Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Appreciate this pushback from Jensen www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o... 000

Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 02/09/2026It's been a long time since I worked at an ad agency, but what does this mean 050
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I dislike the way these stories are told. The model is heavily anthropomorphized while the people training the model are minimized or never mentioned. 111
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 29/07/2026On Monday I'll be chatting about prompt debt, context fails and fixes, DSPy, evolving engineering practices, and more with Tim O'Reilly. www.oreilly.com/live/live-wi... 020
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Not enough talk about how we’ve passed a peak dude 020
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 16/06/2026This validates something I've long suspected: less adept users of Claude Code will hit their limits MUCH faster than skilled engineers. www.anthropic.com/research/cla... 2191
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Wired's kicker on their story about the UFO releases is the thing to keep in mind. This is a good reason why they wouldn't hide things; and a better reason why they'd stir shit up: www.wired.com/story/pentag... 010
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 30/04/2026The fact that residential restrictions are being presented as way to address the crisis is insane. www.wired.com/story/the-su... 000
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 27/03/2026I don't think I've ever felt more like the meme of the sweaty dude agonizing over what button to press. 1212
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 06/03/2026llms.txt is a failed standard. Supply-side standards (like Do Not Track) don't work; creating demand is the only lever connected to anything. dri.es/markdown-llm... 120
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 03/02/2026If you're doing applied AI research (especially system design, benchmarks, evals, efficiency, or ops) you should be submitting to the Conference on AI and Agentic Systems... caisconf.org/pages/cfp/ 020
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Anthropic comms is crazy. “Here’s a 38-page essay about the existential threat of AI and how underprepared we are.” *30 min later* “Also you can now connect your B2B SaaS apps to Claude.” 020
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 23/01/2026I wanted to download a file from a Claude Code Web instance, not commit it to Github. I don't know if you've tried this, but the first working solution it arrived at was outputting a gz file as base64 then asking me to paste it into a txt file. 110
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 16/01/2026It is amazing how poorly labeled and undersold that chart is given the importance of what it conveys. The gap between the two lines is the value of a human in the loop. www.anthropic.com/research/ant... 020
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Terence Tao's takes on how AI helps mathematicians resonate the most with my feeling about coding agents as well. 000
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 07/01/2026I am simultaneously awed by the inventive, perfect UI...while instinctually recoiling a the notion of dial-a-nostalgia creation. 000
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Can someone at @popsci.com let us know how much traffic they get sent thanks to Apple continually linking to this article in Weather? 100

Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Here's a fun OSM task you can do: add the location of Flock cameras. One mapper in our neighborhood has been on a roll: www.openstreetmap.org/node/1333152... 110
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 01/09/2025KPop Demon Hunters’ success is a strong argument against the other two headlines. 141

Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 06/08/2025GPT-OSS 120B is the 3rd ranked open model by Artificial Analysis's Index, behind Qwen3 235B 2507 and DeepSeek R1 0528. But that's only half the story: GPT-OSS 120B is 4 times as fast as Qwen3 and 10 times faster than DeepSeek. And look at the 20B model, all alone! 030
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 06/08/2025They reported it themselves. It's in the PDF. Just wire it up to search for retrieval tasks. 120
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 03/08/2025It's hilarious that OpenAI has to tell the ChatGPT model FIVE times to not say anything after an image is returned. 130
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 01/08/2025This is an absolutely wild trend for a movie dumped on streaming: 000
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 28/07/2025Sure, agree with that. But when it comes to birthrates, the bulk of the story is that teen pregnancy has plummeted for decades. It's just the people wringing their hands about birthrates aren't (yet) comfortable saying we gotta go back to teen pregnancies. 010
Drew Breunig @dbreunig.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Some great NIMBY content at the Transamerican time capsule display. 030
