So yes, you are falling behind, but so is everyone else. I can guarantee you that nobody at all is keeping up with the implications of AI and its major uses, even the people who are relatively up-to-date on the latest AI models themselves. Everyone is figuring it out as they go

This from @obie captures how I'm feeling about coding agents

Even if current LLM progress hits a brick wall at Opus 4.5 level (and I doubt that will happen) the next 12 months are still going to be a staggering time of change in this industry as decision makers start truly understanding the new reality we live in. https://t.co/cB2iOcHcN6

This is the end of my ability to detect AI images. It only took 3 years of consumer gen AI to reach that level.

it’s hard to overstate how deranged the pace is at the moment (even ppl like ilya are amazed by it). we’re in this weird liminal epoch where reality is outpacing people’s priors so fast that most minds just silently segfault. my contrarian take is that we’re inside a cultural

Look, if we remove the slippery slope fallacy from the list of logical fallacies, then before you know it we’ll be removing all the other informal fallacies from the list and will soon forget the very concept of an informal fallacy altogether.

two sides of the same coin

if i had a nickel for every MIT professor who told me GPT5 made a novel research discovery in the past week, i'd have 2 nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's strange that it happened twice

Google publishes a paper showing that its AI models only use 0.26 mL of water in data centers per prompt. After, this article gets published: "Google says a typical AI prompt only uses 5 drops of water - experts say that's misleading." The reason the expert says this is

ChatGPT o3-pro identifies a 1965 quote by I. J. Good hand-written in a mix of print and cursive on a note ripped into four strips in reverse order rotated 90° in alternating directions:

I like em dashes, and I hate that some people now take them as evidence of text being AI generated.

Completely agree. LLMs being possible should feel like insane magic.

software engineers afraid of losing their jobs misunderstand their profession and the craft you are supposed to see patterns and solve business problems, do research to make the systems and product better code is means to an end, not the end itself, it never was

You, a modern biohacker: No screens after 8, melatonin gummies, eye mask Meanwhile Napoleon:

If you’re thinking of using @OpenAi’s Codex with @rails 8, you need a custom setup script (under Environments > (your environment) > Edit > Advanced). Here’s mine, with hat tip to @swombat: https://t.co/JQUzDDJUw2

An NYU professor AI-proofed his assignments. The students complained they were too hard and that “he was interfering with their ‘learning styles.’”

Seems like a good time for an update on a graph from my 2015 post on AI.
