Thanks to the clients I was doing ads for back then, I had a ringside seat to that fandango. And history sure seems to be rhyming.

There's a very good piece over at the Verge which argues that language doesn't equal intelligence, and I would agree with that. And when Open AI is telling users not to trust LLMs with financial, legal, or medical writing that's not sending a great signal, hence the flatlining.

Having studied Capability Brown in college, Arcadia was a particular pleasure to see live. What a talent.

I'll stack my cranberry 'ketchup' - that's what the recipe calls it - against whatever's in that bowl. And yes, it was served in a proper dish.

I think the right-wing conspiracy active here is quite old and mundane: the belief that government is full of freeloaders, or full of leftists which are the same thing

As you can see, we all had "lower productivity jobs in the public sector" and a presumed lazy desire for extended vacation

Although DOGE occasionally pretended to modernize some computer system, the only non-vaporware changes to software they ever oversaw (mostly they didn't write the code themselves, just leaned on someone else to do so) were to remove "DEI" stuff from government websites

I've taken a deep dive into the DOGE bro's open source software code commits to verify they never wrote (or even oversaw) any code beyond culture war messaging. It's all trivial stuff like this: taking out the "nonbiary" option on some form.
