Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

I spent a significant amount of time on LinkedIn today and lemme tell you…
I became curious about what a gun tastes like.
The people who use LinkedIn on the regular are deranged non-persons.

I do feel tech has a certain kind of brain rot that other industries don’t suffer from.
Artists rightfully want blood for the stolen work that AI is trained on because they’ll never see pay for their stolen work.
Engineers will tell you you’re a fucking loser for questioning the same for code.

I've never seen Meet Joe Black but without looking up the plot I think it's a movie about Brad Pitt getting hit by a car and thinking he's Jamaican.

Right now many companies are banking on AI being good for writing code, but when the AI bubble does burst I cannot imagine how cost prohibitive it will be to automate the boilerplate parts of writing code if they weren't even able to make the economics work at scale.

even those of us who keep insisting this is historically and unprecedentedly stupid are still not doing a good job of establishing just how stupid this is. like, this is so stupid it’s the kind of thing you read people in antiquity making reference to as something so dumb/weird they doubt it’s true

I am going to spend the next week or two doing some shit I really don’t want to do.
First, I have to get up to speed with LLMs used for coding. Not because I believe in them, but because employees expect it now. Not because they speed up development, but because it boosts investor confidence.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

And it doesn’t help that I’m doing dry January and I could use a glass of whiskey and some sleep.
The first day after losing a job is the worst.
It only took me 2 weeks to find work last time this happened but that first day is just spiraling what ifs and worries about managing my responsibilities even though I have savings.
I’m luckier than a lot of people in that regard. But it sucks dick.
