Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over Sam Altman argued it was "already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took" for coders to write software.

Why get mad at a lying sociopath like Scam Altman? AI is the excuse for the layoffs, not the cause.

Are AI agents actually slowing us down? As more software engineers use AI agents daily, there’s also more sloppy software, outages, quality issues, and even a slowdown in shipping velocity. What’s happening, and how do we solve it?

YES, they most certainly are. Getting slammed with 5-10 MRs per day of slop code from AI pilled non-engineers is a PITA.

Or maybe, just maybe, everyone else is pretty much full of shite. I'll believe the massive productivity gains when I see solid research studies that document said gains. So far, there is zero.

Guess how you came to be an "American", Stephen "little bitch" Miller? Your ancestors were on a boat, they were immigrants, they could become citizens by the process you denigrate. You are so filled with racist hate you deny your own ancestry.

Attacking Greenland is an attack on Denmark and triggers Article 5 of the NATO treaty, which obligates all member states to defend the state that was attacked. I really hope the Europeans will do it. I think they are sick of Trump, & I suspect they know most Americans would not support his attack.

Racist arsehole

Presidents get too much joy out of bombing brown people. And many in Congress get a thrill from it, too. Pathetic.

Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social !! May you have much success in 2026!! 🎉

We can't see the future, and we can't know how our creations will be used by soulless, greedy asshats. You're creations have done far, far, far more good than bad. Thanks, Rob, for everything you've done. (written by a human for humans)

Urinal trough is the technical term in English. But piss trough is a much better term!!

Liar, liar, pants on fire

Almost all senior engineers I know agree 100%

Get rid of Chuck, Senate Dems! There was no reason to cave in!!

Keep it up!

I taught school in a red state during Covid. Even the hybrid schedule we did was psychological torture for teachers, students, parents, staff, literally everyone but the politicians and admins who stayed in their offices and quit visiting schools. I wonder why they quit visiting?

We need real leadership, AOC. Please help rid the Dems in Congress of ineffective leaders like Schumer and.... (you know better than we do who the weak ones are).

NO YOU DID NOT CALL THEIR BLUFF!! YOU CAVED TO THEIR DEMANDS. You did this, Schumer, everyone knows you did. Sellout. Fool. Time for new leadership.

You failed the test of leadership today. You allowed or encouraged 8 Dems to betray the 20 million who will lose their healthcare. You are an utter failure. Resign.

The vote in December will either:
1. Not happen, or
2. Fail to get 60 votes.

You and the other 7 fools who voted yes got played.

Explain to the 20 million Americans who will lose health insurance why you caved in to Republican lies and sold them down the river.

Chuck the cuck: watching Americans getting f'd by Trump and Republicans must be fun for Chuck and the 8 traitorous Dem Senators. It must be nice to have no spine, no conscience, and no soul.

Best line from you convo:

Yudkowsky is "3 anxiety disorders in a trench coat".

Brilliant!

Truly one of my favorite interviews that Ed has done. You both were funny but also very poignant. Definitely buying your book!

There is one podcast I eagerly await: BetterOffline. Thanks, Ed. Keep being different!

As a Brown alum and father of a trans daughter, I find this deeply disturbing. But not surprising. After all, most universities care far more about the Benjamins than the learning. Sadly.

You and your colleagues are doing the right thing! I just made donation to you to help pay your fines for breaking quorum.

AI Will Replace Recruiters and Assistants in Six Months, Says CEO Behind ChatGPT Rival Perplexity's CEO lays out a near-future where entire white-collar roles are automated by a new generation of AI browsers, transforming a week's worth of work into a single prompt.

Nope. Wrong. AI isn't taking over the world. Nor most jobs.

It's a genocide

I'll have to dig back through your episodes to find them. Great perspectives.
