why does everybody that gets really into ChatGPT or Claude or whatever immediately start talking like that one friend that went to Burning Man one time

How we ended up where we are today: 0: A bunch of proto-tech-bros read Cryptonomicon. 1: A bunch of proto-tech-bros make millions based on being in the right place at the right time, convince themselves themselves of their inherent superiority. 2. Tech-bros decide that society doesn't deserve them.

Funny how much I miss phone catalogs. I used to be able to simply look up an unbiased listing of all plumbers in my area. Now the only search method is SEOd beyond usability, and the only way to find someone is word-of-mouth.

I went into parenting thinking about my own childhood and swore to be the best parent ever. Wakeup call when it turns out that my kids are actually not little clones of myself, and have their own sets challenges and experiences entirely separate from my own. It was a good lesson in humility.

A screenshot of a text conversation. Delivery driver is confronted by a trash panda by the front door. House owner says that his name is Gary and simply to avoid eye contact. Deliver driver is further confounded by the butter knife the racoon is robbing him with.

Imagine being one of those CEOs who laid off thousands over “AI efficiency” only for the AI to get dumber than a pile of bricks weeks later. Given how tokens work, you’re paying more for a worse product. It now takes 5 minutes to be wrong which took 30 seconds for a right answer a few weeks ago.

After announcing a new policy document and intention of going on with Merkle Tree certs, Chrome's Root Program now declines to even hold a presentation at the coming CA/Browser Forum F2F. Wow. Well, that's a statement of intent if anything.
