I'm not sure what to make of this. A cruise ship is zooming through the Strait of Hormuz

There are now more tech workers going from the US to Europe than the other way around

Why don’t more industries operate by the simple rule in tech?
"Be nice to everyone, especially the guy in the hoodie? He might build the future."
Esp bad in finance, politics. Where else?

And btw, most of the value lies in giving time back to humans
So they can focus on value creation, not in being human APIs
It’s not about replacing SaaS with another AI-coded app.
That’s a surface-level take.
The real value lies in orchestrating digital workers and agents across systems, owning the runtime, controlling how tasks are executed, monitored, and improved.
Some of it will look like an app to humans.
Most of it will run headless.
The goal is not cheaper software.
The goal is giving time back to humans.

The AI hype about replacing all of us has accelerated massively in the last few weeks.
But the main problem with AI predictions is that Nobody actually knows what AI will achieve.
Will the small bugs preventing end-to-end pipelines get solved? Will scaling keep working? No one knows.
But on Twitter, you get two types of people talking about it:
- People with very strong opinions who have no idea about the actual capabilities of future models. They just talk with confidence.
- And CEOs of OpenAI/Anthropic/xAI who do know more, but have so many incentives that it's hard to tell what's real and what's PR. (What about GPT-2 weights? Are they still dangerous?)
The honest answer is "I don't know." But that doesn't get engagement....

This is why investing is such a brutal game
Go back 5 years to 2021. The world is shut down and everything is happening online
You could have been right about e-commerce. You could have been right about the cloud
And if you picked the company that is leading both of those categories, you got absolutely smoked by Walmart

@jameswise When you see this many deep-tech bets in one place, it signals momentum. Capital, talent and urgency are converging around hard problems again.

@tekbog Do both make you even better, burst of yapping before retreating for a while to be a yearner

if you want to be a good software engineer you have to be a yapper or a yearner

my theory is AI coding requires verbal reasoning. SWEs who have good verbal reasoning are doing well, some non-SWEs w good verbal reasoning are also doing well, but this skill is not taught to/learned by/strongly selected for in existing CS grads.

Can we stop calling them skills and prompts and just call them what they actually are: spells and invocations?

People who understand LLM technology at the technical level understand that at the end of the day, its usefulness is in completion speed of well defined tasks leveraging existing information
This is incredibly useful and not to be downplayed as a technical tool, as information becomes better structured and tasks more well defined (also with the help of the speed of AI) almost everything becomes easier
But AI cannot think in any real sense, or create in any real sense, or experience, especially not any human experience. It can appear to do these things, and savvy people can easily fool unsophisticated people with an illusion it can do these things, but people aware of the technical fundamentals understand it cannot, and is still just a computer. You will still need engineers, you will still need designers, you will still need most technical roles

Cat shot multiple times!
Good afternoon, a cat was found at our place today. He was quite injured, could barely walk and had lost his right eye. We called Potsdam Animal Rescue and they took him away. However, we were told that the cat had

Ravelstraße, 15831 Blankenfelde-Mahlow Auf Kater mehrfach geschossen! Kopie Guten Tag, bei uns wurde heute ein Kater gefunden. Er war ziemlich verletzt er konnte kaum laufen und hatte auch kein rechtes Auge mehr. Wir habe die Tierrettung Potsdam gerufen und er wurde mitgenommen. Wir haben allerdings die Mitteilung bekommen , das der Kater angeschossen worden ist und dadurch diese massiven Verletzungen erlitten hatte. Die Tierrettung hat sich dafür entschieden, ihn zu erlösen, gute Reise kleiner Kater Vielleicht erkennt jemand die Katze und kann sich bei der Tierrettung Potsdam melden.
