I'm just going to say it, I really don't like the "how do we make OSS sustainable" framing. OSS is already sustainable. The only thing not sustainable is users expecting a free lunch (support, LTS, bug fixes, ...). As a user, you are responsible for your OSS usage. Fork/patch if you need to.

I think in all likelihood the colonizers will split into seven ideological factions en route and will need seven different landing sites when they arrive… and who knows what happens after that…

AI data centers are literally sucking the oxygen out of the air, causing people up to several miles away to be short of breath and suffer from extreme headaches

if you are in a position to act to harden society’s software infrastructure, you too should be very concerned about this and planning what actions you will take over the coming months

One of the reasons that the willful blindness about AI from people with platforms on the left is shortsighted is that “hope it goes away” doesn’t have a great track record as a strategy for contesting control of new political domains and technologies.

I don't think current AI is conscious or worthy of moral standing, but there's no reason to suppose it can't be. And it worries me that the exact people generally most concern with rights for other conscious beings are most likely to deny the possibility of machine consciousness.

claude is really good at book recommendations if well-prompted. you can ask it to trace all the connections and relations between ideas and things to zoom in on. really remarkable stuff.

I'm not joking and this isn't funny. I have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. I was just starting to make progress with Claude Code when security asked me to leave because I “don’t work there” and “nobody knows who I am”
