"A user is on paragraph #2. Suddenly, the text jumps down 250 pixels and they lose their place. Why? An ad network finally resolved its bidding process and injected an iframe above the viewport.

Does anyone else’s kids demand you do all the voices when you’re reading them The Scaling Era?

seated next to an old man at a restaurant patio and not only does he know every single waiter by name but at least 5 people (of all ages!) on the street have stopped to greet and talk to him. what a beautiful thing to be so enmeshed in your community

Remarkable thing about Paul Ehrlich is not just how wrong he was but that we was totally unphased and unchastened by his wrongness, just a total epistemic disaster zone — a pattern of conduct that is unfortunately shared by many prominent people from different schools of thought.

just vibecoded this so i can keep track of my claude usage in closer to real time. the line graph is collapsible and the app it 85% opaque, which made it less distracting for me to use.

@zdch I’ve been wondering how much point there is in putting the effort into prior-updating if the situation in 6 months will be as different as the situation was 6 months ago

My project for 2026 is basically getting everybody to un-anchor their AI priors from like 2024. The ‘maximalism’/‘acceleration’/whatever conversations are totally uninteresting to me; all I care about is people accurately understanding what this stuff is capable of doing today.
Rutger Bregman@rcbregman

I'm increasingly annoyed by how many journalists, academics and large parts of the left get everything wrong about AI. So many smug dismissals from people who clearly don't use it (much) or don't know how. I have multiple wtf-moments every week now. For example: was about to get a $100 teleprompter app with voice-recognition yesterday. But had a last minute thought: 'hm, let's ask Claude Code'. For context: I've never written a line of code in my life. But I was able to give Claude two rambling prompts – 2 minutes later: it works better than the fancy $100 software with 'Patented VoiceTrack technology'. Most surreal technology experience I ever had. And it's all moving so much faster than I expected. Even the so-called "AI skeptics" in the industry now think we'll have AGI within a decade. 'AGI' is not a very clear or even coherent concept to me, but I do know that what's available now is just f*cking impressive - and it will only get better. It's totally unserious to keep dismissing the greatest technological revolution of our time. Sticking your fingers in your ears – 'it must be BS because it comes out of Silicon Valley and these Huns haven't read Marx or Adorno' – is not helping anyone.

The degree to which so many Christians have just revealed themselves to not have a sense of the sacredness of language and of the human person is really shocking to me. It does seem to break down denominationally- the lower church you are the more you see no problem

@suzania E.g. we’ll still need to administer the sacraments and understand why we do so in new situations. Stuff like how we think of writing as personal today—eh. Something new and different is going to happen. There are always good things in history as old things outlive their context.

@suzania There are pretty few cases where I really think there’s a metaphysical or moral issue per se. Mostly sacred functions like worship and execution. Most of the cases I think are just going to be resolved as subjectivity is reconfigured around novel forms of production like always.
