I asked Claude for some jokes. This one is inadvertently a great llm joke:

What month of the year is the shortest? March β€” it only has four letters!

Sorry but we’ll look back at this CLI trend and think it was real quaint, like RealPlayer at the dawn of the internet.

It won’t last.

Your AI Agent Is Building Shadow IT and Nobody Noticed Every enterprise has a version of the same problem: the tools people are given don’t quite match the work they actually do. For decades, the gap between β€œwhat I need” and β€œwhat IT approved” has been b...

Interesting byproduct of super fast implementation: pair building with design becomes practical. It used to be that you’d give feedback and eng goes and fixes it async because it took a while. Now changes can be near instant, so having a designer there to co-create in real time actually makes sense.

Clawd is an ai bot tool, so the joke is that it's taken over his Twitter and is warning other clawds.

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

DHS Is Lying To You About ICE Shooting a Woman At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

New: DHS is lying to you.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis. Shots clearly fired while vehicle already turning away from the officer. But DHS lied. Trump lied. Noem lied. Even judges have catalogued DHS' serial lying

Pretty soon we're likely to see open software spec prompt sharing: rather than building software and sharing that as open source, we'll see a spec (a prompt) shared and iterated on and people just drop that into the ai of their choice and it builds the app with whatever customization they need.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Looks really useful! Could we pass a seed somehow for reproducible randomness? Snapshot tests need consistency.

Oh I’m just reading a lot lately about how software development is changing when building AI powered applications vs. classic deterministic apps.

The post is about the need to create and continually curate golden evaluations to ensure your app is behaving as you intend.

I think my prediction for where we’ll see ai agent capabilities plateau is: they’ll resemble exceptionally intelligent, highly productive humans (superhuman, really), yet they’ll still feel uninspiring without human copilots guiding them regularly.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.
