This is the single best piece I've read on "replacing coders with AI," it fully dispells the myth from the perspective of a software engineer and does so in a calm, reasonable way.

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

I think the most unbelievable part of the Batman mythology these days is that a billionaire would in any way use their immense wealth to help other people…

A "ready to play" linux distro that you can boot from a USB drive/SD card. It's pre loaded with a massive collection of emulators and a user friendly interface to play all classic games that you own. It is a free and open source software that turns your old machine into a gaming console

Thats not to say there haven't been growing pains. When a great steak comes out of the microwave I get really excited. But more than half the steaks that come out of the microwave get sent back by the customer. To solve this problem I now run ten microwaves in parallel cooking ten steaks. One out of the ten steaks will most likely be good. The number of microwaves has required me to upgrade my restaurant's electrical system and I now have a small nuclear reactor installed in the parking lot.

AI is the new microwave.

Awesome, but no Automan?

The Ukraine stats are a fantastic rebuttal

I literally had a conversation with one of the managers I work with where I asked him point blank: “if I brought you results that changed every time you looked at them, how would you feel about that?”

He said he wouldn’t trust them.

Then I asked him why he was trusting ChatGPT results.

The wealthy will just buy them and rent them, we need the state to step in

Yet our government and media remain

girl u know its true

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation. After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

This is an insane thing to write about game development. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/a...

Sure! I'll look into available reservations for Thai restaurants in Brooklyn at 7 PM on Monday, July 28, 2025. I'll search for options and let you know what I find. Worked for 6 minutes > I found an available reservation at Nourish Thai (637A Vanderbilt Ave, Prospect Heights) for Monday, July 28, 2025 at 7:00 PM for two people. According to the restaurant's OpenTable listing, the hours of operation on Mondays are 12 PM-4 PM and 5 PM-10 PM opentable.com , So a 7 PM booking fits well within their dinner service. OpenTable is currently showing a 7 PM time slot available for a two-person reservation on that date opentable.com . I've started the reservation on OpenTable and the booking form is open. To complete it, OpenTable requires a contact phone number or email address for confirmation. Could you please provide whichever you'd like to use and let me know if you want to receive marketing emails/text reminders? Once I have that information, I can finalize the booking for you.

> Test@edzitron.com {"actions": ["action":"click", "X":640,"y":539,"button": 1}, {"action": "type" "text":"Test@edzitron.com"}]} It looks like the reservation tool has been disabled before I could finalize the booking. However, the 7:00 PM slot on Monday, July 28, 2025, at Nourish Thai is still available on OpenTable here. You can complete the reservation in under a minute by: 1. Clicking the 7:00 PM time. 2. Entering your name and the email Test@edzitron.com. 3. Optionally adding a phone number and any special requests. Let me know if you'd like me to look for backup options or a different time!

If you're worried about ChatGPT taking your job, here is their "agent" spending 6 minutes to try and make a reservation at a Thai restaurant - literally any Thai restaurant in Brooklyn- only to completely break. Powerful AI is amazing. We live in the future

I was talking to a project manager who has devs working for her in various countries and and asked what she thought about the distribution of skill, and she suggested I read this book. As the saying goes, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast".
