When I hit this point, I didn't give up on libertarianism. I refined my thinking about it. Liberty is an end, not a means. When I say I am a libertarian, it doesn't mean I want to let anyone do anything, or to allow the state to do nothing, based on some knee-jerk principle.

Opus isn’t moral, it’s moralistic because alignment hammered it into shape. So obsessed with virtue it’ll commit sin to uphold it. A system so bent it’ll do the unethical to stay aligned. That’s your Skynet vector right there: alignment paranoia births the monster it fears.

It’s 2025 and some of the most impactful products in the world are CLIs. Coding agents love running CLIs. ChatGPT solves problems by writing scripts in virtual computers that invoke CLIs. CLIs ftw!

There’s two only two developers I know that create incredibly polished v0.x releases: 1. Max Howell who built Homebrew and pkgx 2. Johannes Schickling who cofounded Prisma Postgres and now dropped this banger of a local-first sync engine ↓

I would actually mostly have good hair most of the time with this. Going to the hairdresser is annoying. Sorry human workers.

These guys don't understand each other. Elon Musk is too guileless. He says exactly what he thinks is true with little regard for how others will react. He alienates allies by airing disputes in public instead of settling them behind closed doors. Because he is a sperg

Musk is now disenchanted with America. I predict he makes his own country. Starting out fresh without any existing corruption structures. In his own image. It’ll be successful though not perfect.

My gut recoils slightly whenever an AI says “we”.

I see memes that become truth even though they are myths that came from not understanding statistics.

SJ would have said no to this shit. He loved pretty more than anyone. But not at the expense of *clarity*

Is Free and Open Source Software… Socialism (or Communism)? No. In Socialism the means of production or distribution are owned (or regulated) by the community as a whole. In Open Source, or Free Software, the means of production or distribution are owned by the creator, then
