You aren't being serious if you're not talking about universal basic income as the main way of distributing the productivity benefits of automation. 4-day weeks and universal healthcare are needed to, but they don't make it so that EVERYONE benefits. Only UBI does that.
The Case for CLI Tools Over MCP Servers in Agentic AI
One developer shipped 31 open-source Rust CLI tools for AI agents and found they were 35x more token-efficient than MCP servers.

I think the most enlightening thing about AI is that it shows you how even the most mediocre text inspires some sort of emotion. Soulless LinkedIn slop makes you feel frustration with a person for their lack of authenticity, but you can still imagine how they forced it out of their heads. You still connect with them, even if it’s in a bad way. AI copy is dead. It is inert. The reason you can spot it is that it sounds hollow. I don’t care if a website says stuff on it because I typed in, just like I don’t care if it responds in a way that sounds human, because it all feels like nothing to me. I am not here to give a website respect, I will not be impressed by a website, nor will I grant a website any extra credit if it can’t do the right thing every time. The computer is meant to work for me. If the computer doesn’t do what I want, I change the kind of computer I use. LLMs will always hallucinate, their outputs are not trustworthy as a result, they cannot be deterministic, and any chance of any mistakes of any kind are unforgivable. I don’t care how the website made you feel: it’s a machine that doesn’t always work, and that’s not a very good machine. I feel nothing when I see an LLM’s output. Tell me thank you or whatever, I don’t care. You’re a website. Oh you can spit out code? Amazing. Still a website.
Truly useful technology isn’t described in oblique or hyperbolic terms. For example, last week, IBM’s Dave McCann described using a series of “AI agents” to Business Insider The agent — it's actually a collection of AI agents and assistants — scans McCann's calendar for client meetings and drafts a list of 10 things he needs to know for each one. The goal, McCann told Business Insider, was to free up time he and his staff spent preparing for the meetings. Sounds like a website to me. The agent reviews in-house data, what IBM and the client are doing in the market, external data, and account details — such as project status and services sold and purchased, McCann said. It can also identify industry trends and client needs by, for example, reviewing a firm's annual report and identifying a corresponding service IBM could provide. Sounds like a website using an LLM to summarize stuff to me. Why are we making all this effort to talk about what a website does? Digital Dave also saves McCann's team time, he said, because the three or four staffers who used to spend hours pulling together insights for the prep calls are now free to do other work. "It's not just about driving efficiencies, but it's really about transforming how work gets done," McCann said. My friend, this isn’t a “series of agents.” It’s an LLM that looks at stuff and spits out an answer. Chatbots have done this kind of thing forever. These aren’t “agents.” “Agents” makes it sound like there’s some sort of futuristic autonomous presence rather than a chatbot that’s looking at documents using technology that’s guaranteed to hallucinate incorrect information.
I’ll be honest, I don’t — and never have — found the joy that some people claim to find in LLMs, and believe they're being sold using a deceptive coordinated marketing campaign built on fear.
Claude is a website. I will never respect a website.

Jay Parikh’s insight: enterprise AI adoption is getting pushed from both sides. Developers use new tools in hobby projects, then want them at work too. That pressure could boost productivity and creativity across orgs. 🎧 Read/listen at https://youtube.com/shorts/GSWqm3ksWkI
Steve Yegge implies Google is doomed because they haven’t gone all in on Claude Code because they hate Anthropic and Gemini is bad at coding.
This is a great experiment. We get to see if companies adopting AI coding agents outperform one that sees it as a fad. Let’s see GOOG’s stock price in a year

So yeah. I can see where MAGA came from. I despise it, but I can see the pattern that lead here.
I would love to globally moonshot AI efficiency so we can design our way into an automation utopia as we use UBI to wean off of money entirely. Kill privilege. Kill patents.
But that's a longer story.

I'm at least versed in it so I'll give it a shot. "Do we have Canadian AI?": No, not really. There's a couple startups but most things that are using AI are using American or Chinese LLMs, including Canadian companies that are using them.
Startups waste time rebuilding things like auth.

i dont understand everyone using AI agents to automate Obsidian(the notes app)
like isn't the point that you're taking notes so you understand the ideas. So that you can figure stuff out. Why do you want the machine to do that for you. are you like, sad? They have pills for that you know
Wanted to reintroduce myself.
I run an MSP, build indie games, & spend a lot of time exploring automation, self-hosted tools, game dev, & other tech rabbit holes. Big sci-fi & gaming fan too. Love science.
Always happy to connect w founders, devs, creators, IT folks, and builders.

When prompted for how AI can help entrepreneurs, I had a student mention that AI helped his cousin pivot his small business ideas over twenty times. I'm sorry, but if AI is giving you 20 bad business ideas, maybe it's not the next-level business tool people think it is.
Cloudflare is rebuilding its Wrangler CLI to support all products, introducing a new TypeScript schema for consistent API generation. A technical preview is available, alongside Local Explorer for managing local development resources.
Agreed jobsite trades will probably hold out against automation for a while. And I think welding is a quicker startup certification than say electrical. I wonder if an effective reskill for some tech workers could be trades inspections rather than the actual trades
