To me, all these people crowing about having written 10k lines of code in a day are idiots. If you need to write that much code in a day, you are manifestly working at the wrong level of abstraction to solve your problem.

My experience with generative-AI has been that, at its very best, it is subtly wrong in ways that only an expert in the relevant subject would recognise. So I don't worry about us creating super-intelligent AI, I worry about us allowing that expertise to atrophy through laziness and greed. I refuse to use LLMs not because I'm scared of how clever they are, but because I do not wish to become stupider.

One of the things that makes this a particularly bad look for the UK Gov is that one of the main arguments for staying on Twitter is to keep informed, since a lot of official accounts are still there. In some cases it's the only place they are, unless you want to and have the time to go looking at individual sites for updates/news.
At this point they're creating arguments for users staying on a site that appears to be failing in its safety obligations.

The hyperfocus on free spech as a weapon against fascism is the reason you are going to lose to fascism.

It's absurd to believe that people speaking up about it would have changed anything in Germany. They did, people knew, people just didn't care.

Nobody wants to accept that ordinary people could let it happen knowingly, but the truth is, they all did. Everything was an open secret at best.

Free speech alone isn't going to save you.
