I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really). It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely. The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture. We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying. I worry.

@SpotifyCares I already joined the group which let me join the tester program? What's the expected next step here? I also installed the app again from the link.

@NotSoCoolDa Thanks for getting back to us. Take note, It's normal to see an access restriction error when first visiting the Google Groups. The "Join Group" button needs to be clicked first. Try that and get back to us please. We'll be waiting for your response.

Hey @SpotifyCares what happen here? I can't open my library, liked song list, etc. i already try to log out and log in, clear cache, but no luck.

@SpotifyCares Still didn't work. Cleared cache too. :(

@NotSoCoolDa Thanks for getting back to us and for confirming that. Can you try this link please? groups.google.com/forum#!forum/s…. Select to "Join Group". Let us know how it goes.

@SpotifyCares @CloudRacer07 Same problem.. Installed the app again from the link you shared and still doesn't work.

@CloudRacer07 No worries, can you try downloading the app from here: spotify.com/download/andro…? Let us know.

The moment something goes wrong.. out comes the trump card, offending crores of Hindus. 😂

In the past few days, I’ve been testing OpenAI o1 models, mostly o1-mini, for developing PhD or postdoc level projects. I can confidently claim that the o1 model is comparable to an outstanding PhD student in biomedical sciences! I’d rate it among the best PhDs I’ve have trained!

Gazab priorities mate. At least do a proper job of extending equal rights to Kashmir that is part of our country first.🤦‍♂️

New blog post. It's been a while. ✍️ open.substack.com/pub/3798/p/int…

Working from office now allows you to attend multiple meetings at once. Your meeting. The meeting the dev in front of you is taking. The meeting the dev behind you is taking. Everywhere all at once. 🙆

HR : Can you explain this gap in your resume? Engineer : Oh that was me at the silk board junction

Dammmmm

Shan Masood looks like a good leader. Just the whole setup around him is shambles 🤦‍♂️

The thing is Putin and Netanyahu have the same ethos. Just that the latter is part of a functioning democracy and that at least puts some checks and limits to lunacy being played out right now.
