I don't think people appreciate the sort of fraud Nano Banana will enable.

Really pissed right now at someone on Reddit who felt it was appropriate to fake bold the title of their post.

Asking an LLM to prefix with certain emojis as a way to detect context rot is *fascinating*

Raspberry Pi prices back on the rise due to AI companies driving up DRAM prices. One more domino to fall to the AI bubble inflation pressures:

If your tech blog post has emoji bullet points, I will assume AI wrote it and I'm likely to unsubscribe.

This week in Figuring out #MicrosoftFabric, @ShbWatson talks about dealing with Fabric overwhelm. Link in the comments.

The three types of Microsoft certs: Cloud and AI, AI Business Solutions, and Security. Soon to be AI and Security, I'm sure.

Hey friends, I'm looking for early reviewers for my next course: Hands-on LLMs for Power BI Devs. In exchange for providing feedback over the next 4 months of development, you'll get lifetime access to the course. I am aiming for 4-5 hours of content, ~30 exercises.

Three years of the Lem Test, from the release of ChatGPT-3.5 (though it was not called that at the time) to Claude Opus 4.5 last week.

There is a famous, funny 1965 book by Polish author Stanislaw Lem about two rival constructors of robots. One creates a robotic poet & the other challenges it to write an impossible poem, which it does (the English translator did a great job) 👀I gave AI the same challenge 👀

Today is the last day to get 80% off #PowerBI performance tuning and consulting courses. Use code BF2025. I won't be doing another sale until July. Link in the comments. https://t.co/SPfLo7Q1LJ

Everyone on r/PowerBI is discovering AI generated SVGs. 🤦‍♂️ They are useful and appropriate in a narrow set of circumstances and inaccessible, unmaintainable slop in most circumstances.

Can someone tell me why I'm dumb enough to make a course on AI?

Some people make noise on the internet for the sake of noise. But @soren_iverson knows how to make it mean something. This is how the Weird Al of tech turned his absurdity into a world-class design agency. Full episode on YouTube.

Can someone go set a dumpster on fire and then license the photo to me?

Really makes me mad that a lot of the Adobe stock photography is AI generated (at least they label it though). If I'm going to pay money for a photo I want a real photo. I can generate crap myself for free. https://t.co/Lnm9trFSGm

Just realized I can't use that one because of the Sharealike license.
