Twitter is a weird one because I absolutely hate using it and as someone who's built many feeds I can see how they're trying to farm engagement at the cost of their user's health.

But it is simultaneously the best place to get real time information and after reddit the best place to find human/bot generated content so I do still need access to the data.

Trusting Zuck to fill the gap with Threads is a moron's endeavour and Mastadon is too fragmented we need a centralized good actor to fix this.

I have ~4-5 completely non technical friends who've used LLMs to generate their personal websites, complete with appointment scheduling and payment links. We can't be more than a year out for full store generation with 1 click upload to hosting providers.

I don't think Shopify needs to exist anymore sadly.

Never thought I'd say this but welcome to 3 years ago Apple hardware

closedAI should give this guy a million bucks and fire everyone internally who was involved with trying to recreate his work and threatening him.

but they probably won't and if it's happened on some obscure math research it's happening everyday everywhere else.

Fully local AI compute can't come fast enough, these guys have IP theft baked into their bones.

Tesla is not and was never about the products and actual business. It's a shit business.

Its about hype farming so idiots take leveraged positions in the stock and get wiped out.

If you see Elon saying something particularly distasteful or stupid he is collecting puts to liquidate.

I would've paid 5x for a unshittified windows build. WSL is a truly impressive VM for dev work.

But I had to go to Linux and I suspect MicroSuck is in very deep financial shit with LibreOffice and Linux offering far better user experiences.

Windows 11 LTS is a dream to use. Unfortunately I need 25H2 for dumb gaming reasons so I can't use it. It proves Microsoft can make windows properly they just refuse.

When I opened up the old notepad and my add/remove programs was 3 entries long I couldn't believe it.

ungoogled-chromium is where it's at

The 2 groups getting fucked with the stay private longer trend are the LPs and the startup employees.

We should insist on public policy forcing public money into only public assets. It's the obvious sensible rule.

And company safes need to start including a clause where all classes of vested equity are offered buyouts in equal proportions. So VCs can't keep paying founders/each other on the way up while zeroing out common stock and eventually selling company IP for around the liquidity preference to some "totally unrelated" entity. Realistically this will only happen if YC gets onboard but I doubt Garry tan is the guy who can show this kind of spine.
