“If you weren’t following AI talking heads on social media, you’d know AI was tanking.”

Saw this on LinkedIn. My question is:

What model did you use? What plan? What was your prompt?

Because I have seen incredible work by partnering with AI agents - not perfect, but effective.

There has to be a maximum number of “followers” one can have before it’s diminishing returns.

Millions of followers? You’re no longer having a conversation. You’re a brand and you push out messages.

If you’re not a “brand” - what would the # be to adequately force people to limit their follows?

Interesting. I am using Apple’s Universal Control between an m1/m2 MacBook Pro.
Sometimes, it loses connection.

But if I look at “Displays” - it’ll reconnect in a second.

It’s a weird glitch but I don’t see where I can give feedback @Apple@x-activitypub-bridge.deno.dev

I have 20 years of experience. I have been responsible for saving millions of dollars in IT expenses, and implemented features that made companies millions.

But “they decided to not move forward” - I guess you want to gamble with someone cheaper. Don’t reach out to me if you’re going to pullback.

I think online automated rejections of an application are bullshit.

I applied for a job - and I got a “we decided not to move forward” email.

Nothing like a production incident at 7am to wake you up.

My biggest modern tech irritation:

We moved away from “one app to chat with anyone everywhere” to “everyone has their own custom messaging service, app, UI, UX”

The web “giants” put up walls once they got everyone in.

I want to make something to break out of the walls.

The President turning the military against Americans is a bigger story than the shutdown and media outlets should treat it accordingly.

A screenshot of an X post by Sheldon Whitehouse (@..., 8h ago) featuring a photo of a man in a blue shirt. The post reads: "'Health care for illegal aliens' is the new 'immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield.' The Republican playbook is simple: make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crises you created."

We’re going to need everyone to learn how to spot a GOP lie. First sign: They’re talking.

Let’s open our eyes. This isn’t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.

It was NEVER EVER about criminals! It was about causing as much SUFFERING for EVERYONE as possible!

EVEN THE GOOD OLD, trump LOVING, MAGA MANIACS!

GROCERY PRICES NEVER WENT DOWN, HEALTHCARE IS BEING RIPPED AWAY, THE ARMY IS TOLD TO ATTACK AMERICA, FARMERS ARE BROKE, AND JOBS ARE GOING AWAY!

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Seriously—in any other administration the President telling the SecDef (sorry, "SecWar") that American cities should be used as "training grounds" for the military would kick of impeachment proceedings that same day.

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

Of all the little dumb things I do - I love that the “Presidents are temporary, Wu-Tang is forever” sign out front always gets a smile (and a shout out/👐🏻)

So simple. And it brings joy. 😆

When you realize your coworker is just using AI for everything (and poorly) their “PR comments” are more irritating than anything. A lot of hypotheticals that are irrelevant to the actual code changed.

Im not surprised comedians are selling out for the comedy fest - but it highlights how out of touch they are and have been with the people they’ve performed for. They’ve gone from relatable to being the kind of people they used to make fun of.

I feel like Marvel’s What If…? Series should’ve just admitted it was more like the Marvel Zombies series (interconnected story).

A real “What If…?” series should focus on independent stories - I think it’d give it more weight/excitement.

I think I’m going to curb my social media use, and drop it down to returning to RSS feeds.

It’s fucking EMBARRASSING if someone hits you with a sandwich and you think they deserve a felony for it.

If you’re so tough, you should be highlighting how that little act didn’t affect you, not crying softly because your feelings were hurt for being a terrible person.

Give him time. Eventually he’ll have a 1000% approval - the best ever! One million billion is percent!

New York Times obtains photographs showing surveillance cameras inside Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan townhouse.

You know what that means.

Social media should have a “smart attribution” system - so when people erase the author’s name to slap their shitty meme account name, they can swap it out with the original, or at least link to it.

One of the many frustrations of the modern day internet - they’ve gone walled garden.

It should be easy to make an app that would check your liked posts on a service, and build you a music playlist on the provider of your choice.

But they all want to make sure that is not allowed, easy, or cheap

It’s amazing with how big #AT&T is that I can still find spots where they have next to no coverage.

It’s funny that the #reddit app will throw up the “are you enjoying the app?” while it throws error after error. Can’t load, or can’t comment, or some other random issue.
