"We're shipping so much more code with AI!"
"Good, stable code?"
"Oh heavens no. No no no. not at all. We couldn't possibly"
Milei is all-in on AI, including allowing AI agents to be limited liability companies. I kid you not!

Thoughts on the “content guidelines” @timothyunwin.bsky.social? Interesting to see our various critiques of “[X] 4 Good” from back in the day still being relevant!
Interesting points made by Sulzberger but no effort / offer to use the resources of the NYT for building a community to address any of the important concerns he raises. Everyone can just go off and do their own thing, an approach that IMHO is doomed to failure unfortunately.
As we enter a new era of technology, AI must be permitted to develop without premature regulation
Super important speech here by NYT Publisher AG Sulzberger. Anyone who cares about the role of journalism in our global society-and democracy in the modern world-should read this/reflect on it.
AI giants are in the process of wiping out much of the news industry.

last year the UN "ai for good" flagship conference mistreated me and censored my talk because i made the link between the ai industry (their sponsors) and genocide explicit. this year, ITU issues "content guideline" that, on a close read, sounds like a licence to silence criticism of ai/the industry
"The AI engineering impact data shows that output is up. It also shows that the work required to ensure that output is safe, correct, and maintainable has not decreased. It has increased substantially."
Aye, if only any of us had been saying this from day one 🤡

New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger warns A.I. companies are violating settled law and urges news organizations to stand up for their rights to ensure a sustainable future for reporting.
Where are all the big brave men who were burning people out for "the people"? Too ashamed to show faces and stand over their actions today.

What two years of telemetry data from 22,000 developers reveals about AI's real impact on developer productivity, code quality, and business risk in 2026.
The Sprotta hand axe is a #Neanderthal masterpiece. The flint tool was found in northern Saxony in 1996 and dates back to 50,000 to 80,000 years ago.
This hand axe demonstrates not only the technical skill but also the aesthetic sense of its maker, as it is noted for its carefully...🧵1/2

Hello friends and welcome to another “how’s ESM vs CJS doing?!”
A big win this time, at a year of `require(esm)` available!
38.0% of the popular npm packages now have ESM, up from 33.4% half a year ago.
ESM-only is up from 12.6% to 16.0%.
Particularly this non-dual, “vanilla” growth is very big!
