Dear @apple,
I don’t know what is going on with your damn keyboard, but I have NEVER in the 19 years of owning iPhones, had to backspace, retype, start over, correct words as much as I am now! And what happened to autocorrect!? Is that not a thing anymore? Please fix this!

@om_patel5 Where is all this software? The fact of the matter is all these AI are over height science fiction?

THIS SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER HASN'T WRITTEN A LINE OF CODE IN MONTHS
he works at a mid-sized startup with over 100 people
used to spend his days deep in the code, debugging everything himself from scratch
now he just makes the high level decisions on what to build and how to build it while claude, codex, and perplexity handle the actual coding
his words: "i just don't see the point anymore"
all those hours spent learning languages, frameworks, cloud infrastructure, and security. that time now goes into planning how systems connect, how users experience the product, and how everything fits together
he finishes massive features in 2 days now. and yeah he still learns something new. but the sense of accomplishment isn't the same as when he had to suffer through it
the dopamine hit of finally solving a bug after a week is gone. it's been replaced by the satisfaction of watching a whole system operate perfectly
he's not doom and gloom about it though. he says he actually has way more fun now than he did before
but here's where it gets real:
he doesn't enjoy learning new languages anymore. not because he can't, but because it wouldn't be worth his time. AI is too good at writing the code for him to justify spending weeks mastering a new language
and when it comes to hiring he's asking the hard question:
why would he hire someone who's good at writing code when claude is better than most dev teams at writing and maintaining code
the skill that matters now is being able to talk about which technology to use and why. system design thinking not the syntax
this is coming from someone who is actively getting promoted and praised at work
the shift is already here

Still think we need an enormous, I mean ridiculously insane battleship, biggest guns ever built by any navy ever, just to serve as our flagship and as a crazy flex because we are the premier naval power in world history.
What should we name it

@slimjimmy Where is all the custom software solutions? Why can't I have AI write a deep packet inspection app that will tell Samsung my TV is up to date so it does not constantly try to update itself. The truth is, you cannot believe someone who has billions or reasons to lie.

remember last year when a revolving door of CEOs were making bombastic claims about AI generated code every week?
microsoft, for instance, said "30% of their code was written by AI. by 2030, that'll be 99%"
but what have they shipped? how does this stack up?
- MS shipped a new windows run dialog that takes 100ms to load. that's right, a dialog with a text box and a button
- GitHub can't even ship a new CEO and keep the thing running for more than 5 minutes
- Amazon? crickets
- Google? crickets bar gemini and gemma
- OpenAI can't get GPT-5.5 to stop talking about goblins
- Anthropic is a walking disaster of poor quality, user hostility and unreliability
and yet how many times did we hear "you haven't seen what i've seen. you're not ready for what's coming"
so what IS coming? where is it? i cant see it
i only see bullshit, backtracking, bloat and bugs. at this point, i don't expect anything different than what we have now
and, after all his bluster, neither does sam altman

@LizzieMarbach I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown Woman to be fat.
Some men might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care, but they do

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games.
Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do.
It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼♀️

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells all Americans to trust the plan because rising gas prices will be temporary and will eventually come down in weeks or months.
He says the proof is that the stock market is looking great.
“The conflict will end.”

@OrevaZSN I pray to the AI gods that it will allow me to reverse engineer a stripped down version of word.

@CuriosityonX Space has no mass- but is compresses and bends it.

@mitchellvii Oh? I have family in the oil industry and I am curious about this claim. How much do these retailers pay wholesale for the gasoline? What is their gross and net margins? How do these retailers determine their price?
English
Clearly retailers are gouging at this point. Oil at roughly $100 a barrel does NOT justify these prices.

@LibertyLockPod He is practicing sounding like him, mimicking mannerisms- just so he can spout the tired talking points message.

I love how they talk as if it's still the 1960's and they can just replace whoever they want with Walter Cronkite. You don't get to dictate who we listen to anymore. Write a trillion think pieces saying otherwise. Doesn't make a difference. We choose now.
Die mad.

🚨 BREAKING: “Light has no mass… so why does gravity bend it?”
This is where physics gets weird.
In school, you’re told:
Gravity pulls on mass
But light?
Mass = 0
So why does it bend?
Because gravity isn’t a force.
It’s geometry.
Mass bends spacetime.
Light doesn’t resist it…
It follows it.
So when you see light curve around a planet or black hole…
You’re not watching gravity pull light.
You’re watching spacetime tell light where to go.
We weren’t wrong about gravity.
We were just thinking about it too simply.
Follow me I break down where physics stops being intuitive.

@XH_Lee23 They view the American as a consumer crop to farm. Notice how they never imagine giving American's a better product- but they will then outsource all they can to eliminate more American jobs.

Ford CEO Jim Farley: We should not let Chinese EVs into the US.
Jim himself drove a Chinese Xiaomi Su7 and has been to China 6-7 times a year.
He said, "It's the most humbling thing I've ever seen. They have far superior in-vehicle tech."
Can't win, so they ban.

@Andercot We already lost the AI race to China- because we didn't build out our nuclear infrastructure. Our country is optimized for graft, not progress.

Is there any way to get Claude to stop the flattery?
I've repeatedly made it clear, in several different ways, and it always steers back to sycophancy.
