Every AAA studio: "Sorry about the bugs, we’ll fix it in the next 12 patches. Also, here's a day one 300gb patch" Nintendo: "Here's a game. It works." The silence around their polish is crazy.

Maybe AGI isn’t AI becoming smarter. Maybe it’s humans getting dumber. We’re already using GPT-4o as emotional support; how far off can we really be?

o3 is cool and all, but as a regular dev who just wants a massive context window and fast replies, I’m not here to wait five minutes for a reply. I want speed, not a TED talk.

A couple of days each week, I enforce strict no-AI coding days. No LLMs, no autocomplete. It’s unsettling how much efficiency drops without them, but I do it deliberately, to keep skills sharp and avoid mental atrophy.

Man, everything got soft. Even the animals. Everyone's dog has skin allergies now. Kids can't eat half the food aisle. In the 90s, the only thing people had was asthma, and the family dog ate whatever was left on the plate. What happened dawg?

Rumor has it when GPT-4.5 drops this Thursday, Sama has managed to compress the model so much it can now run locally inside your balls. Finally, true edge computing.

Severance is easily one of the best TV shows I’ve seen in years, an instant classic. Perfectly unsettling, brilliantly written and the cinematography is amazing. Ben Stiller knocks it out of the park with the direction.

Blockchain is the future, they say. Just not this future, apparently. Billions invested, endless hype, yet barely anyone uses it at scale. Maybe the real innovation was the VC funding we made along the way.

It's so incredibly sad that people blinded by their political hatred believe Ross Ulbricht deserved multiple life sentences and wasn't over-prosecuted. He deserved jail, but those sentences were excessive compared to similar cases. Ulbricht deserved jail; but all his charges were non-violent.
