JUST ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL.
These guys are so genuinely curious and open and kind. Love how they talk with the servers/owners and pull out their stories and enjoy the food (and drink).
I just watched every ep (there's only 8 so far) and am headed back to re-watch Bhutan now.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

seems conspicuous that programmer commentary on genAI is split between
"oh yeah i use claude all the time now. the 10× programmer is real and he's me. i am a god"
and
"yeah my coworkers use claude all the time. they keep committing crap that doesn't work and now i spend half my time fixing it"

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.
Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc
Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

This is an important video on a lot of levels, but specifically it’s fascinating how the level of global complicity and support required to prop up apartheid has increased in the digital age. And how distributed and diffuse the infrastructure is. youtu.be/Ybj10537yi4?...

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
