Text editor and a file server has done me well over the decades Fun watching the llm folks trip over their own bullsh*t Makes me sad the younger folks won’t get the LAMP stack intro I got As soon as you show someone you’re just serving text files it makes whatever build they got super unnecessary

Still contend that the fundamental problem with tech is bros think computation IS something This algorithm IS flocking not a simulacrum of flocking This algorithm IS intelligence not a simulacrum of intelligence Understanding the difference means you don’t mysticize discrete systems as continuous

Crazy to see my former colleagues who never let their kids use an iPad now use ChatGPT They knew that every app is just a gocha and would rot their kids brains because they built the damn thing And finally they, the gocha builders themselves, pull a lever for randomized payouts like the rest of us

I think there’s a comparison to be made with city design. Cities built before cars have more bike accidents but less fatalities than suburbs or new cities The human body can hit a brick wall at 25mph and be okay, after not so much I feel there’s a “perception” equivalent, too much too fast

I get it 💙 I push back on mixins, multiple reasons but mainly that in a cascading language based on specificity .. everything’s a mixin Maybe I’m an old dog but I like my css chunked up, page based, import those chunks via html links I use the “media” attr on html links, gives me that mixin feel

I’m begging every tech bro confused about the definition of “thinking” and “conscious” to take any neuroscience 101 class jfc As far as we know there is NO brain-body separation. Cognition and a physical form are so tightly coupled that its assumed one simply can’t occur without the other

w-lfpup @w-lfpup.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I think cognitive science would disagree with any of this. We can represent these individually through discrete maths and digital systems. But it’s a representation As far as we know there is no brain-body separation. Cognition, emotions, consciousness seem to be tightly coupled to a physical form

I tire of this conversation dude and the inherent cognitive dissonance it takes to square this So what is it? Does AI work so well we still need to increase head count? Or does AI not work and we still need to increase headcount? Where the hell is the inherent value if AI requires BOTH

Bro I was part of the initial 15% firing of the google workforce in 2023 AI isn’t new it’s been 5 year smear across corporate 13% one year then another 12% then another 10% every year the last 3-4 years This is the problem with “scale” is it flies right over everyone’s head

Naw it’s just a corporate game of three-card monte Usually company stocks tank when they fire 1/3 of their workforce But AI + layoffs stonks go up! But I can tell you one thing: it’s definitely not every tech company paying another tech company for an excuse to return to a pre-covid era headcount

I don’t think there is one? Not because of anti AI sentiment but nature of computation and thermodynamics, we always get less out than we put in So a bit worth is basically a value judgement? Working theory why ai subsumes profitable orgs like email and ads and OS, otherwise it’s unprofitable
