30% of Python code is now AI-generated.
Meanwhile, many lawyers are still afraid to let AI draft a simple NDA.
The difference? Software developers have automated tests. Lawyers don't (but they should).

New Blog Post: Fuck! ChatGPT Really Is Ruining Writing (And I Told You So)!
Two years ago I called this shit and now it's happening - ChatGPT is making "perfect language" and its signifiers low status. Polish now equals suspicious. Clean writing screams bot.

Wild to me that there is a machine that gives you answers correctly 80% of the time, and makes stuff up 20% of the time and most of the time people don’t double check what it says.

A historic moment as we witness the first American leading the Catholic Church.
Hailing from Chicago, Pope Leo XIV ushers in a new chapter that I join those in our state welcoming in at a time when we need compassion, unity, and peace.

The new pope is revealed as Robert Prevost of the US, the first American pontiff in history.

LLMs are definitely changing writing, but it goes both ways: if you don’t want to write you can outsource more and more of the work to LLMs. But if you want to write more and better, LLMs are incredible tools!
I think a lot about what my school years would've been like with access to modern LLMs. I'd almost certainly have come out worse at writing. And would that matter?

The U.S. did make something that the world wanted: stable financial assets with decent returns. We were amazing at that!
If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want.
You're not going to win that.

I guess AI really has been tough on artists.
I’m a regular at this coffee shop. my baristas asked me what I was up to and I said “drawing a bird like always” which led to me jokingly suggest they have a bird drawing competition and I can be the judge. when I came back they’d actually done it
