Queue governments blaming AI companies for security holes in open source software that exposed their systems… It’s time to pull our heads out of the sand and actually fix software security issues No, humans can’t fix this. They created the mess. Only AI is useful at this scale

A: We should slow down the development of the automobile. Let’s at least force the manufacturers to put seatbelts in all their models! B: We can’t because foreign manufacturers are flying them in at remote locations and we actually need those cars That’s where we’re at RN

Most tech podcasts just sound like two+ annoying chat bots talking waffle at each other Mostly just hitting keywords for whatever is trending Worse than AI slop Human, but worthless Imagine having a huge platform and being more inane than AI 😒

The conversation over AI regulation is maddening It just sounds like AI influencers babbling inane waffle at each other Firstly, OpenAI, Anthropic and the Chinese labs are monitoring everything! The issue is the open weights models. How do we even propose safety precautions?

Is Opus 5 really making really bad decisions? Is it possibly Claude Code in general? I’ve caught Fable and Opus 5 outright lying a lot lately and when it try pin down why it’s lying, it changes its story I can’t tell if something is off or I’m just noticing it more

People on LinkedIn constantly make bold pronouncements about AI and then have to eat their words 6 mths later Either AI is useless and you can never trust it, or humans are done - AI only! Why not just face the fact that AI is going to do all the heavy coding and we guide it?

Osprey GPU + Graphics. Beautiful Osprey computes the scene in fixed-point integers and hands 8 numbers to the GPU. The GPU shades a Kali-set fractal at native res. Host language + shader, the way real renderers do it.

Hilarious watching the LinkedIn comments about Uncle Bob’s not reading AI code tweet They feel betrayed. I think they mistook the word “craftsman” as “artisan” An artisan keeps a tradition alive. A craftsman uses the best tools available and adapts

How does one get an objective set of benchmarks that compare agent harnesses instead of the model? So many bench websites compare the model/harness combo but none compare a bunch of agent harnesses with a single model We simply don’t know which harnesses are the best

Exceptions or panics are just code paths your language allows you to not handle and it’s filthy Null isn’t the billion dollar 💵 mistake Exceptions are the billion dollar 💵 mistake Try Osprey for a language that forces you to handle these cases www.ospreylang.dev

Fable token saving tip ✨ Write your spec with Fable, compact the context and start the build with Opus When it starts coding, switch to Fable for a while to get that creamy Fable code Then let Opus do the cleanup with the left over context

.NET dev: I prefer C# over Python because it’s strongly typed Me: Python has a better type system than C#. It has unions .NET dev: I have no idea what you’re talking about but at least .net has runtime safety Me: no it doesn’t. Nullability is not enforced Try Basilisk 🐍

Can we talk about how inflated us meat sack’s estimation of our own ability is? We are notoriously fallible, subject to bias, incapable of holding all the facts in our head at once, and generally bad at estimating any task And yet, many people still think they can outthink AI?
