Asking the important question 😊

I be started working in the 1990s . There were definitely some good times but we also lived through stock market crashes and mass layoffs. You have to remain optimistic but still spend on the present

I feel glad that I canceled my Stratechery subscription last year. I used to enjoy his takes but he has become an insufferable AI booster

The comments section of CalculatedRisk was my go to place during the 2005-2010 period. It was especially great when Tanta was contributing

The very fact that they are considered equivalent tells you that models are becoming a commodity. Cost of inference and reach are becoming more important. Google+ Apple will be ascendant

Not a surprise at all. AI (in the form of LLMs) is being crammed down on to the workforce from the top management. Expect the pushback to grow

The latest episode of Animal Spirits was really pretty bad. You both have the shallowest possible take on the AI bubble.

Example: I spent a month reading about the history, politics and geography of Thailand to create my own itinerary for our vacation there. Read several books. Discovered many fascinating facts along the way. If something really matters to me, this is just much more valuable for me

There’s a difference between researching a subject yourself and getting a research report done by someone else or an LLM. I like the process of studying a subject and determining which sources are reliable for myself. It helps that I’m retired and don’t have any need to hurry the process.

After a long gap, another layout update. Just finished the roads on the far end of the layout in the industrial area. Now to get on with adding textures #modeltrains

Some notes on the insecurity baked into Perplexity's Comet "AI Browser" - the Brave security team reported serious prompt injection vulnerabilities in it, but Brave themselves are developing a similar feature that looks doomed to have similar problems simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/25/...

Agentic Browser Security: Indirect Prompt Injection in Perplexity Comet

The security team from Brave took a look at Comet, the LLM-powered "agentic browser" extension from Perplexity, and unsurprisingly found security holes you can drive a truck through. The vulnerability...

14/16 The important point here is that when an economy invests $100 of resources in a project that creates more than $100 in economic value, it becomes richer. If the project creates less than $100 in economic value, it becomes poorer.

My concern is security more than privacy. I think it’s dangerous to allow an LLM to control code that has one’s credentials. Very far away from trusting an agent to do anything significant

Great article! Since I’ve spent so much time in midtown, I could recognize most of those pics. I had no idea how they looked before redevelopment. There is also a lot of construction on the west side of the Georgia Tech campus

I’ve noticed a huge amount of medium density housing coming up in Atlanta in the past four years. Daughter went to Georgia Tech so I’ve been visiting the city every year. I’ve noticed a lot of new construction on every visit
