a simpler time

A Timehop reminder of a meme I modified 7 years ago. It’s an illustration of a metronome that shows the rod at each end, with arrows demonstrating motion. At one end the caption is “should designers code?” and at the other end, “is css a programming language”

Andy Bell@bell· 7d

drawing arrows with my trackball looks like guy fawkes signature after being tortured

Extremely shaky arrow that's split in half, with the text "Same content"

An old meme where one character looks menacingly at another while putting their hand on the other's shoulder

referring to twitter as "X", earnestly

A huge screen in a stadium, showing a VAR decision check. The word "Hard Drive" has been superimposed over what I imagine is "off side" or "goal"

Andy Bell@bell· Jun 17

just checking in on the football

A lovely move from Austria results in a chance for Marko Arnautovic.

A cross-cum-shot from him takes a deflection off a Jordan defender and almost loops in. Eventually going for a corner.

Zelda Ocarina of Time gameplay. The Deku tree has opened their mouth door and the caption reads “then enter, brave Link, and thou too, Navi”

because that unavoidable technology that's going to take over everything needs selling via paid linkedin spam messages lol, lmao even

A LinkedIn spam message that reads:

Hey Andy,

Notion is rolling out new collaborative agentic features for productivity all year. It's never been a better time to learn and use Notion's next level Al tools for work.

We'd be happy to offer you a Free 3 Month Trial for work and Free 1 Month Trial for home use. You can add up to 100 people to each Notion Workspace so invite your colleagues!

It's going to be brutal. A lot of people's lives are going to be ruined and people have to be held to account or this will happen again. From bell.bz/wrapping-up-...

Here’s what I’m asking people to do to take the “shine” off LLMs in the tech industry:

- Constantly and consistently post when it goes wrong. This could be on your blog or social media. Post anyway.
- When people (especially people who are paid to peddle this technology) post claims: challenge them to provide evidence and prove their claims. It might sound harsh, but it’s long overdue that “thought leaders” in our industry are held to account for the effects of their influence.
- Create a culture of shame for AI boosting.
- Never forgive and especially never forget those who have boosted and vocally supported this technology. Unless there are consequences, we’ll continue to have hype cycles like crypto, NFTs and now, LLMs. We have the power to break the cycle of cycles in our vast numbers.
- Stop paying for AI services.

I urge you to read this www.wheresyoured.at/the-subprime...

In any case, nowhere are the subsidies higher than those of Anthropic and OpenAI, who use their tens of billions of dollars of funding to allow users to burn anywhere from $3 to $13 per every dollar of subscription revenue to outpace their competition.

the ol' RSI has started flaring up again, so the trackball is back

My desk with an Apple keyboard, HomePods, trackpad and remarkable e-ink note taking thing. Some WIP client work is on the screen.
