• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The tech ceos really went off the rails during Covid.

  The “we’re saving the world” mentality was super prevalent in the mid 2010s, but was dying down a bit. And I worked for companies that were exactly like WeWork in WeCrashed.

  Then Covid happened and they completely lost track of reality.

  Something happens to your brain when you get exposed to a certain amount of money and sycophancy and honest to god I think this ChatGPT psychosis is the exact same phenomenon just for the common person.

  I liked the look of vista

  I’m not excited about ios 26 though.

  I guess that’s fair, and I had forgot going to a friends to watch their rentals together.

  At least I definitely did not rip rented dvds to my hard drive.

  This is fantastic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI just launched its new ChatGPT Agent that can make as many as 1 complicated cupcake order per hour, but even Sam Altman says you probably shouldn't trust it for 'high-stakes uses'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I use agents a lot and have written several MCP servers now, the tasks I automate aren’t things like order cupcakes, it’s mainly the glue between complex things.

  I still can’t get Claude to nicely open a JIRA ticket for me, but I can get it to read through a sequence of connected documents and filter that into.

  I don’t think agents are ready for the main event and these are some poor examples of their power.

  I’m not saying they won’t improve, but using the right tool for the right job is critical. An hour to order cupcakes is silly even for an llm.

  The mongols would rule the shit out of this supercontinent

  Okay but that’s not what easier means.

  Easier would be to call the bakery or spending 10 minutes browsing their website, asking to cast, and checking out.

  I don’t want to spend an hour on tasks that would normally take 10 minutes. My executive dysfunctions already make me good at doing that.

  This might be a revolutionary idea, but what if they helped me do that take an hour in 10 minutes?

  I’m just putting that idea out there totally for free in case any AI companies want to jump on that opportunity.

  I don’t mind paying for a solid rotation of content to watch, I don’t have to own everything. People were mostly happy with blockbuster’s business model.

  The streaming industry is a heaping pile of shit right now though, and everyone is trying to dial us back to the worst of cable again.

  A stranger once offered my wife a bag of raw kangaroo meat as a thank you for helping them. We have no idea where they got kangaroo meat, as we live in Canada.

  She accepted it, but by the time she got home it looked highly suspicious and we didn’t eat it :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve recently come to realize if you eat everything in a sandwich individually on a board it’s 10x fancier.

  100x if you add 3-4 grapes around the edges.

  Fyi even a large context window might actually only be useful when it’s mostly empty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What makes a fart dry vs wet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Diet plays a role

  Most people don’t get enough fiber, I put ground flax seed in yogurt and try to up my fruit intake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Play Store is truly vile to use. It just feels gross and scammy and like a mine field of low quality slop and scam apps.

  iOS isn’t great either but it at least feels a whole lot better. The iOS store needs the ability to report fraid which it doesn’t sort until you install an app.

  That’s a long time to backup your giraffe porn collection.

  If friends asked I would flash their pixel with Graphene, then set it up basically as they would use it for them.

  Getting started was complex, your average user won’t have a good experience getting their apps added without a power user helping.

  I would probably misunderstand companies buying raw materials for cheap and turning them into high priced commodities as a weakness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump delays tariffs as the rest of the world plays hardball⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You know if they had just focused on problem countries with unfair labour laws I bet they could have achieved something

  But when they go after everyone at the same time it becomes obvious that all you have to do is say no and wait for the American corporate machine to eat this administration alive.
