I'm here because the billionaires aren't. I write code, make user interfaces, drink coffee, read, and try to make things a little better for people.

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

Going to work now feels like doing homework after the teacher quit and told the class that education is fake. Everyone just coasting on inertia and hoping there's still a point to all this

Thinking about the number of times I got linked to Rationalist or Effective Altruism stuff over the years (LessWrong, Slate Star Codex, Aella) and the fact that more than once I *tried* to start reading Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, and being SO THANKFUL that I bounced off of them.

There's always a king bean. First among beans, safe up on his throne. When the grinder roars awake, he looks down with pity on his doomed brethren. But, what can be done? Fate blessed him with his place, as it doomed them to theirs. Forever he will reign, even as his subjects dwindle. Yes. Forever.

Just a reminder that going down Wikipedia rabbit holes is way better for your mental health than doomscrolling, and it’s equally endless

This Bluesky Trending item appears to be 100% fabricated by @bsky.app ‘s LLM. I can’t even find any posts that it could be referring to, and it certainly isn’t true in my map apps.

The bluesky meta-discourse (e.g. today’s “bluesky lost to threads”) is extra amusing to me because I never see any of the original posts saying mean things about bluesky. I only see the people complaining about said posts, and hundreds of them! Maybe if we stopped giving them oxygen…?

I’m so annoyed with the Taco Bell finger-pointing that I decided to go there for lunch to support them. I don’t even like Taco Bell very much. Basically what I’m saying is I’m a saint

Many, many years ago I worked for a certain legal news website to which Lindsey Graham subscribed.
Anyway i hardcoded it to always spell his name wrong in the top corner, no matter how many times he tried to manually correct it.

Thanks to the schism discourse on here I am now aware of the word "dicastery." Rather than look up what it means, though, I've decided to just believe it's the place where Hot Wheels are made

Sounds about right. I feel like the near 50-50 Techbro/Neo-Luddite and Hopepilled/Doomer splits explain a lot about me.
