I don't xeet or tweet here anymore for obvious reasons. Find me at: @robotpony" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mas.to/@robotpony bsky.app/profile/robotp…

I wonder how long it will be until there is a career path in AI psychology?

This is, like, the final Final Countdown: youtube.com/watch?v=e-Wakf… This is the coolest nerdiest maker thing imaginable.

@brittneysheff Findability practices push some types of content towards weird shapes. Recipes are an example where all you want are ingredients, method, and a description, but SEO loves keywords and heft, which turns them into 10 pages of word soup. They can read like they're written by AI.

@robotpony 👀 say more I’m curious!

I'm not sure if y'all realize, but SEO has been pushing humans to create AI-level content for years. For example, popular recipe sites wrap simple lists of ingredients and steps in a bunch of nonsense text for internet points. Monetization is a much scarier trend IMO.

I love wedge salads as it is a restaurant's way of dropping the pretence of actually making a salad with bite-sized greens.

With my wife, son, and daughter in 3 different time zones, and me changing time zones a bunch of times in the last few weeks I have no idea what time it is anywhere. I’m pretty sure, though, that I shouldn’t slack my EST team right now 😝

I will always forget what something is in the freezer if I don't label it.

The whole idea of machines hallucinating reality feels oddly familiar.

I’ve always wondered how much travel is too much. So far I haven’t figured it out.

I still think of software design as a a harmony of what it needs to be (product), how you experience it (experience design), and how it all falls together (software design). For side projects I love to weave my way between all three, eventually landing on something interesting.

Colorado FTW 💛

Some days I think that most humans are AI, and not very good AI at that.

I can't bring myself to install browser extensions when they have such open access to stuff. The best I can do is keep an extension profile that I don't use for anything personal.

When I get frustrated with ads on the web I remember back to the 80s when we had magazines. They were also mostly ads, even pop-out ads that fell on the floor and floated under your furniture. We either pay for our content by renting out our eyeballs and time, or with actual $$.

Word of the day: subarashii.

they say working from home has no dress code, but then how come we all have work slacks

One of the joys of life is found in conversation with your adult children. We spent the afternoon talking with our youngest about how to build a basic, trainable neural net, and he schooled me on the maths. I can imagine no better world than one where your kids outsmart you.

What do you make when life gives you a few kilograms of baby bell peppers? Soup of course!
