New blog post: AI Allergy.
On my increasing disgust with the AI discourse, even though I still like the technical and philosophical. And how I wish I could be excited about AI again.

We shouldn't shy away from ethical questions like "what are we doing this for, and why? Who does this solution really serve and how?".
Ignoring these does ourselves an intellectual disservice, creating boring and unoriginal solutions, where at best we end up competing on axes where we have no moat.
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Some may not have noticed this was happening today, since google (๐คข) removed it as a holiday from calendar. More evidence that we still need holidays like this!
Oh, so suddenly stealing other people's work is not okay when somebody else does it to you? Forgive me for not feeling any kind of sympathy here
Cutest thing this month was going to see Sonic 3 when the audience cheered at the end of credits scene
Today: *changes a single integer to 0*

While I agree, I also think there's an angle of f2p where (theoretically, not necessarily in practice) the rich spend more to maintain the game, and the poor pay nothing, which feels like quite an egalitarian system to me when it's not pay-to-win.
