hero nerds, we are art, and to the moon (not mars)
Offloading cognition and turning intelligence into a freely available resource, just like the pepper shaker. Cool metaphor and fascinating analysis of the “right” way to approach AI tooling.
In relation to AI Art, Brandon Sanderson has a speech. I think this is the only time I’ve every link dumped a video but…We Are the Art
And because I have to get some written stuff even if I found it via a speech - Sanderson referenced the Prologue to Dorian Gray, which I’ve never read before and it is amazing to think about in the Age of AI.
Our World In Data on Religion. Well worth perusing.
MonarchMoney is a great product I highly recommend so I was excited to hear what one of the founders had to say about AI and software engineering teams.
Moltbook explored by Astral Codex Ten. I don’t really have words but I suspect I’ll want to find this again someday.
Nate Silver has an interesting analysis of where the US is in terms of autocracy. Fantastic read.
A funny screed on Github Actions. Strictly for the nerds. And, from the same author and following along he has a deep meditation on CI systems in the first place and why Bash is not enough. I just wish this guy had a way for me to subscribe to his stuff.
Holy crap I am really looking forward the the catty Anthropic ads that are targeting the OpenAI advertising-in-ChatGPT debate.
Sean Goedecke on Nerd Heroism in large companies. Invariably I love Sean’s takes.
Musk running away from Mars and now all-in on the previous “distraction” of the Moon. Okay! I’d rather than Moon anyways!
I read a lot of stuff. Link Dumps are the things I think are worth remembering. You can always check out my Link Dump Tag if you’re looking for even more to read.
