AI superforecasters are coming. Within a few years, the average person will have the equivalent of a Nate Silver in their pocket, ready to predict whatever question they can think to ask it.

NEW POST I see AI and LLMs as bringing a mix of boons and banes, but one feeling dominates: not just are they pretending to be a person, but the kind of person I don't like. martinfowler.com/articles/202...

This made me realize that as a reader, I'd rather much consume the writer's notes or a rough outline than AI-generated prose with the prompt of "Convert these notes into a full post". Maybe that can become a thing.

What’s the problem w using LLMs to write stuff you want other people to read -emails, articles, posts- and why are people (like me!) so incredibly hostile that they will block you/mute you/block your domain, to never read anything from you again? Bryan spells it out. Read it:

Playing around with an idea: responsive code. The build script creates up to 5 versions of each code sample using Prettier, and a container query displays the right one. Brotli means the filesize overhead is very small. Live demo: jakearchibald.com/2026/css-cus...

this is about the huggingface thing, right? it's going to sting but over-anthropomorphization of chatbots responding to one another is going to keep happening until we accept the hard truth that "ability to post" is not itself indicative of human intelligence

It's notable how LLMs are a holistically rude technology. In their creation (scraping then attribution erasure in training). In their infrastructure needs (data centers and the RAM crisis). In their consumer use (slop and worse). people.kernel.org/monsieuricon...

I think every major company is looking at open weight AI models and realizing they can just bring them in house with an internal engineering team and cut out the frontier model companies to save money. They have more control and privacy. I really don't see frontier labs surviving this.

The marketing message that LLMs are magical genies is really frying brains here. LLM agents are just software! Built by people! The people who built software that does some hacking (even inadvertently) are responsible for the hacking!
