"The recent innovations in the AI space, most notably those such as GPT-4, obviously have far-reaching implications for society, ranging from the utopian eliminating of drudgery, to the dystopian damage to the livelihood of artists in a capitalist society, to existential threats to humanity itself."

A rant that's pretty much about how money-grabbing idiots are slapping AI on any old shit. We all know who they are.

Someone's love letter to how everything is a command in Emacs. I tried to sell this approach for Textual, especially when the idea of a command palette was first raised. Sadly it never came to pass.

I think it would still be an excellent idea.

"At this point, it doesn’t matter if tech executives and VCs believe their own hype and wild claims about what’s next for AI — though I firmly believe that they genuinely buy into the things they’re preaching and chugging their own kool aid — because they’ve made the grand pronouncements, they started their cults, and they promised a future of AGI-powered wonder. They sold equity to investors who give them billions every year, and those investors now expect steady double-digit percentage returns."

A fun (and hopefully concerning) take on the AIification of everything.
