Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Anxious Driver Bumper Magnet. Not to brag, but I'm not just anxious while driving. I'm anxious everywhere.

A panicked, crying brown bear drives a pink convertible surrounded by small colored stars, with a speech bubble reading "This is my hell." The text at the top reads "Anxious driver on board!" and the text at the bottom reads "Please be patient with me!"

I am still of the position Nvidia will be fine after the AI bubble pops.

Nvidia still sells real things people want that are the best in their field. It'll be a good business after the crash too.

I think it's even likely Jensen can stay CEO after the crash if he wants to - because Nvidia will […]

oh gross, found a barely masked nazi on here cosplaying as a programmer with “an interest in world war 2 and nazi history” and a fuckton of posts about how “liberals call everyone a nazi”, “I block everyone spreading lies about DHH”, “if your open source project has an anti-discrimination policy […]

Well we're not really a part of the core EA community, we're more like EA-adjacent, maybe about 30th percentile? we have some disagreements about how precisely “effectiveness” is measured and quantified when - Yeah, this is it

If anyone wants a closer look at this beautiful art of Indiana Jones obliterating the world's lamest Nazi, here ya go. It's an objectively glorious shirt.

I was unfortunately reminded that Elon Musk still exists, so tonight's Low Quality Ad is T-shirt depicting Indiana Jones punching him in the face. I like to think it is something Harrison Ford would actually do, in or out of character.

This is a certain level of detachment from reality: the thing that is my personality is so good, that you can only be against it if you're getting paid, probably by Them™.

After my comment on "Concerned AI bros" I got a message that basically went:
"Congrats, your article got some traction. We both know that you are just saying those things cause you are a contrarian and want to make money."

And I hear that not often but sometimes so a quick reality check.

Your guide to astroturf fake anti-AI groups
Chatbots are popular — ChatGPT claims 900 million monthly users. But the AI bubble is also widely hated — as its ill effects become more and more obvious. This opens an obvious market opportunity for the AI vendors: what if we start our own anti-AI groups, under our control? We can keep them moderate! Today’s […]

I don't want to give the article too much shit because moving away from big tech is important and all. But this - from someone running services - is a bad sign. Instead of checking out the docs of the software you migrate to if it has a direct migration path […]

Repositories, users, secrets, actions were super simple to move from GitHub to Forgejo. I did it manually with the help of Claude Code before realising Forgejo had a built-in migration tool, which I suspect would have probably been faster and used no tokens :D
