Too many people are talking about how much AI can do and not enough people are talking about how crazy it is how much of our time can be effectively reduced to next token prediction with fancy math. #ai

I’m kind of curious how this goes. Have your testing scenarios had any surprises?

I asked Claude if it had heard about the "mechahitler" controversy from xAI. It starts by saying it hasn't and then does a web search for information about it. Then follows up with "Well, this is quite a story."

The core problem here is there are services that need to programmatically retrieve a visualization and drop it into a report / presentation / email / etc. If you use Metabase as your BI tool, that's kind of hard to do today. Metashot solves that problem for you.

Please let me know what you think!

GitHub - farmdawgnation/metashot: Generate PNG images from Metabase embed URLs and upload to S3-compatible storage Generate PNG images from Metabase embed URLs and upload to S3-compatible storage - farmdawgnation/metashot

Inspired by a few of @kvlly.com's recent projects I use some AI tooling to solve a problem in a weekend that I otherwise would not have had time to solve: programatic API for pulling images from Metabase visualizations.

World, meet Metashot: github.com/farmdawgnati...

I wonder if we will ever honestly reflect upon this period of our history.

Our prior performance in this regard does not create optimism.

Agreeeeee. But they’re really hard to sell right now for that same reason and unfortunately the most folks can’t just float a second car note. :/

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

I understand the narrative around losing to someone using AI, but that's not the game I want to play.

I'm working to be me; there is no competition.

Most of my favorite artists right now are lesser known folks I found on tik tok. This has presented a similar problem.

You can _just do things_.

You don’t have to wait to be told what to do. Most of the time, you don’t even need to ask permission.
