if you suffer from motion sickness with first-person games, please try one of our "motion reduction overlays" in Big Walk — crosshair, frame, or both. this is experimental, but we really want to improve this accessibility issue. give it a bit of time (if you can) then report back!! here's "both":

Can’t stop thinking about this. Not just bc it’s such an abhorrent idea but also this is THE GUY that’s trying to pitch America on AI writ large and he’s so blind to the public interest he thought this was somehow appealing

My god. These people. They continuously conflate public health advice with tyrannical mandates and commands. Yes, Metaxas can do whatever he wants. Go jog until you collapse in a coughing heap if you want to, I say! But public health officials have a responsibility to give the best recommendations.

MAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

Worse than Twitter, private discussions (text, email, whatever) among like-minded wealthy lunatics who are all surrounded by yes-men who talk like ChatGPT in maximum ass-kissing mode.

A thread, because things are feeling rough at present. 🧵👇 I'm not quite sure where to go or what to do. I'm watching my peers slowly burn out, go quiet, quit the industry, or struggle on hoping it'll get better in time. Even if the storm is weathered, what comes out the other side?

As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life. Happy 4th of July!

ANTHROPIC CEO WARNS OPEN-SOURCE AI IS ON A "VERY DANGEROUS PATH"

Talked with a few folks inside of AI labs (OpenAI, Anthropic) about what they think of the future of software engineering. The “closer” to shipping production code engineers are, the less they believe software engineering will be “solved” fully by AI. The opposite true as well

Thanks to all the indie devs who shared their apps in the previous post. I'm slowly working through them. Here's mine! Lemon Squeezy is a minimal first camera for little photographers aged 2-8. It's made for children to use independently, with a built-in photo library so they don't wreck yours.

I hypothesize a significant portion of harm is caused by mostly well-intentioned people convincing themselves that something serious is actually “not that big of a deal.”

Software engineers: we need to minimize our dependencies Also software engineers: I’m gonna let an LLM write all my code

When I write code, it achieves two goals: The obvious goal - the code we get that run and does a thing. The less obvious goal - my own knowledge of that code, which enables me to debug, improve, and expand it in the future.

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

Giving up on learning & honing our software engineering craft because “LLMs can do it” is not working out, folks. I see so many mistakes & misunderstandings go unchecked because folks are not required to think before publishing. Y’all are giving up your ability to taste & praising frozen dinners.

WWDC is a great time to get excited about features, APIs, and generally have fun nerding out with other people! But we cannot also ignore Apple's willful collaboration with fascism. Because it threatens those same people that use and make it all.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Jesus, this is bleak. Formerly great engineering organizations are being destroyed by idiots with AI psychosis. The worst people are truly failing upwards. Not just at Google. www.404media.co/google-emplo...

Google Employees Internally Share Memes About How Its AI Sucks

Google’s CEO says 75% of the company’s code is AI-generated. The people who write that code say the AI they’re using is overhyped.

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

Another week, another trillion dollar company screwed by LLMs. So far AWS, Microsoft, now Meta. That's what you get when your CEO has AI psychosis. Never let these people live it down how they outsourced their thinking to a big autocomplete model.

New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal. Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI: www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

In my experience, people’s view on vibe coding is very much based on wether they have ever been responsible for software running in production
