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.

Can you stop cc’ing me, I have nothing to do with the timeline.

Reading your excellent comic all I could think of was Sun Tzu’s advice of taking whole.

If Caesar had sought strict vengeance I wonder if Rome would have fractured

Whereas with Augustus I don’t know if there was a focal point for opposition to build on to.

Makes me think of current political times.

They’ve got a lot of great songs

I Will Survive is a solid cover too.

I listened to It’s Coming Down a lot after my first break up.

Actually, I listened to both those songs a lot then…

In bird culture this is considered a dick move

Clover looks like they’ve been through it

I’ve got a bun in my yard who eats the clover, I think they just got a new name

Please remove me from this thread.

This is fantastic

And we’re back to cigarette companies publishing articles about smoking being healthy.

Except with chemicals that will forever alter our lives and world.

Wow, that’s so much worse than extracting short term energy by clearing the top off a mountain, pushing all the rock and heavy metal into local lakes forever polluting the water table, and then turning that coal into greenhouse gasses all for a quick release of energy.

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.

I saw one the other day and someone just painted over it and wrote “fuck nazis” which I liked

As Borg, we agree.

Is there more on this?

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.
