@Steve_Yegge Maybe tell your buddy to do some actual work and to stop spreading absolute nonsense. This post is completely false and just pure clickbait.

I was chatting with my buddy at Google, who's been a tech director there for about 20 years, about their AI adoption. Craziest convo I've had all year. The TL;DR is that Google engineering appears to have the same AI adoption footprint as John Deere, the tractor company. Most of the industry has the same internal adoption curve: 20% agentic power users, 20% outright refusers, 60% still using Cursor or equivalent chat tool. It turns out Google has this curve too. But why is Google so... average? How is it that a handful of companies are taking off like a spaceship, and the rest, including Google, are mired in inaction? My buddy's observation was key here: There has been an industry-wide hiring freeze for 18+ months, during which time nobody has been moving jobs. So there are no clued-in people coming in from the outside to tell Google how far behind they are, how utterly mediocre they have become as an eng org. He says the problem is that they can't use Claude Code because it's the enemy, and Gemini has never been good enough to capture people's workflows like Claude has, so basically agentic coding just never really took off inside Google. They're all just plodding along, completely oblivious to what's happening out there right now. Not only is Google not able to do anything about it, they don't seem to be aware of the problem at all. I'm having major flashbacks to fifty years ago as a kid at the La Brea Tar Pits, asking, "why can't they just climb out?" My Google friend and I had this conversation over a month ago. I didn't share it because I wanted to look around a bit, and see if it's really as bad as all that. I've been talking to people from dozens of companies since then. And yeah. It's as bad as all that. Google is about average. Some companies at the bottom have near-zero AI adoption and can't even get budget for AI. They may have moats and high walls, but the horde is coming for them all the same. And then there are a few companies I've met recently who are *amazingly* leaned in to AI adoption. One category-leader company just cancelled IntelliJ for a thousand engineers. That's an incredibly bold move, one of many they're making towards agentic adoption. In my opinion, that company is setting themselves up for a _huge_ W. As for the rest, well, it's the Great Siloing. Everyone's flying blind. With nobody moving companies, no company knows where they stand on the AI adoption curve. Nobody knows how they're doing compared to everyone else. Half of them just check a box: "We enabled {Copilot/Cursor} for everyone!" Cue smug celebrations. They think this is like getting SOC2 compliance, just a thing they turn on and now it's "solved." And they don't realize that they've done effectively nothing at all. All because of a hiring freeze.

@TimHannan 💯

Donald Trump is the same lying piece of shit scumbag he’s always been. He hasn’t changed. You’re just slow on the uptake.

Putin keeps losing his allies around world— Assad in Syria, Maduro in Venezuela, Khamenei in Iran, and now Orban in Hungary. What Putin friend is next to fall?

@GunterFehlinger JD Prance

Thank you JD Vance! 🇭🇺🇪🇺 please visit next Putin.

Anyone who did this at Apple should be arrested

@Pontifex Pope Leo is the only American leader who isn't afraid to stand up to the demonic behavior of Donald Trump and his slithering minions.

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace

@Moderate_genx @Pontifex

I am honestly thinking of leaving the Catholic church bc of what you say about Iran and open borders. This isnt abt a display of power, this is abt stopping a terrorist regime from getting nuclear weapons. Also, you say all you say behind a wall of the vatican! Why dont you open the vatican up, tear down your own walls and lets see how long yall last with these muslims invading n destroying everything they touch. SHAME ON YOU! I hope we free the people of Iran, for humanity sake. You are on the wrong side of history. I can’t believe im saying this to our pope.

@Rep_Stansbury I feel like it's too easy to put this down to Trump having some mental illness, the truth is he's just a horrible human being who doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.

This man is not well.

@aaronjcrook01 @covie_93

Is that jeffrey epstein he's healing???

@MeidasTouch They got bored of peace.

Anyone hear from the Board of Peace lately?

@covie_93 All the shit that he builds should be torn down the day he loses the presidency.

Who asked for this???

@andres_vidoza Fedora

Ubuntu or Fedora?

Is this her real face or is this AI?

@mark_slapinski Market manipulation.

I'm genuinely confused What the fuck was the point of the Iran war?

@bcherny @steipete Rather than spending time and energy thinking up ways to block people from doing productive things, why not just focus on making the product better?

@steipete This is not intentional, likely an overactive abuse classifier. Looking, and working on clarifying the policy going forward.

Anthropic now blocks first-party harness use too 👀 claude -p --append-system-prompt 'A personal assistant running inside OpenClaw.' 'is clawd here?' → 400 Third-party apps now draw from your extra usage, not your plan limits. So yeah: bring your own coin 🪙🦞

This country is so goddamn fucking stupid.

@bcherny What about reducing the cost for API usage?

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

- Pull out of NATO. - Close all bases and remove all military personal from the UK, Germany, Spain, and France. - Never protect these countries again. - Stop all trade with these countries. ZERO. - Refuse to share any military technologies and don't allow to them to buy any military equipment. Ever. - Don't share any intelligence with them. NONE. - Tell them they have to provide 100% of weapons and money to Ukraine. - Cut them off completely.

@csg1006 @catturd2

The only problem with your recommendations, and I don’t disagree, but if the US walks away from NATO, then that gives a green light to the Islamic/Muslim population to fully take over Germany, France, UK, and that would allow these Islamic/Muslim peoples to obtain NUCLEAR weapons. This is concerning.😕@RapidResponse47 @SecRubio @StephenM @WhiteHouse 🙏🏻🇺🇸
