They're putting blue food coloring in everything

"Why is my burger blue?" I asked, innocently. "Oh! We're making all of our food blue, all the best restaurants are doing it now." the waiter explained. But I didn't want my burger to be blue.

Tired of Talking About AI
Some great responses to frequent comments.
“Why not at least keep one foot in the pool, in case it is the future?”
- I’m busy, I’m tired, and I have better uses of my time and energy.
“If you don’t start now, you won’t be able to find work soon.”
- If it’s so easy now that anyone can do it, why can’t I pick up the skills later, when I actually need them for employment? https://mastodon.cloud/@paddy/114881760353962528

I turned 35 today, so I'm giving myself a gift. I'm absolving myself of having to think about AI anymore. And I finally wrote about it somewhere durable to free myself from feeling like I need to keep reiterating my position. https://paddy.carvers.com/posts/2025/07/ai/

Excerpts from Vice President J.D. Vance in a 2021 interview: American “conservatives…have lost every major powerful institution in the country, except for maybe churches and religious institutions. We’ve lost big business. We’ve lost finance. We’ve lost the culture….I don’t think there’s sort of a compromise that we’re going to come with the people who currently actually control the country. Unless we overthrow them in some way, we’re going to keep losing.”
