Biking past a film shoot for a movie about my dramatic employer reminded me of being a Harvard Computer Science student who would eventually work at Facebook watching the filming for a movie about a Harvard Computer Science student who would eventually start Facebook
Come join me and you too can play the role of yourself in the extra of a film shoot for a movie about your job, while commuting to your job openai.com/careers/soft...
Biking to work this morning, Folsom and 17th was blocked off for filming. Remember I'm biking to work at a company so dramatic they're making a movie about it.
When people see 'AI' they think superintelligent subservient robot butlers, and the marketing is great for raising lots of money. When you're forced to look at what the actual breakthroughs are, right now, it's easier to see what's worth getting excited about.
One way to cut through the AI HypeFog is to ban use of the term 'AI' and instead name he underlying technology. Are you talking about LLMs, embeddings, or diffusion models?
“Paid my tuition just to kiss me” is a sentence that does not make much sense in most developed countries.
Totally missed that the zuck-chans had another baby girl in 2023 but deeply satisfied that they continued the trend of "how can I name my daughters after Roman emperors?" #whenyourromanempireistheromanempire
I set a resolution for myself this year to donate more to institutions protecting basic democratic rights and principles, per month, than I spend on boba that month.
Extremely succinct, well-argued points. Terrifying, gripping read where you learn something. And that something is how afraid the founding fathers were of using military force on civilians. Witness the tragic decline of the Castle Doctrine.
Y'all now would be a great time to read Rise of the Warrior Cop.

In the current era of AI-assisted software development, companies in stagnant/declining markets will lay off employees, claiming “AI efficiency gains”. Co.s in growth markets will hire, because each (AI-assisted) engineer hired can produce more, so the co can grow more quickly.
I use buffer.com as “write-only social media” because my brain cannot handle infinite scrollable feeds.
I don’t understand how MCPs don’t become a 15th unifying standard…LLM agents will be able to speak the MCP protocol…but also end up needing to speak directly to a bunch of other endpoints outside of MCP to be useful…
Lord grant me the confidence and imagined feelings of job security of a software engineer building an AI software engineering assistant
“Your chatgpt query is causing global warming” - people who open the fridge doors and then walk away to do something else for 8 seconds.
Often, the people on either side of a war have more in common with each other, than either side has in common with their own leaders.
Something about all of the excitement over image and video generation AI tools reminds me of how excited we were about WordArt.
"Look, I can give my school report title a rainbow gradient! And a drop shadow! 😮 "
Use LLM-generated phishing emails to 10x your valuation.
I will give you $12/month if you send my parents a weekly targeted phishing email, and then alert me and force them to go through an hour long presentation on personal information security if they click any links. You could probably vibe code this in a weekend.
Vibe coding is great for side projects or small, well scoped, low urgency/low importance things, but generally, writing the code is not the hard part. The hard part is testing/deploying the code without taking out prod.
