I sit at the intersection of business strategy and emerging tech — when I'm not doing that, I'm gaming or somewhere I've never been before. Currently at Immutable, leading product and market expansion.

The key is to live in a place where the authorities are willing to look the other way for some other rewards.
DiffTheEnder··on AI shopping is years away. The infrastructure isn't
Have spent the past few weeks going through the analyst calls with Shopify, Amazon etc. - curious to hear from anyone inside whether the agentic commerce push is jumping the gun? It seems to be that way from the outside in!
DiffTheEnder··on Bitwarden CLI Compromised in Ongoing Checkmarx Supply Chain Campaign
I wonder if 1Password CLI is a top priority for hackers similarly.

Is this... just one file acting as memory?
DiffTheEnder··on Good Sleep, Good Learning (2012)
Wake up without an alarm clock is surely beneficial regardless of when you go to sleep?
DiffTheEnder··on Google removes "Doki Doki Literature Club" from Google Play
The walled garden approach stifles creativity and robs talented artists of the opportunity to express their work and get paid fairly.

Hope the EU or another progressive regulatory body allows users to fully control what they can/can't download and from where on to the phones they purcahsed.

DiffTheEnder··on Where does all the milk go?
Understand the concern here - I can confirm the diagrams/interactive elements on desktop were AI generated based on a diagram I made in powerpoint. The interactivity and JS elements is not something I'm not going to code myself. I'm a writer/thinker not a frontend dev.

The diagram is almost 1:1 the same except the cheese layout which it chose to do a bit differently. The mobile version of the diagram is an AI driven layout restructure - however still true to my source material.

The writing of the article is entirely my own. I'll choose to take it as a compliment that you think it's too polished haha.

There's something to be said about variety of consistency/taste to excite the tastebuds I think!
DiffTheEnder··on Project Glasswing: Securing critical software for the AI era
They mention that they have humans review the most crticial bugs before sending it to the maintainers in their dev blog.
DiffTheEnder··on Claude Code is locking people out for hours
I'm finding queries are taking about 3x as long as they used to regardless of whether I use Sonnet or Opus (Claude Code on Max)
DiffTheEnder··on Every GPU That Mattered
Do you think it was entirely AI? Surely some human involved to get this sort of layout..
DiffTheEnder··on We found an undocumented bug in the Apollo 11 guidance computer code
Is it possible for a tool to know if something is AI written with high confidence at all? LLMs can be tuned/instructed to write in an infinite number of styles.

Don't understand how these tools exist.

Thanks that’s fair critique. And apologise for the half truth there.

The zero parenting thing is what gets me. Pretty much every other animal we'd call intelligent leans hard on social learning -- crows, primates, parrots all spend ages learning from adults. Octopuses hatch alone, figure everything out solo in 1-2 years, and then die. That's the wild part. If they had even a 5 year lifespan with overlapping generations, honestly no idea where the ceiling would be. Maybe the octopi in captivity could be taught to parent and produce genius octopi?
DiffTheEnder··on Parrots pack twice as many neurons as primate brains of the same mass
This is interesting because I wonder if it compounds. Smaller genome, smaller cells, more neurons in the same volume... and now those neurons are individually more efficient too. The density numbers already seemed hard to explain just from spatial optimisation -- this might be the missing piece? Wonder what research exists here

Ah yeah that's exactly what it was but thought I'd try to add a bit more emotion to this point haha. Even if the parrot said this every night as a good night - its still very sweet that Alex said that every night :)
