Couldn’t have written it better myself. I think this perfectly sums up my love-hate relationship with both AI sceptics and lovers online.

Frontier Developments has really been "cooking" as the kids say these days, with the recent Planet Coaster 2 updates. New themes and features like on-ride photos are awesome. i just hope swing launches/spikes are high on their to-do list.

Love this pair of answers from the Web Dev AI survey: "AI has made me more productive, but it will make other people lazy and stupid" and it's the exact same numbers for both. 2025.stateofai.dev/en-US/opinio...

Isn't the whole point of growing older that you stop giving a fuck about what's cool or cringe?

I like BlueSky, but it's so weird sometimes! There are certain people I follow, whose posts I only see when I go to the Discover tab. Not sure why;

There are legitimate reasons not to use LLMs, but not doing so for climate reasons might be pennywise but pound foolish.

I'm starting to hate having to deal with on-screen keyboard UI issues in React Native. Can't we all go back to phones with hardware keyboards and be done with this crap? /s.
