@Ethiopid You have to understand that there are levels to this. If Jokic is on the court and you aren't playing through him, you will find yourself riding the bench.
This possession here is why I dislike Christian Braun. There is zero aggression in his halfcourt game. He always just plays off Jokic and never for himself. I’d be fine with that if he could shoot but he can’t. Notice he doesn’t take the wide open 3.
@petemuntean Donald Trump said we wouldn't have a country if he hadn't been elected
well I tell you what we would have, open airports and no lines at TSA
and no matter what side of the aisle you are, Iran is an absolute disaster
🚨 BREAKING: Potomac TRACON, the key radar facility handling D.C. airspace, has been evacuated to “ATC ZERO” according to FAA alerts. The FAA is now implementing ground stops for flights to Reagan National, Dulles, BWI, Charlottesville and Richmond airports.
@sama AI will not help create anything “new” by definition since is Backward looking tool based on an historical dataset hence will always be bound to stick to what already exists. If anything AI will bring efficiency in repetitive time consuming tasks automation.
AI will help discover new science, such as cures for diseases, which is perhaps the most important way to increase quality of life long-term.
AI will also present new threats to society that we have to address. No company can sufficiently mitigate these on their own; we will need a society-wide response to things like novel bio threats, a massive and fast change to the economy, extremely capable models causing complex emergent effects across society, and more.
These are the areas the OpenAI Foundation will initially focus on, and in my opinion are some of the most important ones for us to get right. The Foundation will spend at least $1 billion over the next year.
@woj_zaremba, co-founder of OpenAI, will transition to Head of AI Resilience. I believe that shifting how the world thinks about safety to include a Resilience-style approach is critical, and I am extremely grateful to Wojciech for taking on this role.
Wojciech has been my cofounder for the last decade; anyone who knows him will understand what I mean when I say he is one of a kind. He has a lot of ideas about how we build a new kind of AI safety.
@JacobTref is joining as Head of Life Sciences and Curing Diseases.
@annaadeola, our VP of Global Impact, will transition to Head of AI for Civil Society and Philanthropy.
@robert_kaiden is joining as Chief Financial Officer.
@jeffarnold is joining as Director of Operations.
NBA ratings are at multi-decade lows for the NBA Finals. The NBA’s all time most watched game was in 1998. This year the NCAA tourney is setting all time record viewership. The Super Bowl all time high was two years ago. Why has NBA tanked while other leagues soared? Vote below.
@flashbangscamp@reallouiehuey Everyone supporting Trump in this thread reminds me of liberals taking their 18th Covid booster while wearing a mask in their cars by themselves.

⚡️ NEW: Block, Inc. has quietly rehired some of the 4,000 employees it laid off last month, with some workers receiving offers to return after the cuts were linked to clerical errors.
Bitcoin isn't useless because it cannot be duplicated, there's also Monero and coinmixing, but more importantly, while precious metals are good the market is highly manipulated, and good luck turning them in at fair value, the main issue with metals is liquidity. If it were up to me, I'd abolish the US Monetary system, default on all debt, then create a new currency 100% backed by precious metals and any fiat is 1:1 with a completely locked down reserve with 100% transparency, I'd also make fair value exchange for sed precious metals 1:1 minus maybe a 1% fee for transaction/cost purposes.
@trikcode Yeah software engineers are getting laid of at a record pace and are being crushed by the pressure of their skills being rendered useless. Definitely the happiest people on earth...
Software engineers are the happiest people on Earth now.
They pay $100/month for Claude Code to do the work.
Their employer pays them $10,000/month for the results.
$9,900 profit for sipping coffee and talking to AI.
The funniest part?
Not a single dev with a full-time job will ever admit this publicly
What a time to be alive.
@TechLayoffLover@his_eminence_j What makes you think no one wants to admit it? It sounds like this recruiter just admitted it and confirmed it, did she not?
Just spoke with a recruiter who's been placing tech talent since 2011
She's never seen numbers like this
Used to see 50-80 applications per senior engineering role. Now seeing 2,847 for a single L5 backend position at a major cloud provider
Response rate to her outreach dropped from 40% in 2023 to 3% today. Engineers are desperate but companies aren't biting
She placed 127 engineers last year. This year? 8 total placements
Showed me a spreadsheet of her corporate clients. 23 companies that used to hire 15-20 engineers per quarter
Half of them have hiring freezes that aren't officially hiring freezes. "Paused indefinitely pending AI integration review"
The other half are only hiring "AI-native" roles - which means one senior who can wrangle LLMs to replace what used to be a 6-person team
Had a Fortune 500 retail client tell her straight up: "We're not hiring humans for development anymore. Our offshore team uses Cursor and ships 60% faster at one-fifth the cost"
Another client just eliminated their entire junior and mid-level engineering pipeline. Going straight from intern to senior. No ladder to climb
The brutal part: she's getting calls from VPs at these same companies asking her to find AI specialists to "optimize their workforce transformation"
They want her to recruit the people who will automate everyone else out
She's updating her LinkedIn to "Former Tech Recruiter" next week
The age of human software engineers is ending and nobody wants to admit it
I asked my cousin (he’s a software engineer) if his company uses Cursor or Claude.
He said none. They code line by line. No AI.
I thought he was joking. He wasn’t.
He’s heard of these tools but has never even tried them.
In 2026, there are still companies writing everything manually? Why??
I've been debating if I wanted to post this... because this is genuinely TERRIFYING me.
I've been using Claude Code with Opus 4.6 and the leap it made over the last year is terrifying.
Context: I'm a developer with well over 15 years of experience. I'm using the AI for an evolution sandbox simulation.
The AI frequently 1shots tasks that would take me 4-16 hours.
I'm steering it and creating a lean architecture by guiding the AI and writing the main classes myself. Right now is probably the sweet spot where your knowledge as an experienced developer can turn you into a 100x developer.
However, that's not the point.
I'm afraid (and I hope to be wrong) that within the next 5-10 years any developer, manager, most research and most jobs that we see as 'high profile thinking tasks' will become obsolete.
This is honestly a future I dread. The cultural consequences will be absurd.
What's your take?
PS1: I'm withholding usage of AI for anything creative and critical (including my filter/filterblade projects).
PS2: I'm training myself no matter what project I use to always have at least 2-3 hours of writing code by hand every day to stay sharp, but practically I can now be around 10x more efficient, by delegating agents and guiding them to build the right architecture.
PS3: If you think creative or management jobs are not at risk, unfortunately I believe chances are very high that you're wrong.
@khushiirl@Tushar_Jsx Developers really aren't even typing their own code these days. Honestly with Autocomplete in IDEs, it's been a long time since an excersize like that would have been helpful.
Exactly. Adding AI is the innovation (for real). My SaaS now connects to openai asynchronous to execute processes, refine data, and create a more unique experience. Let's take a CRM for example. It can now ask Ai, "based on this set of rules, our marketing goals, and the recorded interactions we have had with X customer, do we need to contact them? Yes? Okay cool craft me a custom email to send them that includes personal references from previous interaction. (Ai Creates email text and my system sends it off)". SaaS companies will have to integrate or risk a new player stealing their business. Algorithms will integrate steps based on context driven feedback from Ai. During the dot com boom if you announced your domain, stock soared. During the crypto boom there were companies who integrated block chain into their offerings, same thing. There will likely be a similar pattern for companies launching their new AI integrated SaaS products. Many will be posers, but the ones who do it right will take SaaS to the next level.
2026 Southern OPS Network Conference Series – A Great Success!
Today, nearly 40 law enforcement professionals from across New Jersey attended the first of three 2026 OPS Network Conference Series and CMA accreditation courses.
Why are devs so 'pro-AI' while artists are so 'anti'? 🗣️
It feels like coders are leaning into the tech to work faster, but creators are genuinely angry and frustrated by it.
Is the difference just that programmers are used to constant change, or is the impact on their jobs just fundamentally different?
Would love to hear some insights on why these two groups are reacting so differently!
The biggest opportunity to get super loaded right now is the entertainment industry.
Ai is about to bring about a creative renaissance.
All the money in Hollywood, Netflix, Amazon prime, actors and IPs is about to go solely to small teams of creators.
We will see 2-3 man billion $$ IPs.
Imagine Attack On Titan or the entire Hunger Games trilogy… but made by a team of 5 and they get all the money from it with almost no overhead outside marketing.
Imagine if George RR was able to produce and distribute Game of Thrones with his own small in house team.
9 and 10 figure pay days left and right without even having to exit.
People are not quite seeing the scale of this. The next Walt Disney of AI is being born right now.
@ZssBecker Really? I would think you'd have 100s beating down your door. I have a buddy who is looking. He is a great developer and is great with AWS. He has built a few open sourced packages to work with AI as well. Lmk if you want his resume.
SaaS is dead. Let’s discuss.
Right now I use Iclosed call bookings at one of the SaaS I own doing 40millionish ARR.
I 1000% can vibe code my own booking app. And it would be good. I can do it this weekend.
Then factor in
- My time ($10k a hour)
- Having a dev maintain it
- The inevitable loss of sales due errors
- The staff time required to switch
And I will have invested/lost literally 100x what Iclosed cost me in a year
All to eliminate an absolutely meaningless cost on our budget.
So no. I’m not going to be Vibe coding Iclosed. I’m just going to keep growing my business and never think about call booking software.
SaaS will be fine.
