I'm tuned into the Fediforum

I wrote some stuff in the comment section thinking I'd paste them in here, but that didn't work. But if you've been reading my blog you've heard it all before.

They have a new format which includes "tables" for up to six different participants.
It's a go...
Ben Thompson’s article about Anthropic and the Pentagon is worth a read, although not everyone is going to be satisfied with it. Anthropic is an interesting company because it feels like they don’t fully believe in their own product. Like Dario Amodei kind of wishes he was working on something else.
Very happy to welcome my old friend, John Palfrey, back to the web. I added his feed to my blogroll on scripting.com. His first new piece is about his experience at the AI Action Summit in February, in Delhi. He was executive director at Berkman when I was there in the early 00s. It feels like the old band is getting back together. ;-)
Good morning, Atlanta.
How are we preparing for the Long Web?
The state of State Of The Browser
I went to State Of The Browser in London on the weekend. It was great!
I mean, it’s always great but this year the standard felt really high. All the talks were top quality. I’ve been at events with ticket prices a literal order of magnitude greater but with quality nowhere...

The nature of the job
Large language models help you build the thing faster, which is the primary end goal for your company but only sometimes for you. My primary goal might be to build the thing faster, but it also might be to learn something durably, to enjoy the work, to look forward to Monday.
I don’t like the mental fragility of not fully understanding how my own code works, where AI-generated code is “mine” in that it’s attributed to me in the git blame and I’m its maintainer going forward.

Steve Troughton-Smith blogged about the projects he worked on over the last month with Codex 5.3:
It didn’t just blow away my expectations, it showed me the world has changed: we’ve just undergone a permanent, irreversible abstraction level shift.

The range of conditions I’ve been out in at OB is wide. Today was mild yet beautiful and a brief break from staying informed about the news of the day.

I cancelled my NYT subscription two years ago in part because it felt like they threw Joe Biden under the bus, but they really do have good reporting most of the time. Some background details on the Anthropic / OpenAI and Pentagon negotiations:
Mr. Michael, who was on a call with Anthropic executives, demanded that the company’s chief executive, Dario Amodei, get on the phone to hash out the language, the people said. But Mr. Michael was told that Dr. Amodei was in a meeting with his executive team and needed more time.
Sad to hear about this shooting in Austin. It’s also weird to be out of town when something like this happens:
Three people died, and at least 14 others were injured in a shooting on West Sixth Street overnight Saturday into Sunday, according to Austin-Travis County EMS.
East 6th is more crowded and generally a little crazier, although I wouldn’t consider it unsafe, so perhaps this could’ve been worse. Too many guns.
