Molotov cocktails are just the technological reality now. You can adapt your workflows to them or get left behind.

At my company every employee has to use at least one per day. It’s a vibrant and competitive field full of potential.

I don't think AI will ever be "gone". We can't put the slop genie back in the bottle. But what WILL happen, it Has to happen, is that the costs per token will skyrocket as the free money runs out. There's just no other economics way for this to happen. And then all the slop engineers are going to discover: they don't know how to code without burning a million tokens a day, and all those tokens are costing more than double their salaries. So employers are going to discover: we can just hire 3 people for the price of one slop engineer and all their tokens.

> Damned if I know what’s going to happen. I mean, at some level, I think that the civilization that may be destroyed tonight is our own. I mean, are we civilized if we do this kind of thing? If America as a nation doesn’t stand up against this, what are we?

In the last day US & Israeli strikes across Iran & Tehran have killed more than 25 people—including at least 7 children. This in addition to the 1600-1900 Iranians killed so far.

None of this makes Americans safer. None of this makes life more affordable. None of this adheres to US or international law. Donald Trump is spending $1B a day to murder Iranian children while American children go hungry. Impeach and remove him from office before he escalates, which he will.

> We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.
