It is times like these where I wish we had invented hypersleep so I could just put myself into a pod and sleep through the next 4 years.

List of AI powered shit on my laptop, amended: - Arc browser - Cursor - Rewind - Claude desktop - Ollama - Warp terminal - Probably 3 or 4 random things I've downloaded and forgotten about

Well it definitely burns more battery

Today I commit to do some good in the world. Be a light in the darkness. To be there for my children, and give them something to dream for. No election can take that away from me. Easy mode is over: now I have to work to make the world a better place.

Today I am proud to announce the start of the Rebellion. Our first meeting will be on Alderaan next week.

If anyone asks though the base is on Dantooine

I’m thinking about picking up the trombone

Like the rest of the Artificial Intelligentsia, I have switched to Cursor as my IDE of choice. So much more powerful than Copilot! Not sure I can write code without an LLM behind the scenes anymore.

I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW TO MAKE TABLES IN LATEX. I am pretty sure this means I forfeit my PhD.

Use of AI tools like Cursor is spoiling me. I now expect to be able to just hit <tab> in any window and have everything autocomplete. <tab><tab><tab><tab>

In an effort to avoid spending $350 to replace an e-ink tablet with a broken USB port, I have successfully spent $400 on equipment and materials to repair it myself. #winning

I’m excited to announce that I have joined Palantir as Head of AI Systems, applying AI to critical national security challenges. linkedin.com/posts/welsh-ma…

Today we're releasing Ultravox v0.5, the next iteration of our open-weight speech language model With this release, we've closed the gap with proprietary models. Ultravox now outperforms GPT-4o Realtime & Gemini 1.5 Flash on key benchmarks for speech understanding 🧵

I'm open sourcing Podverse.ai, the AI-powered podcast app that I've developed over the last few months. mdwdotla.medium.com/introducing-po… github.com/mdwelsh/podver… podverse.ai

Just to be clear: I have nothing to do with Matt Walsh. (The Times Of India ran a story apparently confusing me with him.)

I haven't written significant Java code in more than 25 years, but thanks to ChatGPT it's all coming back to me now ... like riding a bicycle with fifteen extra pedals and no seat

I asked ChatGPT to generate an image of what it thinks I look like, based on all of our previous chats, including information about my interests and hobbies. I think it pretty much nailed it.

Today I wrapped up teaching an AI course for older adults at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Institute at University of Washington. Fantastic experience. One of the students even made me chocolate chip cookies. That never happened at Harvard.

Terms working their way into my lexicon since starting at Palantir: "echelon", "situational awareness", "saved rounds", "throw new SafeIllegalArgumentException()"
