reddit post: "I caught my child using Al"

extremely depressing, just snuffing out wholesome and productive intellectual curiosity in a kid

It's just dishearting to see someone that spent so long researching facts and being known for that to fall victim of being a kid during the 90s and thus not realizing how terribly inaccurate this statement is. Be better adam

We were young then and we're old now. For instance, there are multiple episodes of The Office about middle aged office workers being resistant to technological improvements and retrainings, but when you watch them as a teenager or 20something you think they're just funny.

this is crazy lol. 8,000 likes and it’s just not true at all. the funny thing is, “this is like nothing you’ve seen before. this is unprecedented” is not fighting hype, it *is* the hype

I really like your stuff Adam and generally respect most of your takes - but you are wrong on this. You should take sometime to research how the Internet was talked about at the time through the lens of the language of the 90s. I am the same age as you - your memory is colored by your childhood

To the tech oligarchs. You WILL NOT win by trying to bury your hand in the sand and plugging your ears and going lalalalalal. Everyone at my company I work at uses it everyday, people are accomplishing things in weeks what uses to take months.
It is real - the switch happened in December 2025

Companies can fail during technological revolutions. In fact it's extremely common historically, so idk wtf people think they are proving by claiming that opejAI's business model was over strained?
The tech works and the long folks stay in a state of denalism the more your are ceding ground

You might have a different memory then me - but the Internet absolutely was talked about in an identical way at the time - just in the language of the times.

That's because you are either a newfriend or have faulty memory. In 1999 it was the *internet* undergoing what you are describing. People happy with their newspapers, CD players and cable TV going "what could the internet possibly offer me?" There was even the gender imbalance you're pointing at!

Cranky Russian.....lol feel that one in my bones 😂😂

I would have made it a lot further in math

being able to ask an infinitely patient LLM “what breaks this condition?” or “oh so this is a degenerate manifold example?” is a huge multiplier over having to go ask a cranky Russian professor who sighs and asks you to stop coming by office hours

did anyone notice that Haiku is 2 versions behind Opus?

Interesting project! Let me look at what you have so far and understand the codebase. Entered plan mode. I respond: I've literally nothing lil bro. That's up to you.

lil bro thinks we're working together on this one

I wouldn't be all that surprised to see more of this going into the future. If transformers have some cap on capabilities, I would expect to see models that specialize in one area get worse in others by necessity. If it takes huge huge huge transformers to get AGI, anything less must be specialized

The problem is we had three rounds of it that all sucked.

First blockchain/Web3. Then Metaverse. Then finally AI but we were all sick of the hype by the time AI rolled around.

this is a True Statement

I also pattern-matched LLMs to cryptoshit and the metaverse stuff until I finally sat down and actually used them and went, like, "ah. well then."

and this was like Sonnet 3/3.5, I was early but not that early

the turning point for me was opus 4-ish, feeding it the spec for custom DSLs that I had written parsers for but not published and seeing it do a pretty good job on entirely novel problems for which no examples existed on stack overflow

A lot of engineers are hesitant to jump in. And have a fear of not fully understanding everything that happens. Some were burned by earlier iterations and have written it off as not viable.
But the tide is shifting from what I am seeing at orgs.

Or detect tool usage and turn it into actions that integrate with actual systems? The harness is the bridge between streaming text and actual action?

How does a second model shell out to bash???

codex might be smarter in some cases, but claude is so much a better engineer it's not even close.

I have been using codex for review, but dabbled today in using it for design. it did not go well

Codex is more consistent, but I don't enjoy the collaborative part of codex. So I sometimes reach for codex for implementing Claude designs and/or reviewing Claude's code

A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired." •.. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions." ... Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

I accidentally started a green screen revolution... YouTube video by Corridor Crew

cool wholesome story unfolding right now in the vfx AI world: corridor crew trains a greenscreen keying model, it turns out it's actually good, open sources it, and in days a dense community mushrooms up to improve it and integrate it into every tool

Super hype about this win!

Congratulations to Péter Magyar and to Hungary

It's worth noting that most pro-AI folks are all for holding municipalities and states responsible for sustainable power and water planning, and that the cost for that planning should be passed to the operators proposing to make the data centers. This is a very normal and in fact preferred opinion.

I think there is a lot of room for engineers that understand this to make their own consulting firms, that quickly build out solutions for a company bespoke to their needs, and set them up with best practices.

skilltap — Homebrew taps for AI agent skills Install agent skills from any git host. Agent-agnostic, multi-source, secure.

Plugins do, but they are tied to the distributor
I can currently working on upgrading my skilltap.dev to support Claude / codex plugins + my own plugin package which will be skills + mcp + agents.
I mostly use this for my own problems. I need toprobably improve some ux here though
