Vibe coding is the future. It's not a meme. Spent 3 hours this weekend rebuilding my professional website in Cursor with a language I don't know. Same website took me 3 months in R. And I vibe coded an openAI chatbot so you can "talk" to my website. What have others vibe coded?? kevinjmagnan.com

Now the most meta thing to do is ask ChatGPT to summarize this article for me in a male voice.
OpenAI, in partnership with MIT, releases its first study on how ChatGPT use affects emotional well-being, including differences in how men and women respond (Rhiannon Williams/MIT Technology Review)

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Hey #Google - I heard the calendar team is having problems keeping up with observances like #blackhistorymonth and #pridemonth. Figured I'd help you out. @mcuban.bsky.social you've been doing ad reads for #Google, what's your take on this?

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today.
It's the little things. Microdose hope.

Remember when we were arguing about the term "foundation models"? It feels like ages ago! With those base models culminating in DeepSeek v3 in Dec 2024, 2025 will likely be the year of LLM specialization!
Anyway, I will be writing about it more soon :).

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
