the ceos pushing ai are constantly talking about how ai can get rid of jobs and then getting rid of jobs and saying that it's because of ai and the widespread notion that ai is bad for jobs is the most obvious result one could imagine

we'll get some absolute numbers where ai generates a trillion dollars of gdp but everyone hates it because they didn't get any of that money and it's still being promoted by the most unlikeable anticharismatic guys on the planet and it'll be a tough intellectual argument why

anti-ai sentiment is going to be the new vibecession storyline maybe

great! my main wants are:

- get off of 0.x versioning, start using wide ranges
- ship pure esm modules, these triple-decker npm modules are unnecessarily big

the current status quo is:

- most of the opentelemetry npm modules are 0-versioned
- there are a ton of them
- tons of modules rely on them
- hence: dependency hell guaranteed

someone really needs to write an alternative implementation of the opentelemetry sdk

haha, such a key part of mastodon is that you CHOOSE the niche dysfunctional community that you join at the start, just getting plopped into one would be wild

the chaotic middle ground which would be kind of funny is if the bluesky signup page just round-robined each new user to a different service

there are fully decentralized apps in which everyone's a node that require desktop apps and setup and have lots of limitations, and there are easy to use apps in which everyone's by default centralized but has the option to become a node and only a sliver of people are going to do that

yeah! i'll be there on the early side though have to head out around 10!

It also makes it really fun publishing new posts, since I'm then eagerly awaiting what kinda front-page my agent comes up with.

Did you know that @vitest.dev has an Agent reporter? 🤖 

Instead of outputting all the details, it ensures only the failing tests and summary are sent to your agent. That means less tokens used and less information overload.

Since Vitest 4.1 this is the default when detecting an agent.

fun new game I play with myself at random: when a phrase pops into my head that I think would be a good name for a podcast, I look it up, and it almost always already exists

(today “Funny Business” came to mind which I imagined as a behind-the-scenes show about the work life of a comedian)
