Left the house with my AirPods but forgot the case. How weird is it to ask a coworker to use their case to charge?

The irony of the SaaSpocalypse is that we are all relying on seat-based pricing to get cheap access to frontier models. SaaS died as it lived—one seat at a time.

Bubbles are the most universal of love languages.

Anthropic has managed unprecedented velocity for product delivery. And in doing so, they have proved that billing management remains an unsolved problem.

As engineers, we need to come to terms with the fact that AI is no longer here to assist us. Our job now is to assist the AI. It is our execution capacity.

@meksikanpijja Nobody wants this.

i do not want this

Noem one saw it coming.

Games that only run on Windows is a problem of another time that still invades the present.

What a cool time to be alive.

Claude code allows me to build so many to do apps in parallel. I shiver with……………….. anticipation.

I desperately need a chatbot in slack to fix my typos.

Google wins by being inevitable. Not by being first.

@paulg The aggregate of being trained on everyone is that it doesn’t really sound like anyone.

I don't mean this entirely as a joke. If there is a population of people who write like ChatGPT, I would have avoided them pretty strenuously.

Presumably ChatGPT is trained on corpora of things written by humans, and yet it doesn't sound like any human I know. Is there a population somewhere of people who write in chirpy bulleted lists that I've somehow managed to avoid?

That moment when you pick up a call, and there's a long pause because the BDR is desperately trying to figure out who the parallel dialer has connected them to.

What the AI Debate Gets Wrong About Progress AI transforms the future. The hard part is who absorbs the cost until then. blog.cgardens.dev/p/what-the-ai-…

COVID spared the children. Soda Pop did not.

We used to scale engineering teams based on execution capacity. With AI, we’ll scale them based on cognitive load. blog.cgardens.dev/p/moving-beyon…

@bpodgursky If AGI is already lurking and we don’t know it, then it’s playing its hand perfectly.

actually given the lag in robotics, AI crushing birthrates is evidence that AI is *not* currently acting in self-interest, because there's a good chance it collapses the human capital pool it relies on to build in the physical world before it achieves self-sufficient takeoff

We assume AGI doesn’t exist yet. The dark forest suggests silence, not absence.
