I have a fetish for rounded corners.
I thought I could blame Apple. Then I found them in 10,000-year-old buildings.
Here's how we ended up rounding off the entire internet: elnah.la/rounded
Nothing to worry about here. It’s not like the “move fast and break things” crowd could vibe-code their way into a pandemic-scale fuck-up. And I'm sure they could just patch it in production.
Anthropic has quietly set up a laboratory to do physical biology work as it pushes its artificial-intelligence ambitions into the world of drug science. reuters.com/world/anthropic-…
Streaming apps have optimized every inch to keep me watching—except the inch I control.
Why make me skip the recap, titles, and an ad for another show before every episode?
No AI needed. Just give me one setting: “Skip All Crap.”

AI might gain total control and destroy humanity one day, but I worry it’ll burn me out far earlier.

Hats off to whoever thought of using the iPhone Duo’s inner display as an ambient sunrise light in tent mode. Pairing that glow with the UI is pure elegance.

What if living longer just meant being needed longer?

There are three types of people you'll find at the gym. The assholes who don’t re-rack their weights. The civilized folks who do. And people like me, who are too neurotic to work out in a mess and spend our rests sorting dumbbells by size.
I can no longer tell AI from reality or reality from AI. The uncanny valley now runs both ways.
AI leaders promise 10x productivity. Their vision gives companies 10x output—not workers 10x more life.
If AI creates abundance, the dividend shouldn’t flow only to profits. The standard workweek should shrink too.

Codex finished the work, handed it to a reviewer agent, then started getting passive-aggressive because the review was taking longer than the generation.
AI has recreated toxic workplace dynamics remarkably fast.
Maybe passive-aggression is the real AGI benchmark.
ALT Codex: "The reviewer is taking longer than the generation itself, which is almost impressive. I'm giving it one final window to finish rather than skipping the mandated pass; all production work is already complete and no generation processes remain open."
Back in the 1990s, when I first started using the internet, I never had to scroll to find my birth year.
I didn’t think I’d get here this quickly, but here we are: apparently, 40+ is the final level.
Imagine getting paid to professionally suck the joy out of a room. Just a relentless desire to piss on everyone's parade for clicks. I hope the "fact-check" was worth the vibes you killed. 🙄
TIL I’ve been stressed by authenticator app timers for absolutely no reason. Frantically typing the code when it's red, thinking I had maybe a 1-second grace period, was totally unnecessary. Surprised to discover the TOTP standard gives a full 30-second grace to account for clock drift!

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.
I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.
Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.
At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.
So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.
I am happy but also sad and confused.
If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.
The number of StackOverflow questions over time is a visual definition of what "disrupted by AI" means. RIP, StackOverflow.

Law firms are panic-padding bills with unrequested "strategy" to protect their fees.
If I order a burger, I’m not paying for a "strategic culinary consultation" just because the chef used a robot to flip the patty. Give me the efficiency discount. 🍔🤖
