Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 22/09/2026One of the reasons our ancestors were happier than us is that they did not have to contend with terms like “attention economy.” 121
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Quote-posting this only to boost bluesky active user base number. 001
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Let’s give it to Penelope for choosing to weave instead of surrounding herself with cats. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I am posting both on bluesky and X. Here’s the problem: I don’t always know what to post where. Don’t want to cross-post at all. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 16/07/2026IMAX should fully fund Nolan’s next flick. For the marketing alone, if nothing else. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Just wanted to post that I am still very much rooting for bluesky to thrive at some point. 100
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Had to be found on X as well because the Pakistani community will never abandon it. 😖 Handle: @ahmad_86B 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I’m having to actively quantify hours spent away from screens and desk. Which is rectifying a problem of my own making. 🙈 010
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I simultaneously want to acknowledge the powerful uses of AI and don’t want to be labeled AI-pilled. Or any-pilled for that matter. 010
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Folding iPhones, Google Pixels and Samsung Galaxies will be awesome AI gadgets in your pocket. Say you are sitting in a cafe by yourself and a complex question comes to mind. You can unfold the phone to check data rich responses. If the question is simple enough, then no need to unfold even. 020
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Would have been nice if humans also received periodic “bug fixes and small improvements” updates. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 09/06/2026It has been an underwhelming season of big tech developer conferences, really. Which isn’t a complaint. I am interpreting it as less experimentation and more shipping of refined AI use cases. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Apple has great chips for local AI inference. They don’t have a good enough agentic AI software layer baked into their operating systems, though. Third-party tools have done good work running LLMs locally. This WWDC, I’d like to see efforts from Apple to make running inference locally much simpler. 010
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Ask me again in a few years and I would’ve likely started to take this technology for granted. At present, though, there are many moments when AI gives me a response and I’m like: amaze, amaze, amaze! 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Xbox is going to need a lot more exclusives than Gears if they want to fix their console business. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Internal metrics will suggest to AI companies that users crave validation. They will hardcode chatbots to flatter us for more user retention. We must also be told cold hard truths. As much as we like to avoid them. How willing will the money-makers be to do this by default? 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Lahore has infinite demand for cafes and restaurants. How else has this one sector never slowed down? No shade, though. At least the wheels of the economy are spinning at a labored pace. If nothing else. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I hope when I append “…be exhaustive” at the end of every prompt, data centers don’t start wasting more water. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 07/06/2026If Netflix only wants to make tv-films, that’s fine. Those also have a place. Then make them as such. Don’t hire someone to make a cinematic experience and not release in theaters. Mostly stick to 16:9 for 65” tv. Film score should be more suitable for home speakers than a grand theater. Etc. 100
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Life is simultaneously a bit boring and stress free if you are not into watching sports. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 06/06/2026First I have to learn what consciousness is. Then I will learn if AI is or can become conscious and sentient. 110
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 06/06/2026My theory is we in S.E Asia would be twice as productive as we already are if it was not for the f’in heat and humidity. And we already are the most productive people on earth. ✌️ 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 05/06/2026The rumors don’t feel exaggerated. Mass market VR seems to be well and truly dead. Maybe it will live on as an optional feature in AR smart glasses when technology matures. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I can’t say for sure if it is marketing fluff or if Anthropic truly means their advice for AI ecosystem to deliberately slow down progress. I am going to give them benefit of doubt and say it is genuine. 100
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 05/06/2026If EU mandate makes it so that all phones and laptops have user replaceable batteries, I will forgive them for cookie notices. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Both Backrooms and Obsession are on my watchlist. But are these films Weapons good? 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Climate change is causing sandstorms every other day in my neck of the woods. It’s like living in the cornfield farmhouse from Interstellar. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 04/06/2026How compatible will AI values be with different cultures? Will AI have some core value system and varying models to suit different users? How many “universal values” will be embodied as core values? What if the user disagrees with some of the core values? Will AGI form its own core value system? 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Even if most people won’t get to see The Odyssey in 70MM film theaters — as Christopher Nolan and Greek gods intended — it’s still worth it that this grand medium was chosen. In the times of 5 seconds vertical video clips spanning all attention, it is doubly important for large formats to exist. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Asking AI to critique my work and being flattered by its responses. Wbu? 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Both Wolverine and Laufey look amazing. Says a lot about how massive these game productions have become that such games only make it towards the end of console generation. Not to mention Laufey doesn’t even have a release date and Intergalactic didn’t even make an appearance. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Will be setting all the AI models I use to max extended thinking, and defaulting to the biggest one if I ever get filthy rich. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 01/06/2026Unified memory chips like M-Series and RTX Spark powerful enough in a few years to run today’s flagship mixture of expertise reasoning models offline is a good computing future. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Open WhatsApp the first thing every morning and clear all unsolicited forwards. This will never end. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Smart bird feeders is one of the best applications of computer vision for consumer products. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 22/05/2026If AI will be doing all work for us; we will have all our time available to us for making love. Think about it. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Every AI be like agent this and agent that. The OG agent: 100
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Periodic reminder to self: don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Wonder if the sentiment during the industrial revolution was exactly similar to the current sentiment towards gen AI revolution. 000
Ahmad @ahmad86b.bsky.social · 08/05/2026One would’ve expected to have learned some lessons with regard to cruise ships during covid. 010
