I have to figure out how to make time to read books. This LLM speak is becoming too noticeable and just ruins the whole experience. sadness 😔

Wendy’s using a robot to collect drive thru orders is such a bad experience. Please stop, I am already stressed 😫

One of my fave (& underused) features on here is lists. I find that I want to follow organizations but I don’t want them flooding my main timeline because they post more frequently than the humans I want to follow. i wish insta had something like this or maybe it does and I have some learning to do.

You can’t talk about debt without talking about how we got into a bad predicament, and there’s only one correct answer: tax cuts enacted this century
U.S. debt is on track to reach historic levels
Debt held by the public as a percentage of the gross domestic product, 1792-2055
- Historical - • Projected → Without Bush and Trump tax cuts

📝 I posit that our impending reliance on LLMs is not a function of how good they are. I’ll cede that they are built atop theft, but can do impressive things. It’s a function of otherwise impossible business demands.

Wanted to watch Supergirl in theaters, but just missed the window. It didn’t blow my mind, but plenty of replay value! The challenge for movies right now has to be the cost. I only went to the Odyssey because we read Homer when we were younger— I would not sink that much money into it otherwise.

What…? Which customers are asking for this? I am curious because this direction makes me want 1Pass less not more. Even if I somehow believed that my data was safe (I don’t), I think this is the wrong direction. I would want to give agents scoped credentials, if I wanted to give them access at all.

Since the rise of LLM, has the average size of Slack messages seen a statistically significant uptick? How about the size of git repos? (ok this one for sure has to be like 99.9% true right??)

I’m still theorizing but I think multi-tasking with LLMs is potentially a drain on productivity. There are exceptions, but I think the average case is better off serializing all workstreams with LLMs until the job is done.

Yikes. I am still too young to understand what happens when things become too expensive but I somehow doubt that apple will make these products cheaper again if this subsides. We are unwilling participants in this experiment 🧪

I was handwriting an Apple Journal entry, and then it got overwritten by a random attachment? I have no idea where 20 mins of the start of my meditative writing journey went. I will be picking up a pen and paper now. Or maybe my journey is now about writing and letting go? Am I mad or inspired???

My data has always been valuable enough to advertisers. So the conversation was whether Google would sell my data. But now things are different. My data has become hugely valuable to Google itself. They want to use it to make Gemini better. And then give that model with my data to *everybody*.

Spoke only with an AI agent today to get a quote. That company is behind the pack at this point. I just have 0 connection to them. Like what if I need help after they do the work?? AI again?? I could be an anomaly, but this didn’t feel like an improvement for me; maybe for the business.
