM structure...

Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.

the US: grok is this

It’s not even “human in the loop” they call it “human on the loop”

No this is an active desired outcome from leadership. they want pure agentic coding loop development. all the tooling has ai code testing and even reviews integrated

learned yesterday from my engineers that there are so many diffs being generated now its impossible to review them anymore. we now have to rely on ai code review…

Congrats!!

Not to be too cynical about the horrible clusterfuck that the nebulous concept of "the tech industry" continues to be but it feels like a bunch of guys that absolutely hate the idea that you need to write code and solve problems to get a big VC payout are keen to build a VC payout gatcha machine

i need to quit this job

really feeling fomo from not doing 7day rl

Generative AI doesn't know about decisions outside the immediate context box. You cannot interview it. It cannot answer for its behavior. Posting an image of a chatbox response explains nothing. It's as fraudulent a piece of information as an AI slop video that fakes a recording of a bombing. /🧵

Oh no! I’m so sorry

OpenAI and…the United States Military…are teaming up to notify YOU that your son has been KILLED IN ACTION. Click here to speak with your son via AI one last time

anyone else playing marathon

im too depressed today to deal with a low engagement transition timeline.

it really feels like they know the shot clock is running

god this shit is so depressing.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

it feels like all i do is tear pieces of my heart and give them away. not much left

i want someone to soothe my aches. i want someone to worry about my needs every once in a while.

im tired of everything. im tried of justifying my existence. im tired of fighting. im tired of grieving over daily destruction. im tired of the lack of reciprocity in my life. im tired.

do you know how ridiculous it sounds to tell a trans person to self-immolate their career out of principle?
