  • I find myself thinking harder and learning more when I use AI. I’m constantly thinking what I can do to double check it. I constantly look at what it writes and consider whether it did the task I asked it to do or the task I need done.

    I’m on track to rewrite 25000 lines of code from one testing framework to another in 3 days, and I started out not knowing either framework and not having really written in typescript in years. And I’m pretty sure I can write the tests from scratch in my primary project that is just getting started.

    This one anecdote doesn’t disprove a study, of course, but it seems to me that the findings are not universally true for some reason. Whether it’s a matter of technique or brain chemistry, I don’t know. Ideally, people could be taught to use AI to improve their thinking rather than supplant it.



  • Wake the fuck up.

    No, you wake the fuck up. News flash: if both Dems and Republicans are going to let Israel bomb Palestinians, not bombing Palestinians isn’t on the ballot. You can just eliminate that as a point of consideration.

    Does that fucking suck? Yes.

    Do some people choose to throw away their vote by staying home or voting 3rd party over that? Yes.

    But the country is only going to pick one of those two. So unless you literally give not one single fuck about any other action either party might take, you are throwing away your vote.

    That’s not me. I have things I care about. And bombing Palestinians is fucking awful but it’s out of my control in that voting booth. So I vote on issues where my vote makes a difference.

    That’s the fucking reality, and you’re the one dreaming.









  • Guaran-fucking-tee you — if this administration lifts a finger in the middle of looting the country, it’s to do some evil shit. Literally worse than comic book villains. I don’t know that I’ll ever again take villains who “kinda have a point” seriously in movies again.

    No. Real villains are Snidely Whiplash, cackling and twirling their ridiculous hair as they throw women and children onto train tracks for literally no gain of their own.
