The netherlands, land of incompetent. I rarely saw a person who does their job properly. Even rarer to see one of them notices this. They half-ass everything and probably barely manage to sustain society from the exploited gold from their colonies a couple of centuries ago.

@NTFabiano once again; correlation != causation

🤯BREAKING: Alibaba just proved that AI Coding isn't taking your job, it's just writing the legacy code that will keep you employed fixing it for the next decade. 🤣 Passing a coding test once is easy. Maintaining that code for 8 months without it exploding? Apparently, it’s nearly impossible for AI. Alibaba tested 18 AI agents on 100 real codebases over 233-day cycles. They didn't just look for "quick fixes"—they looked for long-term survival. The results were a bloodbath: 75% of models broke previously working code during maintenance. Only Claude Opus 4.5/4.6 maintained a >50% zero-regression rate. Every other model accumulated technical debt that compounded until the codebase collapsed. We’ve been using "snapshot" benchmarks like HumanEval that only ask "Does it work right now?" The new SWE-CI benchmark asks: "Does it still work after 8 months of evolution?" Most AI agents are "Quick-Fix Artists." They write brittle code that passes tests today but becomes a maintenance nightmare tomorrow. They aren't building software; they're building a house of cards. The narrative just got honest: Most models can write code. Almost none can maintain it.

50% of all relationship advice on Reddit is “leave.” 15 years of data, 52 million comments, and the trend line only goes one direction. A researcher filtered r/relationship_advice down to 1,166,592 quality comments and tracked what people actually recommend. In 2010, “End Relationship” sat around 30%. By 2025, it’s approaching 50%. “Communicate” dropped from 22% to 14%. “Compromise” collapsed from 7% to 3%. “Give Space” fell from 25% to 13%. Every category that requires patience lost ground every single year. The one category growing faster than “leave” is “Seek Therapy,” which went from 1% to 6%. The subreddit is slowly learning to say “this is above my pay grade.” Train a model on this dataset and it would absolutely tell people to break up. The training data is 50% “leave” and climbing. The model wouldn’t be broken. It would be accurately reflecting what 52 million commenters actually believe about your relationship. A 50% prior that you should leave, a 14% prior that you should talk about it, and a 6% prior that you need a professional. That’s not LLM psychosis. That’s the median human opinion on your relationship, backed by the largest advice dataset ever assembled.

LLM that keeps telling people to break up because it’s been trained on relationship advice subreddits

This is awful, but the situation among the plumbers is even worse: women represent only about 2.1% to 5.3% of the plumbing workforce in the U.S. and below 1% worldwide. Something has to be done with this glaring inequality!

It's safe to say that as of 2025 AI overall is a massive net negative for the world: - software got much worse - hardware prices are through the roof - we're drowning in AI slop - IP as a concept is pretty much dead - youth is already cooked in all possible ways Some individuals got rich thanks to it, good for them. Maybe it's one of those things where it gets worse before it gets better, but it really doesn't look that good now does it.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I

We noticed employees kept saying they were “tired” and “burned out”. We didn’t want to ignore that. So we started sending a survey every morning at 8am: “How are you feeling today?” - Great - Good - Fine There is no fourth option. Anyone who doesn’t respond by 8:15am is marked as “Low Commitment” in their HR file. Mental health is important. You just have to measure it correctly.

Happy weekend to those who celebrate

What it's like to watch AI fix a bug

@TimurNegru I am going to buy this place then fortify it to defend against the mafia. Cause the only reason this is a bargain must be either mafia or something worse.

Last month my intern asked for help with a Kubernetes error. He was stuck on a YAML file. He looked desperate. I make $275,000 a year. I haven't written a line of code since 2017. I don't even know what a "pod" is. But I didn't tell him that. I leaned back in my Herman Miller chair. I said, "Stop trying to code. Start prompting." I told him to paste the error into ChatGPT. He did. The AI told him to delete the cluster. He did. Production went down instantly. The CEO called me screaming. I didn't panic. I told the CEO we were "testing our disaster recovery protocols." He was impressed by my foresight. I got a bonus. The intern got fired. Innovation requires sacrifice. Just not mine.
