I believe this is what Sam Altman calls "the fast fashion era of software" right? I'm enjoying being able to write an app that gets me something now rather than waiting weeks, even if it gets set aside later. Plus, I feel like a software engineer again! a16z.com/disposable-sof…

I remember a post about how OpenAI spends millions on people saying "Please" and "Thank you". But what I'd like to see is how much they're spending on people complaining about em dashes. #EmDashes #OpenAI

AI is making strange bedfellows. This is what happens when you're up against a dominant player and falling behind. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We've been experimenting using NotebookLM as a knowledge source for projects. Most of our documentation is in Google Docs, so this is interesting to me. It's fun to see this evolve. I was afraid this would end up as another abandoned Google tool. testingcatalog.com/notebooklm-to-…

This has been my working theory all along. All the stories about these systems deleting production databases just reinforces it. getparthenon.com/blog/ai-is-a-j… #AI #VibeCoding

Finally found a real-world use for ChatGPT's agent mode. Had it look up LinkedIn profiles and send connection requests for one of my meetings this week. It worked. Not sure it was faster, but I could have been doing something else if I wasn't watching it out of pure fascination.

Still waiting for my Comet invite. At this rate, Perplexity will probably add those features to Chrome before I get in. theverge.com/news/758218/pe… #chrome

People were still using AOL dial-up in 2025?? My first internet experience was AOL dial-up. It's how I met my wife, and the internet has been integral to my career ever since. theverge.com/news/757194/ao… #AOL

A couple initial reactions using GPT-5 through the API. It's slow and verbose. Our blog kickstart process with GPT-4o: 2-3 page articles in less than 5 minutes. GPT-5: 17 (!!) page articles in 15+ minutes. On the plus side, no em dashes, so I guess it evens out. #AI #gpt5

First-time founders chase product. Second-time founders chase audience. Build trust first. The rest keeps changing. Avoid feature tunnel vision. It costs time, and therapy. #startups #product

I'm fascinated by stories like this. Letting AI run with something feels like handing it to an intern. Clunky at first. But they learn and level up. #AI will too. Just faster. lesswrong.com/posts/b3M8qKPD…

Do you run LLMs locally? OpenAI just released new models to do that. Anyone tried it yet? Curious how it compares to both ChatGPT and other locally available LLMs like Gemma or Qwen when running on a laptop. mashable.com/article/openai… #openai #ai
