Wow we really are turning into LinkedIn
One developer hasn’t turned on their Slack status in weeks. No green dot, no away message, just quiet ambiguity. People have started asking if he’s even working. I reached out to clarify. He said he prefers not to broadcast his activity, and his manager was fine with it. I

If an engineer tells you they can replace a service you’re paying for, and the service costs less than you pay them, tell them to get back to fucking work. Engineers are SO bad at valuing their time properly. They can’t be trusted to make good economic decisions.

It's kind of sad seeing how spaced out the Advent of Code board is now that they went from 25 puzzles to 12. Still so excited. 16 minutes til it starts!

Yeah we're so cooked, nobody gets this at all. https://t.co/S6xWQQSHWX
The idea that AI video and images can’t be “put back in the bag” is so obviously false. Plenty of content, from copyrighted songs to X rated material, is automatically struck down from platforms in a split second. Absolutely no reason we can’t mandate the same for AI content.

I don't think the general public is going to accept that "ai detection" isn't really viable

Sony did this 10 years ago. It was terrible. You have to stuff the entire camera sensor into the lens to make it work. This means: - much worse sensor quality - no market for lens swapping - massive entry cost - all data has to transfer wirelessly to phone
The smartphone just declared war on the camera industry Xiaomi just dropped a wild idea: a smartphone with a detachable pro-grade camera lens. A phone that snaps on a real lens with magnets. Yes, magnets. It’s a clever move at a strange moment in history. Camera sales keep

Fun fact, I've never been able to use the "audience" tab in analytics on here. It crashes when I try to load it. Web and mobile.

AI art is bad. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. After the Suno drama with Jasmine, I decided it was time to put my thoughts into a video.

This took almost an hour to run. I've spent over $100 on various test runs trying to get it right. Evals are super fun, just expensive

Wrote a quick bench to see how models perform in creative writing after being given feedback on their first draft. Boosted gpt-5.1's win rate by 66%, putting it over Kimi k2. Fascinating. Also - Opus 4.5 performs terribly for writing but is the GOAT for reviewing?

If only there was a better solution…
For the first time, I am fully subscribed to all 4 frontier AI models simultaneously and use them in tandem. Each model has a distinct personality, strength or perspective profile so instead of relying on a single system, I treat them as a kind of grand council of AI advisors.☺️

Theo was one of the only creators who gave us credit and told everyone to follow us, while others cropped out the source from our posts. That alone brought in tens of demo bookings and even converted users. Esp helpful as we launched our new web search API for AI Agents Some of
It’s so easy to leave credit in. It takes effort to remove it. 40k follower account removing credit from the work of a 95 follower account is pathetic. Give @chrispisarski and his company @crustdata a follow
