Grok is now open source. 314 billion parameter MoE model. If you use an AI trained from Twitter posts. You will get the AI you deserve. Just sayin'

A friend challenged me to name a single big cultural tech advancement in the 2010's and I couldn't. Definitely not Blockchain (though what could have been) or VR. Yes TECHNICALLY AI transformers, but it wasn't felt until the 20's.

I've reached the stage where being in a hotel and not being able to tell Alexa to turn off the lights feels like camping. I'm not going to do well in the apocalypse

It surprises people to hear that the most useful book I've ever read for interacting with AI prompts is The 4-hour Work Week. The sections about how to communicate with a personal assistant were more helpful than any book on software engineering.

This slide from a presentation on Generative AI's power is both hilarious and tragic. It's either an AI failing at the task being shown off or a human putting in no effort because they let AI handle everything. 🤖😅😔

The FTC's move to ban noncompetes is a step in the right direction for worker mobility & adaptability, especially as AI transforms the workplace. Employees need freedom to provide true added value through uniquely human skills. I hope this rule sticks. thehill.com/business/46154…

AI is not ready to develop apps yet, particularly complex ones. However, it is great at generating docstrings, tests, and other clean code elements. The shear laziness of developers that still don't bother with this astounds me.

A friend's child is graduating and entering a university engineering program. With the pace of AI development, how will these students feel about the skills they've learned and the money they've spent in four years? Will those skills still be relevant?

This came up in my memories today. I participated in a little hackathon after this disaster 9 years ago. Little did I know it was the event that started the nonprofit I would be working at 9 years later.
