I've been meaning to write up a post about my views of AI. First off, I hate that it's called AI. That is misleading stealing of a specific term for marketing that has become a groupthink/religious term... ...that makes people think it's intelligent.
I still think AI systems should be paying me 150k per copyright violation. People keep asking me 'what laws do we need for AI?' and I keep saying 'enforce the fucking ones we already have!' There are copyright laws that should be being enforced right now that just... aren't. B/c it's billionaires.

City Council of Darkness, @dimension20.dropout.tv's latest season, is so chaotic and everyone is a gremlin. I love it so much.
I would love to see @dimension20.dropout.tv seasons novelized at some point. I adore the show and love watching folks play, but I'd also love getting deeper into the stories, the worlds, and the lore.

Cory's done it again. This time he's explained, sorta, what we as developers do when we "rubber duck" a problem. AI infers too much when I rubber duck. I want someone try to understand from my angle when I explain.
One of the best ways to evaluate your own understanding of a subject is to attempt to explain it to someone else. Through explaining things, we discover how much of the "totally obvious" world is actually full of ambiguity, mystery and contradiction. 1/

A new Git version just dropped and it comes with a new experimental `history` command! `reword` can be used to change commit messages and `split` can untangle a single commit into multiple ones. No more interactive rebase. 🎉 github.blog/open-source/...

With the Trump administration switching into anti-Catholic overdrive this week, I wrote about a time a hundred years ago when Catholic students from Notre Dame beat the shit out of the Klan. A feel good story for the ages. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

@twentysidedtavern.bsky.social was an awesome show tonight. Loved seeing @aabria.bsky.social and @erikaishii.bsky.social and the whole cast!
I haven’t been looking forward to traveling to NYC again so soon, but just booked a ticket for @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social and now I’m looking forward to the trip a bit more.

This whole thread is very correct. Until I was laid off from the Reader, half of what I did was try to divine previous decisionmaking because nobody really knew why things had been built the way they had been. And now that's true with my work there too. A frustrating cycle continues.
I do think that one of the biggest problems I hear about inside media companies is a total lack of institutional memory. Top level leaders are not involved at the level of detail to know what is happening and media cos are constantly shedding, and failing to provide incentives to retain, talent.

For the new year, I’m going to follow Dan Sinker’s guide on daily journaling. I struggle with task management at work, and with keeping track of what I’ve done throughout the year. I also have some chronic illnesses that would benefit from tracking. https://dansinker.com/posts/reflections
