Quite belatedly reading Anil Dash's essay on the open web from March. I think the solutions seem inadequate (not a criticism), but the problems are really well stated. www.anildash.com/2026/03/27/e...

There is a conversation that happens over & over w/ #genAI content: Person: Look at this amazing thing I made with #AI! Expert person: It is not actually good. [why.] We are in a phase with the tech where it is mainly demonstrating how far apart we are in perception. But that lens is interesting.

Latest note from @garymarcus.bsky.social on OpenAI's misconduct is (as usual) worth a read. I greatly look forward to the time when we can just stop paying attention to anything sama says. Until then, we have Gary's notes.

The way the overall debacle of LLM rollout has happened must be some corollary of "you ship your org chart". Products echo people. An LLM has only the context you give it. Big tech increasingly fails to understand its own context in the world. Only slow understanding can change it.

One of the odd things about having gone into education and tech (games that sort of slid into tech) is how often I've had students seek me out specifically because of this. Smart enough to want wide options. Game dev skill is way more transferable than we often think.

I know it's trite to say Spirit Crossing is "inspired by studio ghibli" at this point but @danctheduck.bsky.social has been a strong advocate for "cozy contrast"; in order to feel warmth and safety, the cold, damp and scary must exist to ground it. #spiritcrossing #indiegames

A screenshot from Spirit Crossing: A pastoral mountaintop landscape with layers of trees and cliffs. A tall beacon sits perched above a mesa with a glowing cyan light, as a person in the foreground wearing a modern outfit looks on.

The same character in a foggy storm, surrounded by glowing eyes, face to face with a very large bunny demon lady wielding a large cleaver, with what looks like a glowing turnip in her giant knapsack. In the background, a many-toothed monster lurks in the fog.

Still have reservations about genAI images, but interesting stuff is happening with avatar applications. Awhile ago I wanted to study use of this for self image as self actualization for, for example, at-risk youth. Much to be done. www.facebook.com/derekmio/pos...

Bums me out a little that I think there's not much tech discourse on bsky -- but what there is seems quite high quality at a glance. Anyway, I think most folks seem to be missing the point of what Yegge is saying. AI adoption rate isn't really the interesting part. The suffocation of the valley is.

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows:

"In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.

When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

Quite impressive that Claude can do this so smoothly. Many kinds of thinking in one task. (Final result first, first request next followed by iterations.)

A screenshot of an exchange on claude.ai. The user has requested revisions to an image. Claude has responded with a web code mockup of a black mat board with holes for images labeled A through I. Each hole is a slightly different pastel color and is also labeled with its dimensions.

Timothee Chalamet thing keeps going; I think part of the reason is it touches on something fundamentally broken in our discourse -- 'who counts', confusing blockbuster status with success and engagement. The US ballet community pencils to 10 million people conservatively, yet this is "no one". 1/
