MS NOW@ms.now · 13h ago"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.
Tonight the American people sent a clear message - the president must go to jail
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 20h agoTonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
Official statement from incoming chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform @robertgarcia.house.gov:
I hope that every Seattle and king county elected is getting their shit together RIGHT NOW to fight for trans kids here as they get fucked over in Washington state. We need new local legislation TOMORROW
This is a mandate for impeachments, abolishing ICE, prosecuting corruption, investigating DOGE and demolishing whatever wedding cake monstrosities get built before the family flees to some jurisdiction without an extradition treaty
I will never get over the idea of people who think they're engaged in critical thinking declining to put 2 cents into the machine that tells you exactly why your analysis is wrong
"The entire HMRC backend could be rebuilt with £1k of Claude tokens" is a statement so completely disqualifying it hard to know where to start

I don’t understand how copyright of code really matters anymore, it barely did already. IP copyrights, closed source, NDA, trademarks, service moats… when was the last time code copyright mattered for something a big company did?
This question is not settled AFAIK, but if we imagine all code developed at e.g. Google became un-copyrightable from tomorrow, Google still has a massive moat, and can in any case just keep that code closed source if they want to.
mildmojo@mildmojo.bsky.social · 3d agoAs a dev, I don't subscribe to that narrative, but one useful question: for LLM-dependent devs, what happens now that their generated code can't be copyrighted, and therefore can't be owned or licensed? Do companies wager they can still assert ownership, and it's too cumbersome to challenge?
I sold my first piece of software 46 years ago, at 13 years old. (Written in 6502 assembly language). I agree with most of what you've written here. There's no moat anymore around SaaS. Anyone who has used Salesforce can use an LLM to write a 95% version that's personalized to them.

Extropian bodily autonomy insurer@rekmarks.com · 5d agoTwo things are true: 1. Claims about AI capabilities are overblown 2. AI has completely revolutionized software development, and will do the same to many other fields I'm a software developer by trade. I'm going to attempt to explain what this revolution feels like "from the inside".

Although his fax machine operator comment is essentially correct, this behavior is absolutely unacceptable from the CEO of any company, and especially one responsible for people's email, data, and passwords.
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 6d agoNew: you think you know Proton, but you really don't.

a thing you start to realize is that an enormous number of people who don’t subscribe to any organized religion, and in many cases would disclaim having any religious beliefs, nonetheless have a huge swathe of their worldview shaped by ultimately supernatural, mystical, or quasimagical assumptions

I don't actually believe this, if only because I think the actual root of all reactionary thought is Terminal Abstraction Brain. you just have to be screening your thoughts and hitting yourself over the head if you find yourself getting angry or sad over blurring of "natural categories"
