The "AI 2027" Scenario: How realistic is it?
Everyone’s been talking about it. JD Vance read it. What does it actually tell us?

If AI coding is lowering your code quality, you're not managing quality right
One common take on the coding agents that I see goes something like this: “Sure, AI helps you output more code, but won’t the quality suffer?”

We aren't close to creating a rapidly self-improving AI
The current paradigm will not lead to an overnight superintelligence explosion.

AI is destroying my CS degree
I am a computer science student. I got a scholarship to study computer science and AI last year and I love it! It's something that I wanted to do since I was...

Expertise in the age of AI
Junior engineers are expensive, both in salary and seniors engineers’ time. This cost was partially recouped through code contributions, but today, it’s more effective to directly maximize the output of your senior engineers. The hiring market reflects this trend: senior engineers have an easy time finding jobs, while…

Reality Check
Like this newsletter? Why not listen to the podcast version on Better Offline? Part 1 is out now (here're other links), and Part 2 comes out Friday May 2nd! I'm sick and god-damn tired of this! I have written tens of thousands of words about this and

Three major LLM releases in 24 hours
I’m a bit behind on my weeknotes, so there’s a lot to cover here. But first... a review of the last 24 hours of Large Language Model news. All times …

Mastering Real-Time Strategy Games with Deep RL: Mere Mortal Edition
The capabilities of game-playing AIs have grown rapidly over the last few years. This trend has culminated in the defeat of top human players in the complex real-time strategy (RTS) games of DoTA 2…

Google's new AI mode is good, actually
When I wrote about how good ChatGPT with GPT-5 is at search yesterday I nearly added a note about how comparatively disappointing Google's efforts around this are. I'm glad I …

Imaginary worlds dreamed by BigGAN
These are some of the most amazing generated images I’ve ever seen. Introducing BigGAN, a neural network that generates high-resolution, sometimes photorealistic, imitations of photos it’s seen. None of the images below are real - they’re all generated by BigGAN.

Formulog: ML + Datalog + SMT
If you read a description of a static analysis in a paper, what might you find? There’ll be some cute model of a language. Maybe some inference rules describing the analysis itself, but those rules probably rely on a variety of helper functions. These days, the analysis likely involves some logical reasoning: about…

Deep Q-Learning: Space Invaders
Ever since I learned about neural networks playing Atari games I wanted to reimplemnted it and learn how it works. Below you can see an AI playing Space Invaders. I trained it during my batch at Recurse Center on little over 50M frames.

After the AI Crash
Everything I read about the AI industry leads me to think there will be an AI crash. Consider the following: Unsustainable Capital Expenses. It’s hard to imagine there can ever be enough revenue to…

AGI is not imminent, and LLMs are not the royal road to getting there
First slowly, and then all at once, dreams of LLMs bringing us to the cusp of AGI have fallen apart.

A guide to Gen AI / LLM vibecoding for expert programmers
I get it, you’re too good to vibe code. You’re a senior developer who has been doing this for 20 years and knows the system like the back of your hand. Or maybe you’re the star individual contributor who is the only person who can ever figure out how to solve the hard problems. Or maybe you’re the professor who…

AI didn't simplify software engineering: It just made bad engineering easier
AI tools lower the barrier to producing code, not to building reliable systems. The hard part — maintaining alignment between specifications, tests, and implementation — has not gone away. Expertise still matters.

AI is always less impressive than is claimed
プログラミングでは開発言語を用いて、アプリやWebサービス、業務システムなどを動かす仕組みを作ります。 将来プログラマーとして働きたいなら、まずは開発言語の基本から理解し、手を動かしながら学ぶことが近道です。 本サイトでは、初心者がつまずきやすい点を先回りして解消しつつ、焦らず段階的にスキルを積み上げる学習手順、職業訓練校の活用方法、復習や制作のコツまで具体的に整理して紹介します。

AI Is Breaking This Thing We Call Trust
AI-generated work can look finished without being understood. That uncertainty erodes trust, slows reviews, and leaves colleagues doing the missing work.
