This is what we in the biz call a St. Patrick's Day Surprise! 😲

Heh heh…I'm starting to see a NEW hype cycle emerge. This hype cycle is: walking back from the embrace of slop machines!
We're just at the early adopter phase now, but it's gathering momentum folks. Some big names—BIG I tell you!—are just now starting to make waves about this. You might want to get in on the ground floor before it's too late! You don't want to be…left behind.
Human skill, expert review, intentional accountability. *Mindblowing stuff.* This is the future folks. Totally.

Folks, the genie is out of the bottle!
…the genie being that slop-free software projects with a total ban on LLM-generated code is a significant & growing reality. 😏
Still believe the future is all agentic all the time? Sorry, that ship has sailed! 😂

ngl, I regret selling my black iPhone 5 back in the day. Still one of my favorite Apple devices of all time. It was so sleek, so light. It felt like magic in the hand. 😍
I do have a few other iPhones collected on display for nostalgia…none I love as much as the 5 though.

So, it looks like my local gas stations are now at prices fully $1/gal higher than just a month-ish ago. Even higher maybe.
This means to fill up my tank which is around 13 gallons, I'll be paying $13 more than I would have. $13 that might have otherwise gone to buying a few much needed food staples. Oh, and congratulations: those are more expensive now too! 🤪
Life under the Trump Regime is a giant steaming pile of horsedookie. 💩

I just can't get over how enjoyable it is to edit a podcast in @Ardour DAW. 🙌
It's not merely comparable to Apple Logic Pro…it's *better*. I've never been able to get a clean transition from the ending syllable of one clip to the beginning syllable of the next clip as *quickly* as this, making editing out mistakes super smooth.
I also saved a previous recording session as a "session template", allowing me to spin up new podcast audio setups with the push of a button.
I am LOVING this. 😍

I believe AI refusal is a thoroughly useful stance.
*Boycotts work.*
Anyone who tells you otherwise is either unintentionally or intentionally lying to you.

zomg I *just* realized:
LLMings 🤣
It was there the whole time!

Here's a riddle for you:
We can spend trillions of dollars to develop AGI which is just around the corner any day now…
…but we can't figure out how to put a wallet in people's web browsers so when they read a blog post, it kicks 10¢ over to the author?
If 100 people read a blog post of mine, I'd get $10. Which is $10 more than I currently get when 100 people read my blog post.
I'm being serious! Whatever happened to web microtransactions??! I've been waiting for two decades! 😭

In my bleaker moments, it really does scare me how wildly far our culture is from proper regulation to *protect people* against the abuses of LLM-based technology.
Yes, I'm using the A word. I find the idea of being forced to engage with genAI to be abusive.
You want me to *read generated text* or *watch generated video* and I don't have a “choice” in the matter (because it’s part of the some societal process like applying for a job or getting healthcare)? I consider that a form of harassment.

I have been listening to this episode, and if I were nodding along in real-time as much as my brain is vigorously agreeing with *everything* Gita is saying, my neck would snap. 😅
This, so much this! I'm not a tech cynic today because I hate tech. I'm a cynic *because I love tech!* That's why I *care* about not letting those greedy rich fucks destroy everything I've loved so much about this space over the past 35 years!

I took a look at the MacBook Neo at the Apple Store today.
Mmm, that lime green color is tasty! And I love the fact there's no notch! 🙌
Everything about this little computer is cute and fun. It's is absolutely going to be a Gen Z/Alpha hit.
I probably wouldn't buy it for a perhaps esoteric reason: I'm too attached to P3 wide color gamut! I looked at my own website and immediately missed the vibrant orange shade. 😢
Maybe a future revision of the Neo would be perfect for me…

I've been using a computer since I was a toddler, and I'm in my 40s.
Do I want to emotionally bond with a computer?
No.
Geebus, it's a tool! Not a being! 🤪
