Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 22hI hold these two views simultaneously: 1. The combustion engine is useful technology 2. Car-centric cities are dysfunctional and, on balance, harmful to the people who live in them I hold essentially the same view about LLMs 042
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 04/10/2026no one is going to take your beloved AI models away from you, don’t be silly. the people who hold the power have not only decided that you have the right to use them, they have decided you _will_ use them. No need to be afraid of the anti-datacenter hippies. 000
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 04/10/2026It's 2026 and SBCL's repl still doesn't provide a functional line editor. 101
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 03/10/2026The software industry is currently paying millions of dollars in tokens, degrading its own workforce skills, making the bet those skills will no longer be necessary (or that engs. will keep them up sharp on their own time). That’s a huge bet. 100
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 03/10/2026wild how we moved from “don’t worry, good engineers will review the code that AI writes anyway” to “code does not matter, it is a compilation target” in a matter of weeks. 000
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 28/09/2026We’re now in the “writing code by hand considered harmful” stage of AI. 120
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 24/09/2026I’m sure there were fringe voices 100% opposed the combustion engine. But I also bet there were people who foresaw the US becoming dysfunctionally car-centric and were dismissed as luddites 000
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 20/09/2026At the end of the day, the question is: is there still value in humans expressing computation in unambiguous languages? 000

Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 18/09/2026Increasingly convinced that napkin notes are now the source and that specs are artifacts akin to lockfiles. Because why not. 000
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 15/09/2026One thing I am convinced of about AI is this: we’re reaping the benefits now, while the real collective costs are being deferred. 010
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 15/09/2026my conspiracy theory: AI progress is hitting asymptotic returns and the AI leaders calling for a “slowdown” is just the industry’s way of preemptively justifying why the next models will be only marginally better. 020

Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 03/09/2026A lot of current AI feels like "If we want a machine to cut paper, we first need to give an LLM-agent hands so it can use scissors" 020
Sergio @sergio.bsky.col.social · 03/09/2026Hot take: No, ATProto is not a good protocol for ai agents to share knowledge (and it'd be even worse as a protocol for them to coordinate!) because AI Agents would have radically different traffic patterns (unless artificially constrained). 100
