And we use YAML like straight men have sex in prison: under duress
Nobody is going to use your novel object notation format. We don't use JSON because it's great, we use JSON because it's convenient.

Remember when everyone said prompts would finally let non-developers build features? That we needed new tools because product people and UX would be writing all the prompts now, and they wouldn't write it in code?
I have an update on how that's going.

I'm a voiceover actor, you've heard me on your TV, radio or the web over the 36 years of my career. My bread-and-butter work used to be narrating training films and corporate videos, used to be at least 1/3 of my income. MOST of that work is now AI. My agents are dying, fellow talent are struggling.
How is AI *really* impacting jobs?
Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:
-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

Recent large anti-Musk street art in Paris. It really shows how hated he is, you never see anything like this in Paris, even about "our" far-right politicians. By coincidence, they could use the inverted car, one of the few symbols to have emerged in Parisian street art in recent years.

The modelization challenges are going to be fascinating, though.
Apparently, it means that:
* systems will be composed of multiple agents
* agents need a good model of their domain
* agents need a clear contract for communication
This is indeed how you build distributed systems.

The future is inevitable, but also we need taxpayer money to make it happen.
BREAKING: OpenAI is requesting US government support to help guarantee financing for the massive investments in AI chips and data centers it needs for expansion, per Bloomberg.
