joshcsimmons··on The AI Industry Is Lying to You
Agreed. I'm trying to speak up about this more as an engineer https://youtu.be/cJYAK6csXso
joshcsimmons··on The AI Industry Is Lying to You
I'll plug my own content as a response to Ed. I have worked in engineering for a while now. I did code and continue to. How a PR guy has become the face of this story is beyond me https://youtu.be/cJYAK6csXso

FWIW I have been trying to interview Ed about this for ages but he has ignored all of our requests.

joshcsimmons··on Silicon Valley's "Pronatalists" Killed WFH. The Strait of Hormuz Brought It Back
Not to mention safe neighborhood!
joshcsimmons··on Mexican Forces Kill Nation's Most-Wanted Cartel Boss
Puerto Vallarta is on fire - seeing tons of videos on my timeline.
joshcsimmons··on Zuckerberg's "fix" for child safety could end anonymous internet access for all
This was the intent all along people.
joshcsimmons··on Nvidia and OpenAI abandon unfinished $100B deal in favour of $30B investment
Ed's background is PR not engineering FWIW.
joshcsimmons··on Show HN: Perlin Noise Terminal Animation in Rust (60 FPS, Truecolor)
This is mine, I guess… I asked openclaw to remind me to post it. Looks like it tried to optimize my request.
joshcsimmons··on Rentahuman – The Meatspace Layer for AI
I've been following your work for a bit now, congrats on the launch!
joshcsimmons··on Show HN: ÆTHRA – Writing Music as Code
biggest pet-peeve on strudel - no "type"checking for chord names, like what if I write "Xm" as a chord - I should be aware of this in the REPL. Does AETHRA solve?
joshcsimmons··on The $100B megadeal between OpenAI and Nvidia is on ice
The circular funding scheme is finally becoming evident to people. Did my best to cover it in a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5fSbuO8Q3k
joshcsimmons··on CISA’s acting head uploaded sensitive files into public version of ChatGPT
This is a very good question. Seems like it would negatively affect our security posture.
joshcsimmons··on CISA’s acting head uploaded sensitive files into public version of ChatGPT
It’s from UT Arlington - does that even count?
joshcsimmons··on Notice of collective action lawsuit against Workday, Inc.
I covered this for my channel yesterday and was surprised how widespread this is. Like most people are likely affected.

joshcsimmons··on Things I've learned in my 10 years as an engineering manager
Correct on all points! Very well put - you sound like an excellent manager.

As always the difficulty is in getting people outside your team to realize that the 60% cheerleading bit is crucial, many will see this as a waste of time that doesn't create "business value", as if the only business value was measured in lines of code.

joshcsimmons··on Vargai/SDK – JSX for AI video, declarative programming language for Claude Code
Looks phenomenal - do any docs exist past the marketing page? or llms.txt?
joshcsimmons··on Claude Code Outage: Auth Issues
Noticed when my CC session got booted this morning. Trying to log back in takes me to the web auth page. Clicking Authorize doesn't do anything until much later at which point it says you're good to go but CC reports a 500 error.
joshcsimmons··on Claude is good at assembling blocks, but still falls apart at creating them
Thanks dude
joshcsimmons··on Claude is good at assembling blocks, but still falls apart at creating them
Thank you - I’ve been working on this since you commented it. It’s cached so I never saw it on my end
joshcsimmons··on Gaussian Splatting – A$AP Rocky "Helicopter" music video
Thanks I’m neurodivergent how could you tell?
joshcsimmons··on Comic-Con Bans AI Art After Artist Pushback
That sucks but it’s pretty much always been like this as technology advances. You can either fight the tide or go with it like Warhol did. He pivoted to doing more photographs later in his career because it was easier to make more art.

Art != business. They are separate things and only heartbreak will ensue when you operate on the assumption that artistic values is business value.

joshcsimmons··on Internet voting is insecure and should not be used in public elections
That seems common sense. It’s wild that this is an extremist position in the US now.
joshcsimmons··on Comic-Con Bans AI Art After Artist Pushback
Absolutely idiotic take - ban drawing tablets too? What about paintbrushes?
joshcsimmons··on Ask HN: Burned out from tech, what else is there?
I had this dream for a bit but you only make $65k doing it.
joshcsimmons··on Gaussian Splatting – A$AP Rocky "Helicopter" music video
Why is that “cool” or desirable?
joshcsimmons··on We put Claude Code in Rollercoaster Tycoon
Interesting this is on the ramp.com domain? I'm surprised in this tech market they can pay devs to hack on Rollercoaster Tycoon. Maybe there's some crossover I'm missing but seems like a sweet gig honestly.
joshcsimmons··on CDC staff 'blindsided' as child vaccine schedule unilaterally overhauled
Japan has a different medical system, different levels of adherence, different cultural hygiene standards, different exposure risk profiles for different pathogens.

I mean kind of? They have a booming tourist industry which seems to negate your hypothesis.

IDK I've been using opus 4.5 to create a UI library and it's been doing pretty well: https://simsies.xyz/ (still early days)

Granted it was building ontop of tailwind (shifting over to radix after the layoff news). Begs the question? What is a lego?

joshcsimmons··on AI generated music barred from Bandcamp
lol strange line in the sand to draw.

Izotope Ozone uses AI to mix and master - for some reason that’s okay but you can’t actually generate the sounds with AI? Or what if I generate the notes with AI then use my own synth presets is that allowed?

joshcsimmons··on Let's be honest, Generative AI isn't going all that well
Huh?

Seems like black and white thinking to me. I had it make suggestions for 10 triage issues for my team today and agreed with all of its routings. That’s certainly better than 6 months ago.
