they did the thing

an october 11 2025 post from me reading: every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Tobin @tobinmagle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

My big question is why these folks are not thinking about the pipeline? How do we get novices from where they are to the point where they would even know what tasks need to get done by AI? Or do they think they’re simultaneously going to become immortal?

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

To be fair, that kid wasn’t helping AT ALL, but why improv that moment? The kid was clearly not expecting it. Also, That is not a lifting kid. Bad decisions all around.

Fox News is honing in on the enemy ... and it's ... Ms. Rachel?

which includes supporting Dem candidates, supporting Palestine, opposing ICE, and stating no one needs a billion dollars.

From this morning’s episode of NYT the Headlines “Researchers have found that dystopian Science fiction can have a surprisingly powerful impact on how the public views technology.” Re: Google’s 100 zeroes deal with Range: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/b... Yeah. That’s the point.

It’s written by a person who doesn’t understand the appeal of drinking water. That’s as far as I could get before I hit the paywall. I don’t feel the need to read further

I’m sure this sentiment is completely unrelated to data center water consumption concerns

I tried something in my class today that I was really excited about and I think went well! Basically a set of activities (with a bunch of polling) that turned students into an LLM in order to explain how they work. For example:

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

Hot take: I don’t think that “lower grocery prices” should count as a positive economic indicator, if it’s due to people not buying lettuce because of an explosive diarrhea outbreak

💯 this. We’re so used to internet services being unlimited (well, historically, cough Google Drive) but LLMs are so resource intensive that we need some way to understand the cost of what we’re doing.

If you are 38 years old or older, I want you to start working on your foot strength and ankle mobility. Unless I hate you. Then I want you to rest for ten years and then suddenly try to hop off a step one day, cold.
