I’m a long time Zitron’s reader, and this rebuttal of one of his pieces is fantastic: clear, respectful (delicate even?), on point, open to counter arguments. This is what journalism looks like.

UPDATE: I am back from mini-vacation upstate & the paid subscription response was so strong that I'm unlocking Thursday's response to @edzitron.com . Thank you to all the new paid subscribers who made this possible. I'm a writer! I like sharing my writing! www.crisesnotes.com/sigh-no-ed-z...

There must be a template doc circulating among tech CEOs to announce layoffs, they look all the same: * our employees are amazing * the business is stronger than ever * a leaner org will make us faster With a sprinkle of AI on top. What a bunch of losers… www.patreon.com/jackconte/po...

A Painful Update about our Team | Jack Conte

Hi Creators, I’m making a painful announcement today at Patreon. We’re reducing the size of our team by 20%, or 93 teammates. It’s going to

patreon.com

Nobody will read my message but you know what they will read? A fucking report on the number of game pass subscriptions tanking this quarter if we all cancel. We can make them suffer.

Feedback to Microsoft on why I canceled my game pass sub: Treating developers as line items in an expense sheet and not people is unacceptable. People make the games I love, and they deserve better than this. Fuck AI.

Fucking social media burning memory recall. Nobody remembers the stupid idea of sending tiny subs in a cave in Thailand because richest man in the world thought he knew better than best cave explorers in the world? And some still call him a genius ffs

I feel like we’re in for many years of “haha, they were spending taxpayer money on bug condoms—DOGE to the rescue!” turning out to be something important Elon’s Tween Team didn’t understand.

Those complaining are the type of engineers who blamed me for “falling behind” because I didn’t have a “sophisticated” ai setup based on multiple agent “personalities”, beads, memories, Ralphs and shit like that. Go educate yourself morons.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

Just one prompt and I got 50% of my whole month credits using Claude Sonnet 4.6.

This is hilarious. For context I used the Copilot Orchestrator that has Condutor, Planning, Implementator and Code review agents. But with the new "usage based pricing", seems like this is not an ideal setup anymore?
Anyone has the same experience here? I am on Copilot Prot. This is so expensive.
