John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Bluesky is accused of being a kind of "lefty bubble". You know what? Good. Turns out being in a lefty bubble is pleasant and no less delusional than any other kind of online discourse on Twitter. 010
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My Bluesky discover feed is a pleasant place filled with artists sharing their lovely creations. My Twitter "For You" feed? It's a kind of mundane hell. No blood and gore and extreme human misery, but misery-inducing nonetheless. 110
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I'm still active on Twitter because it has more activity, but I'm beginning to see this as clearly a bad thing. It's all engagement farming. Bait. It's so ridiculously botted. Yeah, Bluesky is slower and boring by comparison, but what the fuck am I doing over there? 110
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Seeing as their engineers have become AI-augmented, I’m sure their unprecedented productivity means they’ll be fixing this any day now. … Any day now 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Ah, you’re all just jealous because the coastal time zones lack the mystery and sense of adventure mountain time seems to possess. Saying I’m on “eastern time” just doesn’t carry the same weight. 010

John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 04/04/2026I get it. Every animal wants to be free in Africa, even snow leopards and polar bears. Even I want to be free in Africa. I miss the rains down in Africa so fucking much. 010
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Seeing Dean W. Ball absolutely lose it on Twitter is interesting. Mind you, he was an AI advisor for the Trump administration. 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 24/02/2026I actually think we should expand the house of representatives so that every citizen is a representative. We'll fix the economy by giving everyone rep salaries and fix the healthcare crisis by getting their healthcare benefits too. I'm a political genius 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 24/02/2026I'm going to have such a fun time explaining to my bank why I'm withdrawing all my cash 010
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 12/02/2026If you're feeling kind of anxious about everyone saying insane shit about LLMs on Twitter or whatever, just try them out. Fork over $20 for the peace of mind to try them out yourself and see if these people are for real or fucking with you. And yeah, I think they're fucking with me. 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Ethical issues besides I actually do try and keep an objective opinion on LLM capabilities, and I would actually really like it if they could implement some of these ideas since I actually would like to see them implemented, I just don't have the time. But no, they're very bad at p5js 120
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 12/02/2026It's so weird seeing people lose their minds on Twitter over how capable the latest AI models are while I'm over here watching them fail, miserably, at some old creative coding ideas I've been sitting on for a while. 100
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 10/02/2026You need to be caffeinemaxxing. You need to buy land in Costa Rica so you can selectively bread coffee trees with higher caffeine content. You need to build an elaborate brewing apparatus to extract as much caffeine as possible. 110
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Should I ever bump into a Coca-Cola corporate employee I'm gonna ask them when we start the Boogaloo with the straightest face possible. 010
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 04/11/2025I hadn’t realized until now that AMD’s P/E ratio is an absolutely manic ~150. By contrast, while Nvidia is hardly a value stock, its P/E ratio is a more modest ~58. 170
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Oh wow! I did not see this graph. I had no idea native apps still had such a strong lead, not to mention that Flutter was doing better than React. I remember a while back almost working with it on a project, but that never quite came to fruition. 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 03/11/2025The dominance of React Native is an obvious reason why, but I feel like an overlooked partial cause is that the mobile app frenzy arguably peaked a long time ago. Bad enough on its own, but the decline in importance makes native performance less of an issue. 110
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Worth mentioning that Ilya’s deposition in the Musk v Altman trial dropped today, the evidence making it abundantly clear that Sam Altman was fired for lying and manipulating people, and not because of a “safety coup”. 010
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 24/10/2025I actually thought this was some form of satire because of how bad the video was. Like, there was no way this was meant shared sincerely. But nah, it came from known AI shill Matt Schumer. He was actually being sincere. Hate that guy so much and his sad fucking Twitter pfp. 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Also, no idea why I capitalized ice cream. I think I really like ice cream. 020
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Damn, if you lived in New Mexico I’d totally ask if you wanted to get Ice Cream. I’m always craving a dirt and worms sundae. 120
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Lol, “not even the Europeans”. One has to sink very low to make the Dutch take offense, as amoral as they are. 020
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 11/10/2025I was trying to remember why the name sounded familiar. Turns out it's because there's a minor character in a Rick & Morty episode called Shrimply Pibbles. His name reminds me of some Rick and Morty made-up alien bullshit. rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Shrimpl...rickandmorty.fandom.comShrimply PibblesShrimply Pibbles is the galaxy's most influential civil rights leader. He appears in Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate when Jerry's penis is needed to replace his failing heart. After Jerry even... 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Also, having discussed this with others they made some good points that this improvement probably isn't the result of gains in the model itself, but through sophisticated internal tools and scaffolding. Guard rails, in other words 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 30/09/2025When I first heard this I had so many questions. 11k lines of code is kind of relative in terms of size. I have a personal project that is larger than that, so it's kind of small. At the same time, you arguably don't need 11k lines to build a small Slack clone unless it's pretty feature rich. 100
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 12/09/2025I honestly think that's a substantial reason why so many people on Twitter seemed to think the Israelis did it. Imagine going through the trouble and effort of engraving something on a bullet and you settle for the most cliche shit possible 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 10/09/2025I have to admit that as someone who’s normally a skeptic seeing it deflect that missile seemed pretty compelling. 200
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 04/09/2025In a way they are. Most people live in such a way that their karmic reward/punishment is to be reincarnated into an armadillo. It is an unusually common fate. Texans are the exception. They’re forced to re-live their lives, but as an okay-ish sitcom. 020
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Had a dream that as part of an effort to colonize a distant planet me and my crewmates would have our minds uploaded to rabbits. Clever really. Rabbits don’t need large spaceships, and rabbits breed like…rabbits. 130
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 07/08/2025Allegedly the biggest improvements were in reducing the hallucination rate, but still, seeing this on the livestream was wild. 120
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 08/07/2025I feel like forming the Weeaboo Party. We’re a single-party focused on doing what needs to be done when someone says “weeaboo” 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Reminds me of some comment I read about how AI executive assistants are a popular topic for founders in part because when they first hire one they’re blown away by how much they streamline life. But most of us really don’t need an executive assistant, so we fail to “get it”. 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Ja, now your kinder can pretend to poopenfarten at das job site 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Honestly, I thought OpenAI was going to fail when Sam Altman got fired. Say what you will about his sleazyness, but he knows how to get investors to write checks. 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Just made the switch and did the import. Pretty impressed that all my favorite songs made it. Fuck Spotify. 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Or they're laying off employees so they can re-hire them as contractors 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 31/05/2025I feel like the ease of applying to job openings might be overlooked here. Any given job, especially entry level, may have hundreds of applicants, in part because of job application being automated. 120
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 30/05/2025Something a lot of people miss about Anthropic hype is that its valuation is roughly 43.5x its forward revenue. OpenAI by comparison merely has a valuation roughly 13.5x forward revenue. In other words, Anthropic is insanely overvalued and desperately needs investors to believe they hype. 010
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 19/05/2025After attending an advertising award show I became convinced that the target audience for “clever” ads was other advertising agencies. 010
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Besides that, if Duolingo is using AI for its material, then why bother with the middleman? Just use ChatGPT or whatever to teach yourself. At least with the latter you can come up with some hare-brained learning ideas. 081
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Lol, almost forgot about that. Kind of wish more tech parties were hazardous to one's health. 000
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 27/04/2025The fact that NFTs only store links is perhaps the most ridiculous part about them. Ownership of a really shitty monkey jpeg is ephemeral enough, it gets worse upon realizing that a link to the jpeg is in the NFT, not the jpeg itself 130
John Borden @bjorkbat.bsky.social · 21/04/2025I prefer to stick to the classics and call everyone a Hylic 000
