Like my Mom, Owen Meany, and perhaps you, I don't believe in coincidences.

I'm late to the Ray Bradbury party, but he concluded "There Will Come Soft Rains" with a home assistant caught in a loop saying:

"Today is August 5, 2026, today is August 5, 2026, today is ..."

That story seems to foreshadow this past Tues & Wed when powerful people were threatened each other with weapons the story warned us about. I'm glad Bradbury was wrong about August 4th and 5th, 2026.

Zitron just sent me a post that Casey Newton wrote, where Newton uncritically talked about Replit's CEO saying that his company is now just run by AI, and the CEO is a "glorified router"

Remember, if a fawning, boot-licking, sychophant-incompetent like Newton has managed to make it big, there's hope for everyone else. Think about the overwhelming advantage that your brain cells give you

(this is the one who said they aren't worried about cognitive decline caused by LLMs because they're going to have age-related cognitive decline anyway)

i think the only one of my friends who actually makes heavy use of LLMs by choice is finally having a breakdown because of them.
