This morning it is all @jonnytrobro.bsky.social band RIAN on the playlist. open.spotify.com/artist/2juVs...

Our global society seem to want to emulate som version of Neal Stephenson’s Diamond Age. LLMs as the primer, cults camouflaged as political movements (Phyles). No nanotech in sight yet, but who knows?

One of my all time favorite authors. His last interview (I think).

Association for Scottish Literature@asls.org.uk

“I mean, your society’s broken… Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks died #OTD, 9 June, 2013 www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...

I will never look at a sandy beach the same way again. We take sand and make silicon, that can power your life or help you think.

I liked The Rest is Politics (best Europe political podcast team IMHO) interview with Jack Clark at Anthropic podcasts.apple.com/se/podcast/t...

Legends, on Netflix. A proper Brit cops and drugdealers story. Just like only the Brits can make em.

A lake, a river or a Forrest should be able to get a legal guardian, just like a minor without parents. www.politico.eu/article/poll...

Rufus Wainwright and the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, absolutely cracking concert for a full house.

Many things can be said about this, but the engineering is impressive. www.spacex.com/content/star...

Nice article about social media research. arstechnica.com/science/2026...

So what is the new slacking off statement for developers? ”Waiting for tokens!” xkcd.com/303/

Love nearly net zero electricity days at home ☀️

It’s fabulous to pull together great musicians for a night. Nalen Club #MetalAfterWork with @rianisalive.bsky.social Disdained and Yellow Blend.

This was a great way to describe LLMs for coding “Software is like Demonology.” www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/s...

Prepping for a gig with three bands tonight at Nalen Club. RIAN, Disdained and Yellow Blend. Healthy distraction from stuff in the world.

As someone who has worked with software devs all my worklife, agents like Claude, coding for me according to my specs is quite… well, interesting. I don’t see that anyone get less work as a result. Rather I think we will become much more productive. Thanks to @monkchips.com for getting me started.

Something interesting is happening with AI in online communities, in this specific case Reddit in /r/printsf , a subreddit with discussions about printed science fiction and fantasy books. It appears that AI bots are seeding statements that at a first glance seem legitimate 1/?

Depressing how the one way bubble* around the Valley generate these business leaders * it is like nothing of the real world makes it into the bubble arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

”It is a good day to read a book” and my choice today is Empire Games by @cstross.bsky.social In between waiting for more tokens from Claude Code for the multi-player hex-based war game I am building. Fun! 😜

Our heat pump (from a borehole) broke so we heated the house with electricity for a few weeks :( €€€ Now the modern replacement is in (the old compressor lasted 25 years). Notice the difference from last week? Starting on Thursday. :)
