The outage was still live when the police arrived. The PR sat untouched all weekend. Someone else merged it Monday.

Twenty minutes later, his phone buzzed on the passenger seat: PR ready. He glanced down. He didn't see the light change back to red at the next intersection. He didn't see the woman on the crosswalk either.

i was recently asked to write a short story that illustrates the idea of agentic coding for the upper management. ---- It was 5 PM on a Friday. Checkout was throwing errors in prod. Chad sent the agent one line: "find out why and fix it." Closed his laptop, and left to pick up his kid.

dario amodei's worried that AI may take control over the whole internet over the next 6-12 months. i'm considering donating all my online accounts to AI right away. i will then go outside and hang out with my friends irl. just like in the old days.

so bill gates is afraid of ai now. no wonder. any ai coding agent can now write better viruses than bill. and probably rewrite windows from scratch in a week, without bugs.

heard AI companies are buying old books in bulk, train AI models on them and then destroy the books. so i've launched an online antique store that sells AI generated books. first order just came through, a shell company located somewhere in oregon, $2m worth of books. enjoy the slop.

haven't thought of that. maybe that's one use case for apple intelligence - to serve as a workaround for the newly introduced bugs in their software. when i was learning how to copy and paste text in windows 3.11, i never expected things to take this turn.

so about the bendingsp. acquisition of airtable, i figured out how this can play out. simple playbook. 1. raise some money 2. find a b2b saas company that raised more for a useless product 3. their product is now worthless because of claude code and the gang. so no one will even try to outbid BUT

reminds me of when i've opened linkedin the other day and saw my ex-boss post. it went something like "airtable is dead, i've just vibecoded my own version over a couple of months" with that in mind, how is it even worth $1.3B? it must be an acquihire play.

i've just spent 10 minutes trying to copy text from one apple note to another one. each time, it ends up copying some random garbage that's in neither of these notes. i had to type the text by hand. what the fuck.

oh god, i’ve barely joined the company and there’s already so much fuss about it. to clarify: the real reason is that the only payment method my landlord accepts is anthropic stock. so yes, i’m working for a paycheck. couldn’t care less about the “lets make a chatbot” vision.

tried the same at starbucks. told the barista i'd give her my "full undivided attention" during the transaction, no phone, direct eye contact, active listening, the whole premium package, in exchange for a venti instead of a grande. got called a creep. i think i can relate to zuck now.

so i started rationing my attention like money. wife asks "how was your day" - i said "relationships not budgeted for this week, circle back on monday" she circled back by booking a "solo retreat" that has now entered week four.

product idea: “linkedin-native ai girlfriend”. you add her to your professional network and she fills the void in the results of your outreach campaign. unlike a real person, she’s always up to jump on a quick call, and will never forget to respond to your pitch deck.
