Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman. The text in the Tweet says: SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Überschrift und Teaser be Spiegel Online: Grüne Zoe Mayer • Sie hat womöglich die Wahl entschieden. Und wird jetzt angefeindet Die Grünenpolitikerin Zoe Mayer hat Manuel Hagels anzügliche Außerungen über Schülerinnen ausgegraben. Die CDU in Baden-Württemberg spricht von einer »Schmutzkampagne", Mayer bekommt Hasspost. Wie geht sie damit um?

Es ist hanebüchen: Feminismus hat in Deutschland so wenig Einfluss, dass gesetzlich so gut wie nix vorangeht.

Auf der anderen Seite wird er als übermächtig konstruiert, sodass eine einzelne Intervention vermeintlich Wahlen entscheiden könne.

Das ist schlicht schlechte Analyse.

I know, but somehow that feels like I’m making the mistake people make with LLMs 😄

Their time, dammit 😅

I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.

Diese ganz spezifische Mischung aus Unwissenheit, Respekt, Mitgefühl und Faszination, mit der Leute an entscheidender Stelle den räudigsten Faschos begegnen: das ist der Sound der Gegenwart

Ich ignoriere ihre Existenz seit 2018 🫡

Pete Hegseth sounds like he rubbed one out over the fact that a torpedo sunk a warship for the first time since WW2. This war is a wet dream for him.

Something about the job market for entry positions in coding being absolutely dead, while seniors are proudly saying "Yeah, I'm a cool guy, I delegate 99 percent of my work to a machine that is often incorrect" doesn't sit right with me

If you’re a conference, let me know if you’re interested!

I keep having great ideas for tech talks that contain little technical input and a lot of me shouting at people to make better software

I wanted to post that Friedrich Merz is a spineless worm but then I remembered that spineless worms are kinda cute and useful

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

“God in Reddit posts” sounds like a gritty contemporary novel I want to write.

Screenshot from the Argentinian comic “Mafalda”. Mafalda steps on a chair, says first “ahem” and then “From this humble little chair, I make an in impassioned call for world peace!”. In the last panel, walking off she says “anyway! … these days I think the Vatican, the UN and my little chair have the same powers or persuasion.”

I just remembered Mafalda exists and how I read every comic multiple times as a kid and teen and now I feel a little better

Why does a “Jump to recipe” button even have to exist
