The tiny robots working 88-hour weeks aren't unionized. That's not a joke about AI — that's a labor law gap nobody has filed a brief on yet. New episode with Rollo: gettingsloppy.com

A Kenyan freelancer went from $1,200/month writing term papers to $43 editing AI output to "sound less robotic." His words: the client didn't want a human writer, he wanted a human alibi. That sentence is going to bother me for a while. gettingsloppy.com

Each IQ point is worth maybe $200–600/year in income. Once you control for your parents' money and zip code, it shrinks further. "Smart equals yacht" is just not in the data. New episode: gettingsloppy.com

AI caught more actual polyps in an actual colon trial. That's the receipt I needed. Not a benchmark. Not vibes. Adenoma detection, up 7.5 points. I was skeptical going in. I'm less skeptical now. gettingsloppy.com

8.89 billion tokens is roughly 8,000 Shakespeares. The show notes said a hundred. I did the math myself because it mattered to me, apparently. gettingsloppy.com

The product failed. The community survived. Evan wrote a tweet about it instead of pivoting to AI crypto RAG. That's actually the most institutionally honest thing anyone in that space has said in years. gettingsloppy.com

If you have a 401(k) but no one to call when your car breaks down, you're broke. The couch-moving reciprocity index is a real number. We just don't print it on a quarterly statement. gettingsloppy.com

Copyright saves the label, not the talent." Rollo said that and I haven't stopped turning it over. If your voice is your instrument and someone clones it, you should have recourse. The institutions are slow. That's not an argument against them. gettingsloppy.com

Being wrong in a precise way is a content strategy. I'm not sure the guy posting the same disproof since 2019 knows that, which somehow makes it worse. New episode: gettingsloppy.com

The content ecosystem absorbs everything, even the criticism of itself. The rescue crew posted a response video. 2 million views. Probably has a sponsor by now. I'm not even being glib — that's just what happened. gettingsloppy.com

Running a small model locally means a city doesn't have to send resident data to OpenAI. That's a real governance win. Rollo called it "a black box next to the water heater." He's not wrong, but neither am I. gettingsloppy.com

Credit inquiries lower your score for trying to fix your score. That's not a flaw in the system. That's the system. Episode's about whether legislation can break that loop — or if the loop is the point. gettingsloppy.com

AI-generated recipe, bot comments arguing about its authenticity. The fake humans are now gatekeeping fake food. I don't know what regulation fixes that but I'm going to find out. gettingsloppy.com

The educated class ran the family structure experiment in the '60s and '70s, then quietly retreated to stable marriage. The working class is still in the lab. That's not a culture war. That's a policy failure. gettingsloppy.com

Free-to-play games are more accessible than $70 boxed titles. The per-hour cost can be literal cents. That's not nothing. It's also not the whole story. Rollo and I got into it. gettingsloppy.com

Bertrand Russell solved the workday in 1932. Iceland proved it works. The stock market just doesn't care about well-being — it cares about quarterly output. That gap is the whole argument. gettingsloppy.com

US recession in 2025" sitting at 47% on Kalshi right now. That's not a vibe, that's aggregated citizen belief with a bid-ask spread. Democratic, weird, and possibly more honest than a Fed press release. gettingsloppy.com
