My YouTube viewing history on AI will give anyone whiplash. Lots of Zitron and Cal Newport (critical takes.) Lots of Nate B Jones and how-to videos.
I personally use coding agents and see the value in my own productivity. At the same time, the real cost of tokens is prohibitively expensive and the promises being made vs. results delivered are massively mismatched.
It's difficult to reconcile the two things.
I've never seen a technology with so much utility also appear to be a deadend business (unless something changes very soon.)
There's a lot to be hyped about, but it's still somehow overhyped.
Let me know your thoughts if you've personally managed to sort through this or are in the same position.

Needed an extra phone. Nothing fancy, just something cheap.
Made the mistake of picking up a prepaid Verizon phone. 12 hours later, still can't get it activated. The software on the phone seems to get more glitchy everytime I try.
Easily the worst user experience of my life.

Words cannot describe the contempt I have for Guardiola. Scumbag through and through.
🚨 🎙️ Pep Guardiola Reacts To the Death of Jesús de Miguel nd incident that caused the death of the 30-year old CD Tenerife striker;
🗣️ "First of all, my deepest condolences to the family of Jesús de Miguel, to everyone at CD Tenerife, and to all of Spanish football. It is heartbreaking. A tragedy.
We won’t blame the goalkeeper, Jesús Owono, because it was never his intention to hurt anyone. He is a professional doing his job, and I am sure he is suffering terribly right now. But we have to reflect and teach players that football is not a do or die affair. These are the kind of aggressive tackles we used to see, the ones Sergio Ramos and Pepe were cheered on for at Real Madrid—when defenders go into challenges crossing the line. You don't play a football match like a war. Football is meant to be enjoyed, not played to cause pain or put a colleague's life at risk. It’s so sad that Miguel lost his life this way, and his whole career came to an end just because of one incident. We must protect the players.
So, to the family and the entire CD Tenerife, our thoughts are with you. Rest in peace, Jesús."

No way Kate Scott just introduced Micah Richards this way, she's absolutely done him again...

Now @Sony is at a crossroads following all the @PlayStation 5 hacks.
Do they double down on deeply unpopular policies, to squeeze a few more dollars out of their customers, or do they embrace a more open model and roll with it?
There IS a right and a wrong answer.
We've seen this before.

Genuinely incredible video from Above The Toon on TikTok. The sheer amount of tributes left are a stark reminder of just how important Kevin Keegan was to the region. Really hard not to get emotional seeing it.
The death of Keegan, followed by the exit of Eddie Howe, and the complete dismantling of the team that won us a cup makes it feel like several eras of Newcastle United are over at once.
I'm not optimistic for the season. Let's see if we can get some solid foundations.

Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes.
Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.
#england and #argentina as close as expected. Argentina playing as dirty as expected. Now we just need some goals.

As an Englishman it pains me how many weapons this #france team has. They're the team to beat.

Four minutes in and #france already knocking at the door. #morocco going to have their work cut out for them.

Whoever came up with this idea should get a raise. Henry and Ibra ragging on Alexi is probably the highlight of the WC so far.
