we have more empirical evidence that using ai as a software dev literally makes you worse at your job than we do to the contrary
if you can't afford to put yourself at a disadvantage, then not using it is the objectively correct choice

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.
I wrote a bit about the misguided effort by Democrats to replicate Joe Rogan the right-wing podcast ecosystem.

this kind of thinking makes you stupid in the long run
While I am uncertain if normal users will adapt to the chatbot conversational interfaces, I am blown away by how quickly typing sentences to a robot makes every search interface I’ve used my entire life look like a clumsy toy.

so I have a theory about this, which is that a lot of these bozos imagine ancient Greece and Rome looking like that because the surviving statues are made out of white marble
in general it is very strange for anyone — even gutter racists — to imagine the mediterranean world as somehow looking like northern europe.
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.
