JD @jd503.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Let us know what you find, I have a pile of busted epubs I’d love to clean up. 110
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Sorry, what? Most anti-AI leftists I know aren’t touching it with a ten-foot pool. Who is forming their opinions on AI because it wasn’t woke enough in a factually incorrect way? The quoted post has research backing it up, this sounds like we’re just slipping in some left bashing based on vibes 160
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Related: so many people don’t know how to walk in mud without sending AOE splash damage in a 5ft radius 010
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Shout out to the guy at ACL fest who whipped out a paperback in the rain while jamming to Rebecca Black 100
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Some of us came with bad memories out of the box, it’s about time the rest of y’all caught up 000
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 02/10/2026“What is does for them” is what I said that was conveniently left out of the clapback. I’ve seen excel used to run entire low code platforms for businesses, function as a bad database, create presentations, and even run the odd video game. So no, in the real world there’s not really a consensus 040
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Replace Excel with “spreadsheets” then. Not that it matters when Excel is most of the market, but pedantry doesn’t break the analogy. 170
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 02/10/2026What are you even asking then? My point is that people and orgs use Excel in wildly different ways, just like LLMs. 170
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Well sure, you wouldn’t get a consensus asking people what Excel does for them either because people use it for different things 2100
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So what’d everyone move to? I’m trying to avoid bringing big cloud work home with me, but these PaaS joints seem to caught up with their own Conway’d web consoles and convoluted consumption costs so what’s a boy to do 120
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Thanks for the reminder, just killed my droplet. They probably could’ve collected another 5-6 months of ADHD tax from me before I finally started the project it was intended for. 050
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Our society is built on a mountain of outsourced and exploited skills that we’ve “surrendered” Younger me fully believed that most people had butchered at least one animal by adulthood, where’s my MIT preprint? 000
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Fine, but you two might regret being a major influence on me moving into product when I’m done 010

JD @jd503.bsky.social · 30/09/2026So far my answer is building a very convoluted evaluation tool, ask me in a month 😅 110

JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It’s less about locking yourself into features than letting the features lock you in to the model/vendor 100
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Use OpenAI, hunt for other subs like Opencode Go, or be really cool and start learning how to optimize for smaller models It’s not ideal that we’re so detached from the cost of heating those GPUs thanks to subsidies, but nobody’s ready for that conversation (myself included) 120
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026RE: claude code, yeah your harness choice matters a ton. Especially one as bloated as CC. Even if you’re eschewing all of the features, configs, and memory, you’re not really starting any project from scratch 370
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I wrote that poorly, I meant providers that allow you to use your subscriptions easily in your own harnesses and tools. OpenAI allows you to do this, Anthropic might ban your account if you try. 240
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Using inference providers that allow you to use them as dumb pipes is also an option, such as OpenAI As long as you don’t let them rope you in with walled garden features or APIs 120
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Have you considered that you were actually doing an Orwellian rewrite of history to satisfy Silicon Valley’s radical leftist culture? I was just reminded that he invoked Angela Davis to castigate Google over this 080
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I finally canceled after his dozenth mention of that Gemini image thing, the one time a tech company tried to be woke in a stupid way is his personal 9/11 Even his Davos adventures were less comparatively out of touch 1603
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I’m gonna get so much mileage out of this bad boy bsky.app/profile/jd50... 070
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The real cognitive deskilling is actually the friends they made along the way 020
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Very lazy prompting or cheap models? I feel the same, but most of my agents are interacting with text I’ve already written or influenced so it’s hard to know what people get out of the box. 020
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Just canceled my sub and left this as the reason. I was dipping my toes back in, but I ain’t putting up with all that 1232
JD @jd503.bsky.social · 28/09/2026They block light and refrigeration airflow so you really get to double down on fucking this whole thing up 010

JD @jd503.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It helped me to slow way down and not expect to thinkspeak at conversation speed. I also like a small transcription cleanup agent to untangle brain dumps. 030
