Thursday session
These assholes https://www.openui.com/ did not do any due diligence before choosing a name.
The only Open UI that counts is https://open-ui.org/
I mean, I would ask for the country first (because not all countries have zip/postal codes), but the point stands…

A lovely post from Remy about State Of The Browser and Web Day Out.

Related to Matt’s thoughts:
…working with agents feels much less like classic deep work, and much more like playing a game. Not to say the work is frivolous—it’s just because it feels like I’m in a game loop.
Flow, at least in the usual sense for me, feels smooth and continuous. The work and your attention starts to line up so cleanly that the experience becomes frictionless. You disappear into the work and meld with it. One notable aspect of flow has been I lose track of time. Working with agents on the other hand, is not like that at all. It’s highly engaging, but in a more jagged, reactive way. I’m focused, but not settled. I’m absorbed, but not merged with the task. I’m paying close attention the whole time, but the attention is dynamic and tactical rather than continuous. I don’t lose track of time at all.
Most of your screen time isn’t leisure. It isn’t addiction. It isn’t even a choice.
It’s maintenance.

It’s weird how there’s a subgenre of time-dilation folklore in Japan and Ireland…

Brian takes us back twenty years (which is when we first met):
To gather so many like-minded, energetic people in once place and not have it ruined by corporate greed felt unique.
Matt has some smart reckons on the relationship between time and technology:
The factory bell, the railway timetable, the telegraph wire, the always-on smartphone — each imposed a new temporal discipline, each produced its own characteristic form of exhaustion, and each was eventually (partially, imperfectly) domesticated through a combination of regulation, design, and collective action.
slop·py·pas·ta n. Verbatim LLM output copy-pasted at someone, unread, unrefined, and unrequested. From slop (low-quality AI-generated content) + copypasta (text copied and pasted, often as a meme, without critical thought). It is considered rude because it asks the recipient to do work the sender did not bother to do themselves.
Just heard the sad news of Dolores Keane’s passing.

Generative AI vegetarianism, simply put, is avoiding generative AI tools as much as you can in your day-to-day life.
This is about something that’s already happening, that doesn’t show up in employment figures: the quiet destruction of the feedback loop that turns inexperienced people into competent ones. The process by which you get something wrong, feel it, understand why, and become slightly less wrong next time. It’s unglamorous and it’s slow and it’s the only way it’s ever worked.
AI short-circuits that learning completely. Not maliciously. Just structurally. When you can generate something that looks right without doing the thinking, you will (most people, most people being me, will, most of the time, under pressure, with a deadline) and the muscle that thinking would have built never develops.

This is genuinely much more interesting and wholesome than a chat interface powered by a large language model.
