Three years ago, I earned $500k/year in tech. Today, I’m homeless, living in my car. 28 years of experience. Three technical books. AI engineer since the 1990s. And I can’t find a job. My story is a warning about the future of work. medium.com/effortless-progra… #AI #FutureOfWork

my product works. people who try it like it. the problem was never the product — nobody's selling it. gave Explee the link. it found the buyers and emailed them for me. turns out the fix was just doing the selling. try it free — $30 credits 👇 explee.com/auto-gtm/x/tw-ag6…

As a software developer, this has not been my experience
BREAKING: Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs, per the Guardian.

My favorite thing is when someone sends me something I have already seen so I don't have to watch it and I can just react.

Unpopular opinion, but if your IPO filing says your product might end humanity, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to operate.
Anthropic has filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC related to its proposed IPO. Read more: anthropic.com/news/s1-sec Legal disclaimer: A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This post does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The image attached to this post is fabricated and does not appear in Anthropic's actual S-1 filing with the SEC, which lists standard business and AI risks but contains no such statement about the "core product may end humanity." sec.gov/Archives/edgar… anthropic.com/news/s1-sec

You can convert any USB-only printer to AirPrint using a cheap ESP32-S3 😉 No Raspberry Pi required!

"AI Bubble" is not about the utility of the service. It's about the debt of AI companies.
I’m arguing with my dad, he keeps saying AI is a bubble. And I keep telling him you have no idea what you’re talking about. People on the outside do not understand what it means when in 2 days you do 2 months of work. Normie brain can’t compute this. We are so early.

Had to get a second opinion about some dental work. I have never ever got a second opinion. I'm glad I did, but now I'm so angry and filled with anxiety!

Things don’t magically become hackable. The vulnerabilities have been out there all along. The AI is just better at finding them out now
