As far as I can suss out, AI software development proponents admit that there will be a lot of slop code written, but somehow the good code will prevail in the end.

Trump administration threatens to demolish Kennedy Center if renovations are blocked

The arrogance of these people continues to be beyond astounding. Now they’re arguing (in a court of law, mind you) that (1) if they can’t close the Center for 2 years, it will need to be torn down and (2) if they can’t put Trump’s name on it, they won’t get enough donations to pay for renovations and it will need to be torn down.

This truly is the stupidest timeline.

“Tiny Wildlife”

Is there any good alternative to Google Lens? “Here’s an image, tell me what it might be” is about the last thing I use Google for and I’d like to stop.

I (thankfully) don’t remember much from my career in software development, but for some reason my all-time favorite code comment came to mind this morning:
