Someone showed me a job posting on LinkedIn today that was a posted by Haystack, who was reposting a job from Dice, who was reposting a job from the hiring firm. I defy you to explain to me what possible value Haystack, Dice, or any of their competitors are adding to this process.

There's a mini neo-noir unfolding in my voicemails: "Mr. Lebrand?" "That's me. How can I help you, Miss…?" "Israel," she said as she handed me a business card. "Machines Israel." I looked down at the card. "Machines Israel. Office of Honey Servicing." Now I knew I was in trouble.
Screenshot of an automated voicemail transcript labeled “Transcript (low confidence).” The visible text reads: “Message is for Maximilian Lebrand. Machines Israel. I’m from the office of honey servicing. It”

Our journalist has gone rogue and described a tech company setting up a computer to do whatever an LLM tells it to, lowering their security restrictions on it, and repeatedly prompting it to take action as "an AI going rogue."

Live footage of bros and simps reacting to people sharing the 'Musk' documentary trailer trailer on social media.
Meme using a scene from The Simpsons. A frantic character, Apu, is labeled “WEIRD NERDS.” He dives across a store counter in front of a man labeled “ELON MUSK,” at whom a handgun labeled “VALID CRITICISM” is pointed. The composition suggests the “weird nerds” are inserting themselves between Musk and criticism directed at him.

If you use LLMs, if you feel like you have gotten real value out of the developments in this AI boom, then I'm curious: When you pay hundreds of dollars more for your phone or computer, do you think of it as a fair price to pay for all of the ways AI is making your life better?

Sorry, Scott. I'm not sending you $25. But I will show you one of the coolest features in Apple's Messages app.
Screenshot of the iPhone Messages app in dark mode showing an SMS from +1 (267) 308-4544, received today at 6:40 PM. The message reads: “Scott Presler: I’m asking for $25 to sponsor a voter registration activist for 1hr. No gimmicks, just real action:” followed by a 26vote.com link.

A confirmation dialog overlays the conversation, saying that the conversation can be reported as spam to AT&T and Apple from your phone number. It offers two buttons: “Delete and Stop” and, in red, “Delete and Report Spam.”

I have a strong opinion about which of the two cuts of the film 'The Secret' is better (the original from 2006, with Esther Hicks' narration), but I have an even stronger opinion about whether or not anybody should watch 'The Secret.' Which is a flat "No."

Currently having that always odd experience of listening to new-to-me music from an era and genre I'm familiar with, musically, but that is completely, utterly new to me. Surreal. Like an artifact from a parallel 1990. (Which I guess it is, in a way.)

I call that one the @snell.zone argument. (And I believe it.)
Screenshot of a 9to5Mac-style article page in dark mode. The headline reads, “John Ternus just gave the best defense yet for Vision Pro,” by Ryan Christoffel, dated Sep. 21, 2026 at 8:41 a.m. PT, with 15 comments. Below is a large photo of a man in a dark red sweater speaking in front of a wide window overlooking trees and hills. The opening text says Apple’s new CEO recently gave an in-depth interview with French outlet Clique TV and defended Apple Vision Pro, followed by the subheading, “John Ternus compares Vision Pro to the earliest days of personal computers.”

"I can easily tell this is written by AI because of the use of em dashes, contrasting 'It's not this, it's that' statements, and repetitive three-item-list sentence structures." Yes, I'm sure these are not something AI learned by being trained on billions of examples of human writers.
