Jerkcity still good
Who held the orb best
Wonder what the Internet Explorer moment will be for the AI wave. We won’t be paying for AI subscriptions in a few years. One of the big companies will integrate a top-of-the-line agentic LLM to their OS and offer it for free. The rest will have to follow a similar path. You’ll always need the OS
Time of the year for this gem:
We’re so back: subprime mortgage loan ads on IG
Putting Marjorie Taylor Greene on 60 minutes probably brilliant. Not gonna watch the whole thing ofc, this one’s for the clips online
I will now defend myself by paraphrasing jack nicholson in that scene from a few good men, who is the hero of that movie btw
Time to start doing my wintry mix sports in Boston! Not-skiing, not-cycling, not-even-doing-any-walking, etc.
I think Google will win this GPT thing and Microsoft will eat OpenAI in 5 years and be a close second. But who knows
Best decision of my academic life might have been to not take NLP too seriously in grad school… what a wiped-out subfield, GPT definitely took those jobs
Dog mountain is a charming place of remembrance. Much concentrated evidence of love for dog. Definitely visit if you are around it

It caught me by surprise how quickly eugenics became acceptable, in different dimensions, by both the right and the left in America
Aaah people are buying property on debt again from what I am hearing 😮💨
don’t make me change the lyrics to arabian nights again
Living in an exurb must be so grim. Their whole engagement with culture is big box stores and chain restaurants. This is what they feel nostalgia for because this is their whole life.
This particular cursed fake Reddit map hits hard for me
My favorite agentic task I have given successfully to software builder LLMs is “Fix the build”. Not the most impressive or interesting. Just my favorite
Proud of this one! Just some API redesign that I finally had some time to do, and now we have seamless full OTA on any app.
Reddit has a formatting bug on my phone that slightly slants conversations, creating this wobbly effect… I kinda love it
It can’t be said enough that the Democratic Party isn’t strictly real. America doesn’t have real political parties. The Democrats are a loose affiliation of donor networks and elected officials that allow you to use their brand name if you win an election.
Just a reminder going forward...

Another beautiful piece of our platform just dropped 😍 No one likes to develop edge computing on-device if they can help it!
