If you're a developer ignoring your long-term goals just to shoehorn AI into your product don't forget to add this button for the majority of us. Thanks! πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

Think I got this or something similar on VHS with a PlayStation magazine. I must have obsessed over every little detail to theorise what the game would be like.

Shout out to The Legend of Zelda after 40 years! A game whose sense of exploration and adventure still feels unparalleled to me in many ways.

Graphic in an early Soviet style, showing three stages of a worker wielding a hammer onto a computer with the letters 'AI' on the screen. The text slogan on the image reads 'If you see AI, you block AI'

LLM code gen is allergic to software design.

It's a side-effect of limited context - drives it to primitive obsession and a bunch of other smelly designs.

You can navigate it to good outcomes, but it's very reflective of the difference between "scripts" and "software" if you don't pay attention.

Even with the CRUD stuff I'm still thinking AI is the wrong tool for the job. Instead we need better frameworks.

If your app is 90% CRUD why can't we have a YAML file with a list of endpoints, fields and database tables and let the framework do the job with meta-programming (kind rails on steroids)

Last week when adobe said they were gonna discontinue animate I got really angry and started building my own animation program. I’m calling it FrameBoy.

I want it to be a free animation program for everyone forever.

Just saw @ovaettr.gay say β€œshut the fuck up prompter” to an AI asshole and oh my god the absolute perfect new moniker for people who claim to be creatives that are making nothing.

I have not played the game yet but this has seriously inspired me with an idea for artwork in my own game, ❀️

AI stans warn us not to β€œget left behind”. The reality is the people who really are getting left behind are the ones who think the bottlenecks and blockers they’ve struggled with in the past will magically get out of the way of the code-generating firehose.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Blue sky to forever,
The green grass blows in the wind, dancing
It would be much better a sight with you, with me,
If you hadn't met me, I'd be fine on my own, baby,
I never felt so lonely, then you came along 🎢

Minneapolis is MinnMax's home and it's being torn apart by ICE agents with no regard for our rights. ICE is harassing/abducting people of color on a daily basis.

Please donate to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota to help provide free legal representation to those in need. bit.ly/minnmaxgives

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
