Hello o/ Building sensorimotor intelligence @thousandbrains.org. In Texas, so Bluesky is probably not letting me log in. You can reach me back on X of all places.

Mapkeep is ceasing operations on 30 May, 2026. Your maps will remain available through 29 May, 2026. You can export your maps to the Online Wardley Map format.
Stage 2 of #enshittification is well in progress. The surplus is being shifted away from consumers. chatgpt is already not working on mobile web. Stage 3, that comes after, will take surplus away from the content producers. They'll have to pay for content (not ads) to be shown
I'm looking for Mac-only IT support company for SMB. Anyone have good experiences?
I find it wild how AI is this unstoppable force and also we have to change every API and data format to markdown.
This holiday season I managed not to buy any new domain names 🙌
So... what happens when LLMs are trained on LLM generated code?
@firefox.com how are you this incompetent in 2025?! Your major version update (146), once again, destroyed all bookmark functionality. What do you think you Job To Be Done is?!
heh... "The “is a” relation is the most overhyped and poorly understood mistake in computer science." ... change my mind 😉
. @markburgessosl.bsky.social I'm noticing the change to LEADS TO instead of FOLLOWS FROM in SSTorytime writing. Any significant reason for the change? Or is it just easier for folks to use?

Take a crash course on Monty, the Thousand Brains Project, how it works, and how to get involved. Ask questions, explore the implementation, and learn from the team. Today at 9AM PST. www.meetup.com/thousand-bra...
Did anyone at Google bother to read this sentence out loud?
It's Halloween. So here's a story about the horror of replacing your developers with AI: accu.org/journals/ove...

What if AI takes your job? Teedy Deigh finds out.

There's this idea that thanks to LLMs reviewing code will become more important than writing code. It misses the idea that writing code includes reviewing code as a side effect. For those who only speak "LLM": writing code is like generating your own data on which you train to review code.
🚀 New Video Series: Community Videos! First up: Collin & @tristanls.bsky.social dive into adding CUDA GPU support to Monty’s HypothesesUpdaters, with a proposed high-level API + open issues to tackle. Watch here 👉 youtu.be/eFmIK16B5kQ

Incidentally, this short 4 minute video triggered in me a fundamental insight into why quaternions work: an embedding in a higher-dimensional space with one constraint avoids singularities or discontinuities when representing the embedded space. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPgJ...

A must-watch talk from @scott.hanselman.com. Scott and I are of the same vintage, and I am embarrassed (mortified!) by how revolting some of our generational peers have become. Technology still has a unique power to improve our lives, but wow, do we ever have work to do. youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg?...

It occurred to me that it used to be difficult to convince "the business" that 100% SLO was not achievable. No defects was so difficult to counter. I'm amazed how much LLMs flipped the whole thing on its head and nobody cares anymore 😄.
