We're in the Geocities era of building with AI: chaotic, ugly, and half-baked slop. But look where the web is today, 30 years later. I'm not writing off AI just yet.

Giving a short analytics talk tomorrow, needed a simple demo to illustrate the case, ended up making an entire game, incl. ad thumbnails and all 🤣 Claude is working on animated ads right now. What a time to be alive. 🥳 Play with me, No App! → PlayTipTapGo.com

Maxed out my max subscription. Oddly calming feeling being done for a day. Should do more often.

I reread this every year. I cry like a baby every year. Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero. Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked. Lisa: I understand. Can they see you? Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake. Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor. Lisa: Are you okay? Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again. Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true? Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan. Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call. Lisa: I promise. Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy. Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.) Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol. Todd: I understand. I’ll be back. Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot. Lisa: What are you going to do? Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out. Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

Researchers spent 500 hours and $70,000 and found LG TVs logging plain text transcripts in standby, mapping every device in the house, and feeding it to LG's ad arm Unplug the internet and it saves the files until you plug back in. LG says its TVs don't record ambient conversations. The evidence begs to differ. 216 million of these are sitting in living rooms. Where are the regulators? Writer: Daniel

Agent git worktrees were eating my disk space. Created this prototype of a Mac storage upgrade that reclaims GBs of disk space while keeping all your files. That’s Airspace (wip)

This should go viral! This video is savage and she's so right! Can you even fathom what those innocent babies went through? The absolute terror and having that one person who should cherish you, HURT YOU?! IT MAKES ME SICK that these pink shirt wearing Karens are crying..CRYING for the mother but say nothing about three innocent souls!

Morning bathrobe rant: 20X.

Impatience with actions, patience with results. @naval

Today, @Spotify publicly invited malicious actors to make them a target as they shared with the world that they're running their Macs with admin privileges. Which is how this installer could pass QA. "Spotify ships 4,500 production deployments per day, with 73% of pull requests now AI-assisted." 🫶

Everything you've been told about AI data centers is wrong. The media and politicians can't stop demonizing them: - THEY'RE DESTROYING OUR WATER - THEY'RE DRAINING OUR ENERGY GRID - THEY'RE RAISING YOUR POWER BILL But what if the whole panic was manufactured? In this video I break down the 5 myths you're being fed, and who actually benefits from you believing them. Watch it, then tell me: are data centers a threat or a scapegoat?

Everything worth doing is worth doing excellently. Everything done excellently takes time. There's no shortcut to competence. Competence is the shortcut.

Nobody ever posts music on here. So here's some, for a change. youtube.com/watch?v=WJSja_IH… It is absolutely out of this time and very European - French, to be specific. Do I speak French, you may ask. No, I don't, I would answer. I have absolutely no idea what the lyrics are saying, and I love that. I get my breakfast at a french Café most mornings, after walking my dog: doppio macchiato or flat white, depending on my mood and planned calories. Granola with fresh berries. Half an èpi to take home (if it survives that long). So… enjoy the music and have a blessed day!

Someone one-shotted an HTML click dummy of Finder and some panels that simulate macOS apps with Kimi. Can we appreciate things for what they are? It’s not an OS. It's a mockup of one. "Impressive UI replica" is a real compliment. "Built an OS" is marketing nonsense.

Real conversations I'm having with Claude Opus 4.8. "High" doesn't refer to effort, clearly.

A huge amount of the Anti-AI code sentiment massively overestimates the quality of human code outside of a very small set of open source and high quality company codebases. Human Slop is everywhere and can trivially be improved on by any opus level model.

Damn, those are all so good! Growl! AppZappeer! Adium! Can't remember the fish one - time to schedule my dementia exam!

The advice is always "set a reminder." You did. It went off. You glanced at it, thought "one more minute," and that minute ate the next twenty. A reminder you can negotiate with isn't a reminder. That's the gap Showtime fills.
