Four years ago today I tweeted a concept for a "Raccoon Heist" video game, product description generated by GPT-3 and concept "art" created by DALL-E Today I fed those assets into Fable 5 and had it build full working game, single shot prompt, no feedback from me simonwillison.net/2026/Aug/5/r...

Oh! Btw... As of yesterday (2026-08-04) ... nodejs_compat is enabled *by default* for a new Cloudflare Worker deployments using compat date 2026-08-04 or later.
Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed
The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

Hot take: as it starts to sink in that your users can now magic code into existence just by asking for it, your app should become more like Salesforce

Getting started with OpenTelemetry while developing locally has historically been... rough, and with agents we see people piping logs to a file for an agent to grep We can do better! For both 🙋 and 🤖 blog.cloudflare.com/local-tracing/

BlueSky is going to hate this, but I would very much welcome a broader array of perspectives here
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

If I find myself writing “all you need is infinite tokens”, I would put down the keyboard and log all the way off But that’s just me
Crappy morning. I find LLMs really beneficial in certain areas of my life, but a lot of people think AI use of any kind is the devil. While this is irritating, what frustrates me more is knowing the real problem is the companies trying to shove this crap up every orifice of our lives. I'm so tired.
my big takeaway from the Hank Green thing is to note how incoherent the entire discourse is there are categories of computing which are Pure, and which Hank is free to use but other categories of computing which Hank cannot use if a data center hosts the algorithm that promotes his video, fine…
It's been a long road, but TCP ingress for Workers is finally here.
gRPC support is now available in Cloudflare Workers. You can now route, transform, and serve gRPC services natively at the edge without maintaining dedicated proxy infrastructure or translation layers. Read the launch post: https://cfl.re/4fMsitT

Nothing makes me put the speaker into the bozo bin more than claims of 100x productivity. 100x is a lot! You get done in one week what you used to get done in *2 years*? I… have some doubts

Saying "but authoritarian governments" and then immediately invoking "Vice President Vance" is indistinguishable from parody
Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

The Squamish climbing gym is kinda funny in that, on nice weather days it’s a ghost town, but as soon as there’s a little rain it is reliably packed full Everyone just really loves getting outside here 🥰

Pondering the commonalities between 3d printing and AI coding - people kinda go a little nuts / obsessive when they first get into it - at first they use it pretty much solely to make accessories for the hobby, or silly toys - output can be useful, but may not stand up to real world use
I need to know how much Mr. Peanut is worth before I decide. Does dude have resources? or living large on credit? Gimme the giant for sure tho
