Of all the sci-fi franchises, the most scientifically likely features a slow, resource-hungry, capitalism-driven expansion of humanity, leaving mundane mess in its wake, into a galaxy that features no aliens at all - Red Dwarf.

The cold, hard truth is that AI doesn't make anything easier. It makes everything harder, because AI is fucking everywhere, which means you are constantly having to take extra steps to correct its bullshit mistakes, or turn it off if you are able. Extra steps = time wasted.

Look: I, a US citizen, born and raised in the United States, holder of a valid state ID and federal passport, with no criminal record, am not confident I could pass through a US border checkpoint right now without being harassed or even detained. (I have been critical of Donald Trump in public, and that seems to be all it takes.)
If *I* am not confident about that, imagine how anyone without those credentials must feel.
If you are organizing conferences, meetings, etc. that require people to pass through those checkpoints to attend, you need to grapple with this. You are asking attendees to take a serious personal risk.

Woke up with better, simpler idea for current project that wouldn't involve throwing anything away. Had one extra technical challenge, wasn't sure I'd work it out but found a hacky way while having breakfast 🎉
Might launch today if no other faffy tasks get in the way

This week has really driven home that the word “tariffs” ends with FFS.

Them: Can you explain this gap in your résumé?
Me: I spent six hours formatting it in Google Docs and you’ve opened it in Word.
