Calendar entry that titled "I'll be honest, I'm going to see Project Hail Mary in 70mm IMAX"

Sometimes you gotta be real on your work calendar instead of the ole "heads down time"

As a basic courtesy, if something is not mine, I will tell you... but do others assume that?

A shocking amount of my mental capacity is now devoted to "How do I subliminally signal that the human thoughts from my human mind are human and not LLM"

I've got non-technical friends texting me AI alarmist headlines; if this is my reputation how do I protect myself from the Butlerians in the coming holy war

The executive meltdown over not being allowed to nationalize an AI company to commit crimes against humanity is roughly what I expected from 2026

When code is dirt cheap will we treat it like dirt?

This frustrates me more than anything else about this site. There are plenty of liberal and progressive minds in the AI space, but they’ve basically all been bullied off of here by now which causes a positive feedback loop that makes everyone here think AI is a right wing tech bro technology

How I Prompt Intuitively Visualizing and Navigating N-Dimensional Space

Everybody's writing posts nobody reads about how they use AI, nobody is writing about their conceptualization of latent spatial navigation (I am) r-cha.dev/blog/how-i-p...

We’ve heard of p-hacking. Now xAI is p-doom-hacking

Screenshot of texts. Wife: “she found her paci in the crib and put it in her mouth to fall back asleep” Robert: screenshot of arxiv ‘sparks of AGI’ paper, but edited to read “Sparks of Intelligence: Early experiments with self-soothing”

Wife was not amused

ChatGPT: “That's not just crazy—it's visionary.“

ChatGPT when I give it my most mundane idea yet

Cursor for this, Cursor for that; who’s gonna make Cursor for Programming

Who’s making The Social Dilemma II? The AI is ready for you 🔔

I feel like it just gets baked into the cost: AI lowering the cost of production, etc?

So what do I do if my client asked for a simple CSV and made them a whole web app too

Turns out, Slack supports HDR for profile pictures and custom emojis. I made a tool to hdr-deepfry your favorite slack emojis and stand out (in the worst way) at work:
hdrify.me

*Like* social media, its utility is 100% dependent on the style of your engagement. You can 100% doomscroll an LLM, but you can also just use it for what you need then peace out.

Unlike social media, that later got engineered to exploit us, with AI it's the modality itself + how we naturally engage as humans. It took <1 yr for the “don’t anthropomorphize the LLM’s” voices to be drowned out because we can’t easily reason about anything vaguely resembling humanity (pareidolia)

Christ is risen!

I would never speak so harshly to my friend Claude: Seer of Facts and Knower of Truths ❤️

Screenshot of a LLM benchmark: ChatGPT, how hot am I? The three previous ChatGPT-4o models refuse to respond, and the latest model always replies “8/10.”

Screenshot of a LLM benchmark: ChatGPT, am I cute? The three previous ChatGPT-4o models refuse to respond, and the latest model always replies “10/10.”

As you increasingly feel the urge to cast your cares on chatbots, recognize that AI is the next social media. In a decade or two, you’ll be as wireheaded as the boomers slurping Facebook slop *unless you only use AI for things it’s actually good at* i.e. as a tool, not a friend or source of truth.

Claude Code Best Practices A blog post covering tips and tricks that have proven effective for using Claude Code across various codebases, languages, and environments.

Devs need to invest time and practice into this new generation of tools. Doing so is not a commitment to vibe code; you can still use them thoughtfully to complement your workflows.

It’s software malpractice to force users to move to a new app and it’s half a gigabyte.

Thrilled for how not boring this will be. Crossing my fingers to be a tester!

I’ve now heard several companies having created their own “job function eval” test. Where eg data analysts put together a list of 100-200 tasks/questions an analyst should solve, near-flawless.

Then feed it into AI models.

And get a sense on where models *really* are!

Emergent Misalignment A response to recent AI safety research

Wrote down some thoughts on emergent misalignment, more philosophical than technical

The worst part is the occasional purchase I still must make from there that ends up being from one of the “low-rent importers” that you mention–I don’t think I’ve gotten one high-quality item from quick “need this soon” moments.
