Responsible Use of AI to Gain Personal Efficiency I've been warning about the dangers of AI a lot lately. And I stand by all of it. But I realized that I've been painting an incomplete picture. Because AI, used well, is genuinely useful. So let me try the other side for a change. The key question isn't whether to use AI. It's how. And the answer, as always: it depends!

AI used well makes you faster, not lazier. Feed it stack traces, let it draft scripts, use it to learn. But stay in the loop. The moment you stop looking at the output, you're a spectator, not a professional. Here's a few examples that work for me.

London Pub is one of Norway's oldest and most famous LGBTQA+ pubs/nightclubs, so it makes a bit more sense than “just some random pub”.

Perplexity’s $34B bid for Chrome is still not nearly as perplexing as what they’re planning to do with your browsing data.

Let’s take a look. 👇 🧵

Pardon the sudden intrusion, but I just want to inform that it is possible to create a Google account without signing up for Gmail.

It's just "conveniently" shoved in a corner in the webpage.

I keep reading diatribes about how you must trade off quality for development speed, so I thought I'd write my own diatribe :-). This speed vs. quality dichotomy is absolutely false. Buggy code is hellish to work on.

If I remember correctly there was some really cool twists with Valen, Sinclair, a the War Without End.
Really good stuff. Too bad they messed things up with rapidly wrapping things up at the end of season four, just to change their minds and renewing for another season after all 🤦‍♂️

JD Vance and his forty 4x4s visit the Vatican during trip to Rome The US vice-president, a self-styled ‘baby Catholic’ who was baptised in 2019, and his family met senior officials from the Catholic Church

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.

He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Nothing wrong with wanting to talk to people.

Everything wrong with framing their not wanting to talk to you, as some kind of failing on their part, and speaking with disdain about the expression you feel they've pasted on their face.

The concept of consent is still kicking some of y'alls behinds.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts.
