I've written a version of this rant several times, but I didn't write this version. This prompt did: "Write a 6 paragraph essay in the style of DHH about why microservice architectures are bad for small teams." I followed up with 2x "Make it more polemic", but I didn't change a comma. The emdashes gave it away for some, but without those, I think even fewer would have been able to tell. And here's the kicker: It's actually pretty good? Take this point: "Instead of reasoning about code, teams reason about failure modes, retries, timeouts, message queues, and versioned payloads. The cognitive load compounds with every new service." Spot on, nicely framed! What does that mean? Is AI still slop when it makes good points? Or when it produces an essay that resonates with thousands of people in just a few hours? I've locked the tweet, because I do feel ambivalent about humans unwittingly interacting with AI writing, but why do we? It's not at all clear this isn't just a transitionary phase, like when it felt scary for most to enter this credit card on the early internet. Here's the the full interaction with the versions produced before prompting for "more polemic": https://t.co/z7lBti14di

Great speaking with @SECPaulSAtkins at @BlockchainAssn policy summit yesterday. Couldn't be more clear that he recognizes the importance of enabling tokenized securities to transact on open and decentralized networks. Big things ahead.

“Quora, but Chinese” actually sounds like the highest alpha per character website on Earth. Quora would be amazing too, if not for high-variance low-median human capital and scummy owners. We need a systematic mirror for Zhihu.
We're in a race. It's not USA vs China but humans and AGIs vs ape power centralization. @deepseek_ai stan #1, 2023–Deep Time «C’est la guerre.» ®1

Pro tip: Send screenshots from Apple Health and Athlytics to Gemini and ask it to summarize general fitness and health and highlight positive markers as well as what to work on. Incredible.
