I just wrote my first note on Substack substack.com/profile/152580…
LLM tech is, despite the hype, not intelligence of any sort, and even if you accept that label, it's not emotional intelligence. 2/2
The clouds after the storm

Guy in front of me at the deli just told this woman who walked in that she "was pretty" and needed to "smile more", so I said to him "homie, you looking pretty yourself, why don't you smile for me a little bit?" and - SURPRISE - he got mad 🤣
One of the biggest arguments for everyone going to college is that when kids raised in right wing households get to college and are faced with the real world (diversity, etc), they finally learn how to function as normal humans in society.
Talking to ChatGPT is like talking to a very fallible yet inveterate people-pleaser.
@mipsytipsy The part of "full stack engineer" I love is the baked in attitude of "I will go solve problems wherever they exist".
You don't have to be GREAT at everything. But being good enough that you can submit a PR instead of having to get on another team's roadmap is a game changer.
@ChrisMurphyCT Anyone who owns a gun should be required to carry gun insurance like car insurance.
Channel 5 has put the wrong subtitles on Ben Hur! It is hilarious!!
Musk's silly decision to label NPR "state-affiliated" is a chance to consider how much influence the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has over Twitter via the Kingdom Holding Company/Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's big stake. Surely more than Uncle Sam has over NPR. motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
@dfriedman33 NPR gets zero direct Fed funding. Hi: @TwitterSupport you folks made an error labeling @NPR as state funded media.
Maybe cable news channels can take a tiny break from covering what Trump had for lunch to show the massive crowds of young people flooding into Nashville to demand Republicans pass gun reform.
If you want someone to know what's at stake in Chicago on April 4, share this video from @MorePerfectUS made in partnership with @inthesetimesmag and hosted by veteran editor @MilesKLassin. As MPU—and pretty much everyone—notes "This is one of the most important races of 2023."

You know the old joke, now retread: Architects know less and less about more and more, until they know nothing about everything. Technical specialists know more and more about less and less, until eventually they know everything about nothing.
@unusual_whales This doesn’t happen in my Empire. Every employee is guaranteed paid time off, free healthcare, lunches provided everyday, etc. I know our training is lacking, but we are improving on that everyday. #jointheempire
@ReallyAmerican1 @Giannoulias Bebelplatz, Berlin, the Memorial to the 1933 Nazi Book Burning is a glass window into a library with only empty shelves... Much like all the libraries in Florida under Moussolini-DiSantis. Source: youtu.be/5zFpzfU6lVY
three suited men in my coffeeshop. one of them just said, "my personal idea of progress is moving things forward," which is actually just the definition. everyone's nodding. guys like this are in charge of every industry and it's clearly why trains explode

It appears to be a thing now on the right to cut video clips to make VP Harris sound like an inarticulate idiot. Classic example of trying to hit an opponent’s strong suits. Love her or hate her, she is one of the smartest and most articulate politicians we’ve ever had.

Somebody over on LI asked if an LLM could do the Scrum Master job. That strikes me as a kind of insanity. If you don't care, you can't be an SM. An LLM does not care. The SM role is not about rote process; it's about communicating with people. 1/2
