FUN FACT:

If no one uses OpenAI, OpenAI dies.

The same goes for many Big Tech corporations and their platforms.

We are the ones that set the expiration dates.

Tell your friends.
Tell everyone you know.

Everyone that leaves them erases their existence a little more, and deepens community another day. Feels good to break up with Big Tech, doesn’t it?

"The first phase of an integrated solar and battery project under construction in the Philippines has been officially synchronised and energised, less than 15 months since groundbreaking and on the way to becoming the world’s largest such project.

The massive MTerra Solar project, when it is fully completed, will boast 3.5-gigawatts (GW) of solar and 4.5-gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage."

Great discussion on the use of agentic AI on the last episode. One thing that I didn’t think you got to address (unless I daydreamed over it) is this issue of programming “cognitive debt”. Wondering what your thoughts are on it. It’s easy foretell that such debt can also lead to other debts earlier in the process, such as “spec development” debt, or even earlier, as in “problem definition” debt. And there’s the big danger of, as with most debts ignored to grow uncontrollably, complete cognitive bankruptcy. A valid concern?

“Power resides where men believe it resides. No more and no less.”

“It’s easy to confuse ‘what is’ with ‘what ought to be,’ especially when ‘what is’ has worked out in your favor.”

“Life isn’t a song, sweetling. You may learn that one day, to your sorrow.”
- Petyr Baelish (Littlefinger)

LOTR: moral authority precedes power.
GOT: power precedes moral authority.

While Martin’s worldview prevails for most of human history, I believe Tolkien’s hope disrupts this cycle every once in a while so we survive in the end.
