Sam Altman isn't a liar. They are just hallucinations!

My favorite phrases so far in 2026:

"Play the Rivoli"

"Fist my bump"

A middle aged man realizes the Darth Vader is right behind him.

When you are talking shit about someone and they are right behind you.

the only way to prevent authoritarian takeover is mass non-cooperation and resistance.

Never, in the entire history of social movements, has a society gone from minimal participation to mass non-cooperation without stepping stones along the way.

Mass protests are good, even when they're imperfect.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

The bubble may burst, and a lot of companies may lose a lot of money, but the real productivity gains that have been kicking in over the last few months are real. AI isn't going anywhere.

I think it's unlikely. The amount of stories I've shipped and bugs I've fixed since Jan 1 is more than I did in the previous 4-5 months, and my velocity is increasing. Plus, the quality of my code is better, more test coverage, better accessibility, etc. This is a real transformation.

That combination of feeling like you have so little time, but that you could do so much incredible productive work during that time has its own weird pressure.

Being a software engineer these days is weird. It increasingly seems like I’ve got about 12 to 15 months before AI makes me obsolete. But also AI is going to help me ship more code in those 12 months than in the previous 20 years.

We are not ready for what’s already happening.

A bsky post by Rob Delaney with just two words: "sex gifs"

When you accidentally use "post" instead of search.

What does this do?

You no longer see the your google discovery feed filled with X posts.

And you are using verbatim mode on gooogle which:

- Does an exact keyword search, without AI results at the top.

- This also seems to eliminate search ads as well

Step 2: Use this specific link in Safari on your iPhone or iPad:

www.google.com/webhp?tbs=li:1

Step 3: Create a shortcut to your home screen by pressing the share button -> Add to home screen

You may have realized that the google search app on your phone or tablet is broken. The discovery feed is likely be filled with links to X. And when you do search for something, the top of the results has AI results.

Here is how you fix both.

Step 1: Delete the google app
