#TheGrammys are adding a “Best Asian Pop” category. For the latin pop category “Tracks… need to be predominantly in the Spanish language", so if Asian artists make a song that is mostly or completely in English & is a global success (like #kpopdemonhunters Golden or most of the new #BTS album) is it boxed into the Asian category? There’s only one right answer.

Using Claude, Codex, or Cursor? My opensource ariaknowledge.com plugin showed: - 78% of prevention of non-trivial issues pre-execution. – 44% reduction in turns to reach a correct production fix. – 20–60K+ token savings per session, up to ~150K on refactor arcs. And more! See my preliminary value analysis for ARIA on Claude Code. Evidence base is N=1 but the numbers are concrete. Read the full analysis at github.com/mikeprasad/aria-k…

Built a knowledge kit for my #Claude projects and developed it into a knowledge and applied reasoning tool I’m calling ARIA. A plugin for auto knowledge capture, human-in-the-loop validation, and active enforced contextual reasoning at every code change. Stores in markdown so works perfectly with @obsdmd Free and open source at github.com/mikeprasad/aria-k…

Platforms like this should create accessibility, equitable distribution, and respect each participating individual’s choices. They should not be used to weaponize rhetoric by on or a few individuals over hundreds of millions of others. By definition, that is an autocracy bordering on authoritarianism.

I often find that that the people most heralding AI as the future of everything are the same people avoiding current responsibility for anything. (And for context, I work in the space, but I see very few high-utility ethical implementations.)

The future of gaming is UGE (user generated experience), UGC is a fundamentally limiting concept.

The new generational shift from consumption economics to creation economics will upend every industry.

Reading AI headlines & it can definitely become a threat, but it's not a default outcome. The monumental underlying issue is that most industries operate on an anachronistic economic model & most people don't differentiate between actual skill + reasoning versus memorization.

Tell me when mass enforcing one culture's ideologies on anothers' has ever led to anything but atrocities?

An entire generation of new wealth built on revolting against toxic "old ways" are now trying to enforce equally toxic "new ways" that aren't so new anymore. Ironic on countless levels.

Sad & concerning to see how elitist tech culture/silicon valley hubris/crypto toxicity are surfacing today, almost exclusively from a certain generation. I fear we're near a point of no return, where a small but powerful group of people destroy America due to their own self-serving myopia.

*Designs a cool rounded corner button with gradient borders, gradient text, and a transparent background in @figma, then goes code it.. and it doesn't work.* *Spends all weekend reading dozens of articles on the internet saying how it's technically impossible, and falling behind schedule..* 10pm Sunday night: "I FIGURED IT OUT!" *Excited but doesn't know any other technical obsessed UI/UX designers to tell.. tweets into the void.* #howispentmyholidayweekend #goodnight
