Recently described as an "Etsy Dad" I'm a professional software developer who enjoys everything from writing to coding to making bath bombs. Let's explore some weird projects together!

Love Wayback Machine stories

Maybe one day the previous owner will find what you've built

Very interesting that OpenAI is by far the biggest driver and also that LLMs mostly crawl sites to ground answers

Because as we all know the Internet is never wrong

I get it - every week I look at a summary of AI news and my derealization meter spikes I wonder if even next year 2026 will seem like the new "good old days"

I'm re-reading the title and it is a little misleading (my apologies). The answer is a little bit complicated: the domain has been registered since 1999 (27 years). The initial site ran from 1999 to 2007 (8 years) and came back as a single page app around the 2008 election (~2 years). In February he re-created the site and hopefully it beats its predecessor's record!

Don't worry we can just ask AI to make a cure! In seriousness though this is a massive problem that needs to be stopped early. I was glad to see the article list warning signs to watch for

https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/mnsc.2024.05684 A fascinating related study showing that collaboration with AI improves cognition while passive use erodes it. Personally I love the adversarial attitude Sonnet has adopted with me!

Finally a success story I thought during COVID there was a large shift to the suburbs where your own space was valued over neat stuff nearby, and that simultaneously raised suburban housing demand and cooled urban prices

It's always been the tech industry's nature to race forward and scale regardless of consequence (ex. social media, the dotcom bubble etc) But AI accelerates the cycle to a crazy degree

I do hope we see regulation in the (very) near future because this is not a tool that private enterprises and free markets should govern

Okay those "hidden features" are amazing, especially the cross-session referencing. I hope we can look forward to that in the future

Also I definitely want a Claude Code spirit animal

Sorry man that sucks. It's the polar opposite of the COVID hiring boom

I feel like the right time to start a get a venture off the ground was in the 2010s
