“It doesn’t overwhelm you on day one. It doesn’t gamify your productivity. It doesn’t trap you inside someone else’s framework. It just gives you tools. If you’re the kind of person who likes shaping their environment instead of being shaped by it, that’s powerful.”

Doomerism is a form of AI hyping.
Both hypers and doomers tend to say AI is capable of doing things it cannot do now, and is unlikely to do anywhere in the near future.
Both create a narrative that makes AI out to be extremely sophisticated rather than a probability machine.

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

It's been a long time coming.
This could accelerate all that hopefully. Honestly, if you knowingly and willingly steal books at this scale — you’re a criminal organization and belong in jail.
Conway's Law is probably is one of those things that once you internalize it, you start to see its effects everywhere. Therefore, I decided to record a master class on it. Enjoy!

Often the impact people have on your growth can be traced back to just a few key moments. One of those moments was about to happen with my boss.

This essay is one of the trashiest trash things I have read from a company in the AI space. Or tech in general.
I think there are real questions about AI but there are companies in this space that have decent ethical compasses. Perplexity has proven time and again that it is not one of them.
Finally also set up a proper BlueSky account for @alt.management attached to the proper domain.
I considered this, and may still do. I’m just afraid of “enshittfying” @silverbullet.md as a result.

This piece: “Is AI a Silver Bullet?” is absolutely the best one I’ve read so far on the whole “will AI replace engineers” topic (spoiler alert: no). It’s a long read, and you need to read it closely but good stuff. Will likely write up a few nuances on this. ian-cooper.writeas.com/is-ai-a-silv...
I’m using each platform the way it’s optimized. 100% hype, 0 substance on X.
Exactly my experience. There is seemingly such a push to move fast that quality suffers dramatically.
“Well that depends, where are you in Zef’s Level Framework of AI Coder Adoption (ZLFOAICA™)?”
“Level framework!? How exciting, tell me more!”
“Fine, let me pull up my deck.”

If you say “it’s over” unironically I’m going to unfollow you. Just saying.
Perhaps in the EU we will finally get some technology first.
Vibe coding it? 🤓
