“I am at the moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century. When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip.” ― John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces (Ok, it's two sentences, but I smile every time I think of it.)

Generalizing this: excessively optimizing a complex system on a dimension causes its new pathologies.
A recurring theme of these is the metrics we choose to pursue will often predict (and in some cases, fairly directly cause) the pathologies of our programs.
The commodification and automation of output will increase the premium on novelty, judgement and nuance.
ai ain’t taking everyone’s jobs, let’s be real. what it’s actually doing is making the human touch worth its weight in gold. when a single prompt can spit out a track, live acts and real bands are gonna hit harder than ever, trust me. as prompt-to-video tech blows up, live…

“I prefer true but imperfect knowledge, even if it leaves much undetermined and unpredictable, to a pretense of exact knowledge that is likely to be false.” — Friedrich Hayek
I love AI assistance for editing transcripts but goodness does it sandblast a lot of my verbal style out by default.
Social science research is sifting through piles of garbage to find bits of gold - good research ideas. If you sift through garbage your classmates are also sifting, you won't find any gold. If you sift un-sifted garbage, you still probably won't, but you have a nonzero chance

Look what just passed the House and is now going to the Senate.
2023 FCC: Claims that Starlink is not capable of providing high-speed Internet to thousands of people as the reason for revoking an $885M award to the company. 2024 FCC: Claims that Starlink provides so much high-speed Internet that the word monopoly should be tossed out there.

All across Alaska, people are seeing signs like this in stores. Why? Because a single ship, the North Star, is temporarily down for repairs. Why would a single ship being down cause a shortage crisis for an entire state? Because thanks to a ridiculous law that passed 104 years…
This is the WORST thing to say when pitching me an idea:
I’m not saying E2E/advanced integration etc tests are not valuable. Just that in my case: they turned out to be less valuable than I thought hey would be. What turned out to be more valuable: great monitoring & alerting systems. In the end, prod being healthy is what matters.
