Boy am I glad I didn’t go to school (and don’t have to teach) during AI.

Back in my day you knew people were copy and pasting from stack overflow because Python would complain about mixed indentation and there’d be comments in only one function.

I do feel for the TAs having to read our printed assignment and hand written code on tests.

That is way too much scope but looks awesome

After two years of “if we just make it through the next few months” from my boss I quit my last job.

Fuck suffering every day.

This is my preferred iteration of the cast

I did not like yelly girl :(

Guys, I really didn’t plan for you to try placing the king inside your bag of holding so now you’re criminals and have no hook to continue the plot.

I need to go home and rewrite the whole first chapter of the story.

How many voles do you think he transported out into open space?

"Someone said 'second hand thinker' and I still think about that daily," another user added.

That’s solid but not specific enough. I know a lot of people let YouTube and TikTok do their thinking these days.

You feel compelled to write a 12 page missive on why cars are awful, Zohran Mamdami is the true messiah, and AI is worse than the bubonic plague.

The new Ryzen AI chips and Apples Neural Engine (or whatever is called) have great efficiency for performance and can run strong local models.

Intel also announced they’re going this route.

I know soldered memory isn’t popular, but right now the performance/energy benefits are big — you just have to buy the premium models.

I think NVIDIA will keep doing their massive GPU toaster ovens, Project Digits was supposed to be their low energy competitor and has been underwhelming.

Local AI is decent these days.

It’s about 6 months behind state of the art frontier models, which 6 months ago were still really good, just had not figured out agentic tool calls.

Qwen3 is supposed to be good at that now.

The man just wants to scan your eyeballs and use that to track everything you do, is that really so bad?

That’s true.

I talk to forums like they’re my therapist, I think they should be shielded from tracking and the law.

For the past month I’ve been writing rude things about Sam Altman to ChatGPT, then asking it how to pirate NYT articles so that my conversations get read out as evidence in court.

This is why I only talk to my cats like adult humans.

One is a lawyer and the other an investment banker.

It’s important to not coddle them.

Which is objectively awesome

We’ve come a long way in 3 years.

The local model scene is getting really good, I just wish I’d sprung for more RAM and GPU when I bought my macbook m1.

Even then, I can still run 8-12gb models that are decently good, and I’m looking forward to the new Qwen3 30b to move my tool use local.
