left some mushroom in the fridge for too long and I see some mold growing on it which is wild because it's like seeing lettuce grow on your tomatoes send tweet

holy shit I'm listening to an ultra liberal NPR economics podcast and they're unironically debating that okay maybe Trump is openly corrupt but also maybe corruption is actually good sometimes because look at China's growth under corruption

Dario's entire argument against open models hinges on the fact that CCP bad USA good. Which I'm sorry is just a hilarious argument to make in 2026. Why not ask school children in Iran who they trust more with frontier AI? Or ICE protestors?

can someone who understands democracy tell me why it's legal for one dead senator to be succeeded by his unelected sister and another dead senator to have his death announcement postponed until after the special election period?

On the night of Watanagashi, one Republican senator disappears and one Republican senator dies of the curse.

Just woke up in a daze from a nightmare/terrible vision. It's a new city built in the barren lands west of Texas. It's called 109, Texas. It is Las Vegas Strip merged into Houston Chinatown. Large parking lots. Boring large bland strip malls hosting oriental themed gaming parlors

I accidentally used Bing to search "claude code" and the first four result are sponsored competitors. Here's how far I had to go down the page to get to the correct result. Absolutely unusable garbage.

People were skeptical that the Trump Phone would be Made in America. But it's expensive, poor quality, late to the market, and oops they leaked all your personal data. So I believe them.

Java was a direct inspiration for JavaScript and Verilog, two of the most illegible languages that also end up powering all of our infrastructure. An insane run tbh.

It's quite amazing how hard Microsoft fumbled AI. Microsoft, who makes most of their money in B2B, tried shoving broken slop into all their consumer products, causing huge anti-ai backlash. Meanwhile, Anthropic is taking most of the share in enterprise and government use.

after all the discourse about chinese people eating pangolins, can we talk about the weird shit white people get into that's gonna kill us all?

Founders with technical skills are usually bad at business but founders with business skills are usually really bad at business.

for an administration who ran on the right to deadname, they sure are obsessed with changing names

If it was a hoax, it's gonna come out by the end of the month. This administration is too dumb to do a conspiracy.

it's funny that for a brief moment grok was neck to neck on all these ai benchmarks and then elon forced it to read his tweets and it's now dumb as a rock

OMG I was RIGHT! Comcast/Xfinity did get breached because I got phishing email on a Hide My Email that only Comcast knows about back in 2022. Only now are they disclosing it (except not really they're denying it and it's a lawsuit settlement).

I'm sorry y'all taking egohot's opinions seriously is hilarious because bro tried to throw covid into ida pro to develop a vaccine.

Prediction: future software engineers will be judged on who can write the least amount of code to accomplish a task. Code maintenance will become a competitive advantage.
