I write and talk for a living. Which sounds pretty dumb looking at it now.

I’m leading a three hour workshop for a client in person. The company is very casual.

My instinct is to wear a suit, but they’re so casual, I worry it could come off weird.

I could do business casual.

I don’t know. Opinions welcome.

Sam Altman: “Instead, [of creating all sorts of benefits for the world ourselves], it now looks like we’ll create AI and then other people will use it to create all sorts of amazing things that we all benefit from.”

Companies who just want to use AI to lay people off:

Had the chance to catch up with some of the youngs the other night so I can pass on this hot tip.

Apparently [looks around], saying someone is “locked in" is a good thing. Saying you are not "locked in" is bad. Example given by one of the youngs:

"I stopped by the Locked In factory. They've never heard of you.”

Please feel free to use that in good health and with my sincerest felicitations!

@joesteel Also, Joe, if you believe a chap to be rather ineffective in his manner you may say to him "You don't know ball.” Real tips from real youngs!

Me this morning: Ugh, I should have taken more pictures.

Do you think anyone at Slack ever works on trying to get message read states to sync or do you think they’ve just completely given up on that shit ever working?

@joesteel They're too busy redesigning the interface to make it more complicated. Also probably putting AI in there, I'm sure.

@tvaziri This one exemplifies a pet peeve of mine with Framed. First frame: “Well, it could be any number of westerns.” Second frame: “It's this particular one, IDIOT.” Which is to say I got this one in two.

Discover is the only financial institution I've ever been a customer of that names its PDF statements in a way that they sort correctly by date. Every other one I pedantically rename.

[Meeting at my bank some years ago]

Developer 1: What's the best naming convention to use for these PDF account statements, keeping in mind that users will have multiple accounts and probably want to sort them by date?

Developer 2: Hmm.

Developer 1: Hmm.

Developer 2: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Developer 1: Are you thinking BANK NAME - DAY OF MONTH - THREE FIRST LETTERS OF MONTH NAME - YEAR?!

Developer 2: YESSSSS.

As someone who buys his own health insurance every year, what's super cool is when you spend hours picking a plan that covers your providers and then just a few months into the year the insurance company send you a letter saying they're no longer covering those providers effective immediately. I find that to be very cool. It's just a fun, exciting perk of our world-class healthcare... “system” is the wrong word. “Needlessly expensive Rube Goldberg machine.” That's more like it.

@macgnys @dmoren @tvaziri By the way, I fucking love that jacket he's wearing. A blazer raincoat with a hood zipped into the collar. I looked for it after Avengers came out and found it but it was like $1,800.

@joesteel Joe, I just spent $200 on a new router. The time is clearly not now.
