You must picture Sam Altman holding a knife to Tim Berner-Lee's throat. We are in a truly existential level of danger when it comes to the survival of the open web, across every front. This year is when it all comes to a head. https://anildash.com/2026/03/27/endgame-open-web/

Then something for the #Verilog and #Factorio crowd to bond over: a tool for taking a Verilog chip design and putting into the game... as a functional factory.

Demos of its capabilities go all the way up to a 32-bit #RISCV CPU...

I personally consider "I asked ChatGPT to generate a response to you" not witty but a form of an insult. Don't do that please. If that is how you want to talk to people at least don't tell me. It's offensive.

Adults Lose Skills to AI. Children Never Build Them.

Discussions of cognitive offloading often miss a critical distinction: What AI does to a 45-year-old's brain is categorically different from what it does to a 14-year-old's.

in case you need a taste of how fucked the tech industry is right now, I'm being required to use AI at work. if I talk about how it fucks up or overcomplicates basic asks, it's because I "don't know how to use it" which indicates a "lack of growth mindset", and thus poor performance. I've been told this directly to my face, starting immediately.

so not only must I use Claude, I have to cover for Claude's mistakes, and then go the extra mile to pass off my own work as Claude's.

Edit: I was annoyed with how crappily low-resolution the imgflip version was (and how they use nearest-neighbor for scaling down their images!), so I recreated the meme entirely in #LibreOffice Draw, saved it at roughly 2.5 times the resolution of the original, and used #WebP compression to make it 1,029 bytes smaller than the original JPEG!! 💪
