One side effect of all the AI talk is that I’m now spending much less time online. It’s just less fun now

language model programs have no conscious intent or ethical understanding and they never will. you can program them to say they do, but they fundamentally cannot

AI companies: We’ve invented an unreliable guessing machine which sometimes doesn’t follow instructions. If you give it access to important systems it could kill us all. Also AI companies: Deploy this technology everywhere and replace your employees with it, otherwise China wins. IPO next month.

these are not “autonomous” attacks: they are failures by humans to implement appropriate controls for the computers acting on their behalf, and we must not forget it.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

1) Why are you still pretending this thing is a person what is wrong with you are you damaged 2) When a program clearly malfunctions to the point even Piers Morgan is scoring points on it live on television, it says a lot when the people behind the program can't or won't acknowledge it fucked up.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Going from claiming your company is working on technology that might destroy humanity to leaking you’re on track to generate $100 billion in sales this year, just in time for the IPO. Makes it hard to defend the claims that this hasn’t all been a cynical form of marketing and regulatory capture.

I’ve been avoiding getting into making my own coffee water because I thought it didn’t change anything. Roaster sent me a gift pack of sachets, and oh boy was I wrong 🙄 Guess it’s now an added expense for me

Suddenly, 100% of the code needs to be written by AI, + you need to review and own the code + you can't spend the time reviewing the code because that would eat all the time you saved by having the AI build it jorgevergara.co/blog/ai-copi...

Before you say positive things about DHH because of Omarchy, a reminder that it's been like 3 weeks since he published a blog that compares Roma people to the wolves Denmark eradicated in the 1800s. He's an open, virulent racist and always has been. Everything he touches should be radioactive.

Jerry Falade and Jason Arday are two sides of the same coin: a Black person can’t be this smart, so it must be plagiarism/AI/pick-your-poison. AI will make this worse. Every Black intellectual achievement can be dismissed as Claude/ChatGPT with no evidence while the accused suffers the damage.

I just learned that Google Play needs the 14 days of beta testing with at least 12 users for EVERY SINGLE app and not just my first app :( It used to be Apple was the pain in the ass to deploy to, and now all my apps live in the App Store and can't even make it into Google Play hehehe

Also, for a “rushing to save the world game” it’s amazing how much side quest content it has. I haven’t touched the main quest in 2 days, and I’m just clearing rebel camps, finding mounts, and upgrading equipment.

Jorge Vergara @jorgevergara.co · 16/08/2026

By the way, looks cool and it’s my default mount, but what a let down in terms of speed. Bristlebacks are faster ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You trade speed for attack power which is cool if you fight while mounted, but I spec Aloy as infiltrator and like exploring so…
