@RpsAgainstTrump Look at the big hero revelling in his stolen glory.
The US military must be so proud and inspired by NCA.

@OctopusEnergy Hi
Requested the switch on 15th but it's still not done. Any indication of when I should expect it?
Thanks 😊

@Sinbad2000 Hi Steven, the EV Saver version is an exclusive offer for our Octopus EV drivers — there’s more info about it here 👉 octopusev.com/ev-saver 🐙

@OctopusEnergy What's this EV saver tariff? I'm already on Intelligent Octopus Go, with an EV - can I switch to this one, if so, are the peak hour charges/standing charges the same, and if so, how do I do it? :D

Last quarter I announced a milestone.
30% of our code is now written by AI.
I called it "engineering velocity."
The board loved that phrase.
They didn't ask what the code does.
Neither did we.
It compiles. Usually.
That's the metric.
Someone asked about testing.
I said "AI-assisted quality assurance."
That means the AI writes the tests too.
For the code it wrote.
It finds no issues.
Very efficient.
This week we admitted Windows 11 core features are broken.
Audio doesn't work.
Explorer crashes.
Updates fail to install.
Users asked why.
I said "we're investigating."
Investigating means reading the code.
The code the AI wrote.
That no human understands.
Because understanding isn't scalable.
Our CTO says 95% of code will be AI-generated by 2030.
I believe him.
I have to.
We fired the people who would check.
They were "non-essential headcount."
Essential means writes code.
AI writes code.
Humans are overhead.
Overhead gets optimized.
We optimized 10,000 engineers last year.
This year the bugs arrived.
Unrelated, obviously.
The engineers we kept are debugging AI output.
They don't understand it either.
But they're "cross-functional."
Cross-functional means they do everything.
Everything means nothing well.
A user asked why their audio disappeared after an update.
I said "install updated drivers."
They asked why the update broke the drivers.
I said "report it via Feedback Hub."
They asked what happens to feedback.
I said "it helps us prioritize."
Prioritize means add to backlog.
Backlog means never.
But politely.
Someone on Hacker News called this "a privacy and consent disaster."
I called it "an evolving user experience."
Same thing. Different framing.
We released a fix.
The fix broke something else.
The something else was also written by AI.
The fix was also written by AI.
They're collaborating now.
I call it "autonomous iteration."
The autonomous iteration has created 47 new bugs.
Each bug spawns a fix.
Each fix spawns two bugs.
Exponential growth.
Just like our stock price.
Unrelated, obviously.
Satya told Mark we're at 30%.
Mark said he didn't know Meta's number.
Sundar said Google is also at 30%.
None of us know what the code does.
But we know the percentage.
Percentage is a metric.
Metrics go in earnings calls.
Earnings calls move stock prices.
Stock prices determine bonuses.
Bonuses determine success.
Success means the bugs don't matter.
Users asked when Windows will work again.
I said "we're committed to quality."
Quality means it ships.
Ships means it's your problem now.
Thank you for being part of the Microsoft family.
Family means you can't leave.
We're in your enterprise agreement.
For three more years.
The circle of innovation.

Our CFO asked me to "audit" our software subscriptions last week.
He sent me a spreadsheet with 200 rows. Slack, Zoom, Jira, Notion, Trello, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
He wanted me to survey the team to see which tools were essential.
I told him: "Surveys are for people who care about feelings. I care about OpEx."
I deleted the spreadsheet.
Instead, I logged into the corporate Amex portal and reported the card as lost.
Every single auto-renewal in the company failed instantly.
I call this "The Scream Test."
It’s simple Darwinian procurement.
If a tool goes down and nobody runs to my desk screaming within 4 hours? We didn't need it.
The Marketing team was at my door in 10 minutes begging for Adobe. We renewed it. The Sales team was crying about the CRM in 20 minutes. We renewed it.
But here’s the interesting part.
The HR department’s "Employee Wellness & Engagement Portal" ($12,000/year) has been down for six days.
Not a single person has noticed.
I didn't just save money. I quantified the exact value of our corporate culture.
It is zero.
Stop auditing. Start unplugging. If it’s important, they’ll scream. If they don't scream, it’s just noise.

This is a dreadful thing to say about a man who just got murdered by his troubled son.
Delete it, Mr President @realDonaldTrump .

@runna why does web.runna.com just get stuck on my account page - can't I do anything else on the website?

@VideoCardz So AI is gonna ruin consumer market
For sake of what? For sake of generating brainrot videos and images? For specialist employee shortages? For students who cheat every exam and asking do work for them instead of learning?
Who fuckin asked for future like this
