The Post-AI Internet Doesn't Look Great
1 min read
The Post-AI Internet Doesn't Look Great Since the explosion of usage in generative AI, much of the internet is pretty much unusable. Search engines inject AI responses, when I actually want the answer from the source directly. Social media platforms are being bombarded with slop posts from bots. For that reason, I have deactivated most of my accounts, especially X. The barrier to generate content ...

The American Worker vs. the Most Qualified
6 min read
This story started with a rage-bait comment from British tech entrepreneur Paul Graham: I believe the most qualified person should get the job. There are many ways to approach this statement, which lives passive-aggressively inside the context of tech hiring and immigration. American tech titan Palmer Luckey grabbed hold of this thread and spent the next few days throttling the life out of it. Gra...

I Don’t Have a Smartphone… by Ploum on 2026-09-02 …or, at least, I wish I didn’t. "I don’t have a smartphone," is what I tell people and professionals nowadays. This allows me to cut the crap about companies insisting that I install their app or restaurants wishing that I scan a QR code to access their menu on a small screen. "I don’t have a smartphone" is, according to my experience, the easiest ...

Saving money on Google Photos with Immich: Your own personal photo storage I haven’t paid for Google photos for a long time, but I know several people that are now stuck forking out $20 or $30 a month just to keep their photo library intact.

Exit the Cave
5 min read
There’s something romantic about the Cave. About grinding away at something in private. About training with headphones on in our own little world. About stepping away for six months to emerge “unrecognizable” to all those people we imagine thinking about us. This masculine urge to “grind” seems to be gaining popularity. It reminds me of an incredible Under Armour ad for Michael Phelps’s iconic ret...

Three sites made 215,128 "best software" pages for AI. Perplexity cites them Across 380 software categories, 59.8% of the sources behind grounded AI recommendations sit outside the 100,000 most-visited websites, and several of the most-cited are sites built to be read by models rather than by people. We asked two web-grounded models for the best products in 380 software categories and kept every U...

The efficient frontier of LLM inference
5 min read
In the AI industry, we borrowed the term “efficient frontier” from economists. We use it to talk about managing tradeoffs, most often the tradeoff between cost and capabilities for models. A model is a “frontier model” if it offers the highest degree of intelligence at a given cost or size. We also have efficient frontiers in inference engineering. Most often, this is expressed as a tradeoff betwe...
