If a billionaire is a policy failure, a trillionaire is a civilizational one. One person hoarding that much wealth in a world where people are in need — hungry, sick, homeless — is the end product of a society undergoing the complete collapse of human decency. A trillionaire is an obscenity.

My boss has become an LLM proxy. A problem comes in -- a ticket, an internal report, whatever -- and he copy-and-pastes it into whichever model he's using this week, and then copy-and-pastes the result into Slack. I don't think he reads any of it.

I’ve decided to combine Sloth and Gluttony into a new, much better sin called “Sluttony.”

Me: If “awful” is bad and “awesome” is good, then “awless” must be the best thing ever!

Kid, 24, in town for the weekend: Moooom, dad’s doing the thing again.

Wife: I just ignore him.

Naming your AI supercomputer “Colossus” is the science fiction version of naming your surveillance company “Palantir.” WATCH THE MOVIE TO THE END, YOU MORONS.

I recently bought a pack of CR2032 batteries, and it said they had a coating to dissuade kids from swallowing them. Of course I licked one. They were basically daring me. No packaging gets away with calling _me_ chicken. It was _really_ bitter. They should include a warning or something.

With code so much easier to produce — with programmers running at triple or quadruple their old productivity — the software we use every day must be _great_. We must be living in a golden age of thoughtful, elegant, user-focused applications.

Now to take a big ol’ drink of water as I check.

Satire, born along side human cognition, passed away yesterday, in Miami, Florida, after a long illness.

A giant golden statue of Donald Trump, funded by crypto investors and prayed over by religious leaders, is the official cause of death.

Satire’s last words were, “What the fuck?”

Rudy Giuliani is proof that you can destroy your reputation, sacrifice your fortune, debase yourself in every way imaginable, and still die having accomplished nothing but to be remembered as a pathetic laughingstock. If anybody out there needs the reminder.

The number of Republican Party officials who will immediately volunteer to enforce the ban on trans athletes by doing genital inspections just shows how dedicated they are to their agenda. Which is raping children, by the way.

Bad software makes me frustrated, so — given the state of the industry — I am constantly in a state of blinding, white-hot rage.

Nothing fucking works.

It infuriates me that 30 seconds on the microwave is about 1.3 rotations of the platter.

Do you think, when they get together for family dinner, USB Type A and Type C make fun of their ne’er-do-well brother, Type B?

“Hope you never want to _print something_!” he screams at them, before storming off.

People keep talking about impeachment or the 25th Amendment, but all you’d have to do to get rid of Trump is leave him in a room with a door that pushes open but is labeled “Pull”.

I mean, there are so many great ones. It’s really hard to choose. But if I _had_ to pick just one prime number as my favorite, it would be 8647.

Passed an electric blue Corvette — the kind that tries hard to look like a Ferrari — on the freeway yesterday, with the license plate “CRYPTO”.

I’d tell you what the driver looked like, but you already know.

The reason Trump is usually so much further away from gun violence is because he’s not allowed within a thousand yards of a school.

I’m an atheist, so the only parallel to the cosmological beatdown that the Pope is giving JD Vance is if science discovered a species of bacteria that looked exactly like me and repeatedly punched itself in the dick.

The FBI had to find each individual shell used to spell out the terrifying threat against the President, to see if they had any ties to Antifa. Director Patel personally visited many beaches, all over the world, in his tireless hunt.

I kind of admire members of the Trump administration. Every day, they do things that are so shameful, so embarrassing, that they’d cause a normal person to walk into the desert to be willingly picked apart by buzzards. But, no, they just get right back on the horse and do it again.

I confused “caldera” with “cloaca” for a second, and gotta admit, it would make both birds and volcanos more interesting.
