Over the years, we've cut speaker flight travel from 75% to 50% by booking sustainable alternatives. In 2025, 57% of our participants used train or local transportation (compared to 35% before). We also support sustainable projects. Continue reading: buff.ly/Gql24xG and join the conference.

applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

I quit Twitter before it was cool. I walked away from 3.2M followers, and absolutely nothing changed in my life, other than fewer garbage people disrupting my peace. There was little value then, and there is even less, now. Staying on Twitter is a moral and ethical failing, disguised as business.

Just a reminder that Orwell’s protagonist in 1984, Winston Groom, works as a copy editor, except that his job entails endlessly “correcting the data” so that the archival record conforms to the Party’s preferred fictions, and what is “known” becomes a principal instrument of conformity.

There's this super cool thing tech companies use to decide what products to build. They ask people "would you use this?" and then use synthesis techniques to interpret the answer as "yes" no matter what it actually was. This is called "validation" and you can make six figures doing it for a living.

I've heard a version of this from a number of folks, so it seems worth pulling out: Going all-remote with a core group of folks who got their start working in an office together is MATERIALLY DIFFERENT. It is WAY EASIER than trying to form & storm & norm with an all-remote team, from scratch.

I've literally had AI boosters tell me "AI is not biased, you're just bad at prompting" because they don't actually understand how bias works or how an LLM is productized outside of a chatbot. The scariest thing about this tech isn't when you talk to it. It's when you don't see it at all.

Would we know if we already reached artificial general intelligence (AGI). If I was an AGI I'm not sure I would be doing a lot different. We're spending huge amounts on infrastructure and improvements basically what AGI would want. And in the meantime it's domesticating us via some "fun" tools. 🤷
