New episode 🚲 We finally flip the script on our usual AI talk and get honest about what adoption actually looks like at bigger companies: $500K LLM bills, slop code, and a CFO somewhere wondering what just happened. Plus: is AI just a fancy search engine? bikeshedpod.com/episodes/22/...

AI Adoption Reality Check

Matt, Scott, and Dillon push back on the AI hype cycle by digging into a Dax tweet about what AI adoption actually looks like inside larger tech companies — bloated LLM bills, unmotivated 9-to-5ers churning out slop, and the burned-out few left cleaning it all up. Plus thoughts on whether AI is really just a fancy search engine, and a hot take that the Super Bowl MVP should've gone to the kicker.

I feel like bsky needs to have better content recommendation feeds I like following who I do right now, but sometimes I don't want to see their politics content, or see their atproto content

Does ChatGPT Codex on the web just not work for everyone else also? I enter a prompt and then it just refreshes the page and clears the input??!

Why does Cursor change its layout basically every day? Its great that the team is shipping fast updates, but updating the layout/design of it each time is getting tiresome as a user

The modern day "my code is compiling"

Maybe its just my circle of bluesky, but I feel like things are shifting more towards being accepting of AI vs anti-AI, feels like a good shift generally speaking!

Small annoyance with bluesky, when I go to open it on my computer I can search for `bsky`, when I go to open it on my phone I have to search for `bluesky` (`bsky` as a search term doesn't work) Sure, iOS search could be better - but still wish the URL would match the app name
