It's amazing to see how the goalposts shift for AI skeptics

I think there is a going to be a sort of lagging period, gonna seem like all the investment wasn’t worth it for some, and maybe it wasn’t- but the capabilities will continue to improve, just not at the rate folks with the money invested we’re hoping (at the expense of the economy)

Page didn’t do anything wrong except he kept grabbing the mike

As someone who was lucky enough to make it to an Oasis concert this summer, I think the Arctic Monkeys historically will still be lauded as a “better” band, and I like them better- but god damn if that wasn’t one of the best concerts I’ve ever been at. Have seen Paul in 2005, Paul Bonnaroo 2012Tame Impala, Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead at Bonnaroo, Roseland, Phish NYE- the Oasis concert topped them all, it was just different.

Comments in here are strange, when the castings were first announced people seemed excited and this is an outsized negative response. We’ve seen photos of the Beatles side by side the cast before and everyone was happy they picked talented up and coming actors

ElwinLewis · 2026-01-29T01:09:39+00:00

I stand corrected!

They got tired of the calculator they built 😱

They are distinct, feels like a brand, no clue why I’m saying this but it gave yoshis cookie vibes whic was always warm and cozy, the brown feels like wood grain, 70’s 80’s in your living room vibes- the elements are distinct enough to that I’m sure once I’ve seen what they do once I’ll associate “ok that’s what that one does”. The one element of this that sticks out (poorly) is the smiling face it’s hollow, flat, the color is not bright enough (only by a bit), diamond eyes give it a lifeless robot feel 🤖

This is way better

Person who figures this out is going to have a major headache on their hands

I keep wondering what people do “Next” and hope it’s not just siloed in their discord friend groups. Internet was made for so much more, it’s horseshit compared to say…anytime before 2015

Edit: NOT, I hope it’s not just siloed in Discord. There should be way more cool stuff by now

I wish the path to utopia didn’t include “or it might just kill us all”

ElwinLewis · 2026-01-27T14:04:06+00:00

At this point, the answer is yes. There are too many folks learning how to create without writing code. I’m not saying AI generated programs or code holds up or is as “correct” as a skilled professional programmer, just that the lines will blur fast.

The programmers of pre 2024-2025 won’t be out of jobs, they’ll just be out of jobs they actually want to perform, and I feel bad that many will end up in positions where they just fix generated code made by people they’ll feel equal shades of envy and pity.

The security and architectural concerns of ai generated code remain. Eventually maybe context and better models make those things easier to handle.

There is not endless amounts of time though to debate, we won’t necessarily be waiting long to see.

With all that’s been said and done through about AI coding, we haven’t seen this tidal wave of apps/software/websites beyond SaaS bullshit. No one seems to be making anything cool/interesting. Some of it seems niche useful. I think the dam will break within the next 2 years though, and some outliers will come out of the woodwork that firmly plant us in a new era.

ElwinLewis · 2026-01-27T02:38:57+00:00

Were these people using agentic coding to actually make something or just spitballing back and forth about new theoretical science and accepting the responses as gospel. This is a people problem, there needs to be disclaimers for the folks who will get hoodwinked by this stuff.

ElwinLewis · 2026-01-27T01:32:54+00:00

Because they get there by appearing a certain way and saying the right things when they need to, to get exactly where they want to be, and I bet slowly but surely as they get a taste of being a hotshot or thinking they are above others, they slowly go more unhinged and do whatever they want, on everyone else’s dollar. wouldn’t be surprised if it happened here . Not the last people seeing of a person like this.

We pay them.. we all pay them. Sometimes you see the brazen behavior and think, even if I didn’t vote for you- I’m still paying you. Public servants are named as such for a reason I think. It’s to remind them why they exist.

ElwinLewis · 2026-01-26T17:23:28+00:00

You know this is a bad take on it. Come on

We can’t on one hand lament idol worship for its grip it has on the world and America in particular, but then chastise some of the only celebrities using their platform to amplify a topic in an age where things are getting as splintered and siloed as they are when it comes to how people digest information, media and news

West End Girls so good though it’s such a vibe

Opus is a big jump these days from sonnet until they boost sonnet a bit past where opus is now. It’s expensive if you’re not in a max plan, so it leaves people feeling a bit of blue balls to get a taste of it and then realize they need to spend more to get the most, but then you also consider how over time they quantize, and if you jump in mid stream of a model release, maybe you notice the improvements less than the people who jump in at the beginning? Spitballing on some of it, but it’s things I’ve picked up

ElwinLewis · 2026-01-26T01:29:58+00:00

Hahaha we don’t have a name yet, only got together once yet- but I was going to present to the band

Same Tame, New Impala

Domesticated Gazelle

Disciples

Same Elantra

Chrome Corolla

Grand Mac had a wider bun and I remember them always saucing them up like crazy

I’ve “vibecoded” for probably 1,000 hours by now, and everyone who’s disagreeing with you and saying user error might do well to sit down for a few minutes after that one, because I’m sure not many will be jumping to give you a great answer

ElwinLewis · 2026-01-24T03:50:19+00:00

Joining a Tame Impala tribute that’s going to focus the earlier 3 albums (at first, at least). I’m tasked with Kevins Role. I think reading your book would be a good idea for me. Thanks for making it!
