I have a tie between these two who coincidentally appeared side by side in the original reply thread. songs in the key of life and Billy Joel’s greatest hits were the two records I remember playing most as early as I can remember anything. Oh and the Sesame Street vinyl.

In the past I had trouble organising a surface like this because the placement of stuff needed to make sense to me. like does it make sense for the measuring tape to be next to the label makers?? Once I let go of that and just knoll it becomes so easy

A frequent question asked by LLM coding skeptics is "If the LLM is writing the code and the tests how can you tell if the tests are doing anything?". Here's a real world example from my #KMP project using #OpenAI GPT-5.2 and #Junie inside @intellijidea.com A change broke a tested behaviour ...

Playing around with Veo to see if it can make ads for BenkoPhone with hilarious consequences. Here is the prompt, video in reply. AI will not take your job.

The scene opens on two families going to a child’s dance recital and before they go inside the mother from one family taps a button on her phone and says “hey yeah can you cover my calls and messages for the next couple of hours? I just have to go to my kids dance performance thanks” and hangs up and then the daughter from the other family turns to her father and says “can your mobile phone do that?” Then the URL BenkoPhone.com appears.

I saw that getting ChatGPT to do a caricature of you is a worrying viral trend, so I asked ChatGPT to do one for me. It said I need to upload a photo of myself, but I said just do one without it based on our history, and this is what I got. I'm not concerned that ChatGPT knows too much about me ...
