I don't agree with all the qualities attributed to LLMs in this manifesto but it still provides useful guidelines on how to use them responsibly.
I have put together a (long overdue!) draft RFD on using LLMs at @oxide.computer, but I know that there is a ton more to be said on the topic; thoughts and experiences welcome!

Following Eurovision’s decision to allow Israel’s participation, Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has withdrawn from the contest. The announcement split the screen between Israel’s performance and scenes of bombardment and starving children in Gaza. #Spain #eurovision #genocide

The #Bluesky Android app keeps logging me out every single day, sometimes twice a day.
Looks like their session tokens are short-lived and never renewed, which feels very amateurish.

I noticed the same pattern: people with the most expertise use AI tools less because they are not blind to the poor quality of their output and at the end of the line they can't get away with producing bullshit.
AKA the Dunning-Kruger effect
AKA the Dunning-Kruger effect
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

This is why we can't have nice things: streaming service companies cancelling their best shows after two seasons, like Poker Face at the peak of its success.
Also Natasha Lyonne is half of the show's interest, why would Rian Johnson even consider replacing her?

Poker Face has been cancelled by Peacock after just two seasons, though the director has said he will now attempt to save the show by shopping it to another streamer — with a completely different actor in the leading role. https://bit.ly/49eRXK2

Happy that the stars aligned perfectly for me: I used Navigation3 since their alpha releases to build new features that I pushed to production two weeks ago, right on time with the final bug fixes before stable. I'm very happy with its simplicity and flexibility compared to Navigation2.

Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable! 🎉🎉🎉
Leaning into Jetpack Compose and the idea of combining smaller building blocks together really helped make Nav3 a much more flexible library that made it a joy to work on and hopefully for you to use as well!

I hate to see so many professional tools now offering "AI summaries" which create noise and zero added value.
LLMs are unable to summarize because they don't understand the content or the context, they're only able to produce arbitrary shorter text.
