Here's an actual Monet painting of someone looking at two paintings trying to determine which one was generated by a human and which by an automaton.

if you get mad at the liberal media for lying but then quote tweet this dumbass headline while pretending they're not dishonestly omitting the "only on extreme fire danger red flag warning days" context for outrage clicks, you're destroying your own credibility fyi

The essential engineering cheatsheet of 2026:
agent → while loop
subagent → nested while loop
agent harness → the rest of the code
cloud agent → all the above, on EC2

@jasonc_nc @mnolangray @lambertmeltonnc I guarantee you IZ is being ushered in with evidence-based outcomes in mind
Local politicians are simply lying about the outcomes they desire
English
@mnolangray @lambertmeltonnc “Let’s focus on evidence-based outcomes except for this one specific thing”
English
I'm not aware of a single instance where IZ mandates ushered in broad improvements in housing affordability, but I'm aware of loads of instances in which they crushed housing production. Blue cities/states need to take the evidence seriously and scrap these failed programs.

@tekbog I love how they slapped a maximally irrelevant warning about smoking during pregnancy onto the ad with a cool dude driving a car. Peak malicious compliance

nah they had to ban this

Every traffic death now before mass AV deployment seems like a Covid death in late 2020 after we had vaccines but before everyone had them

@OpenAIDevs @Dimillian I hope this is your way of hinting that Cloud is going to improve soon so this isn’t necessary….

@devahaz We tell you the stories the mainstream media won’t!
Pinned tweet: Data centers BAD!

Terrible people love bringing this up as if they are paying for it. A private nonprofit decides to give free tickets to poor people, students, etc and this makes you angry why exactly? It hurts you how?

The Monterey Bay Aquarium charges $295 for a family membership or $125 for a single adult. With an EBT card, entry is free — and up to four guests get in free every visit. There is a ZERO incentive for these people to ever get off Food Stamps.

@zephyr_z9 This is great, dogfooding it will create some positive pressure

The Bay Area should be experiencing rapid population growth that drives up incomes for a larger number of people, while also generating spillover benefits for all kinds of banal manufacturing inputs.
Instead, we have a boom with no boomtown.

@arpitrage @AndyMasley insufficient. we need an unfunded mandate for one hundred percent affordable compute imposed on all new data centers
English
@AndyMasley What if we mandated a % of data center compute is going to help process your local queries

I think a lot of people tend to overrate dislike of AI as the cause of anti data center sentiment. This NYT piece is a funny mirror image of an anti data center article, but about warehouses. I think people mostly don't like big buildings primarily used for consumers far away
Adam Ozimek@ModeledBehavior
People are mad about data centers, they're mad about warehouses. Boy if neoliberalism hadn't killed all the factories people would be mad about them too. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

It’s underrated that there is a lot of generalized hostility to anything that changes the built environment — housing, data centers, warehouses, transmission lines, utility-scale solar — it doesn’t matter, lots of people just like uniformity.

@simonsarris okay this is actually sick though
i'd be so tempted to build a las vegas style potemkin city in there

there's a basement that spans the whole house. This is enough room to start a shoe company and a microbrewery. Maybe they can have 5 workshops.

@simonsarris Probably one garage is for cars and the other is a workshop.

In my town a new luxury build now means being wedged between *two* two-car garages, rather than one. The gray bedrooms still have gray carpet, however.
Why can't developers think of a single luxurious thing they would add beyond car doors?

@beyond_capital You're making a very strong case here that capitalism is way more efficient and effective than central planning
