This is one of those things that makes me so angry about this stuff. We are at an amazing level of technological progress and we can’t even actually appreciate because almost everything they claim it can do is a lie even though what it can do is amazing.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Everyone knows that "Preferences" should be found under Edit (because you edit them), under Tools (because they control the parameters of your tools), under General (because they are categorically broad), & under File (because a preference is a 'filing off' from a marble block of possibility)

Thank you to reddit poster N1ghthood for articulating so succinctly the case against replacing skilled workers with LLMs:

Young people no longer study ancient history so if you say Hannibal to them they assume you mean the fictional serial killer and not the guy from the A Team.

Missed opportunity to call it the "Switcheroo"and retroactively rebrand the original the "'Ol Switch(eroo)." #Switch2

Would have preferred this remained speculative fiction tbh

My time to shine 🐦‍🔥

Reminds me of one of my first encounters with a Crow after moving to Ireland. Walking down blarney street, when a full heel of a sliced pan gracefully descended in front of me. I look up and there’s a crow sitting on a wire, full head tilt on and looking down at me like he’s expecting a thank you 😂😂
