The “Agency of the French Press” totally doesn’t sound made up.

Interesting read. Haven’t finished it yet (it’s late, I’m going to bed) but it’s a nice shift from the defacto negativity around LLM’s on this platform

I am convinced, consider me converted. As of today I’m a hydro homie

I don’t know, but it’s been dead since 2023

That’s the purpose of a species, not of an individual. I’m not sure they actually have i dividual purpose. Sure they want to survive, bit that’s more of a goal than a purpose.

Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high

I see how it can be interpreted that way, but that’s not how I meant it. It is clearly not flawless.

I meant it from the perspective of an employer. If you want a good workforce that puts in effort, a worforce of probkem solvers that want to help the company be th best it can be. Than you gotta put effort into those employees, offer them the oppertunities to be th best they can be, that includes things like a good base salary, security, support.

Sort of the difference between the Rhineland model and the Algosaxon model of organisation.

It’s simple really, a universal rule: “You get out of it, what you put in to it”.

This applies to stuff like LLM’s (shiity prompts give shitty output), but also to relationships and especially company-worker relationships. There’s this time old saying “The boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I poop on company time”. So this is not something new.

What has changed is that companies have calculated the “pooping on campany time” into their calculations now. They expect their workers to deliver the least acceptable amount of effort. It is a calculated risk, a business model. So if you do that, you are just playing by their rules. Fuck their rules! Burn that motherfucker down! Organize! Show them that this is not how you treat people and that employees are people and that there are more employees that boss’s.

My son is getting older every day. Soon I won’t have to read him bedtime stories any more and he won’t want to cuddle all the time.

You do you, man!
I don’t see why you would though. There’s no purpose to actual marriage except taxes. There’s no difference in marrying now or marrying in 10 years from now. Being together is what actually counts. But you should just do what feels good.

Keep in mind though, marriage as in “sharing your entire life with someone”, is not something that just happens. It takes work to make a marriage work. Marrying at this age means that you both still have a lot of growth to go through. When you’re both 30, you will not be the same persons as you are now. If you want to remain together at that point, you will have to also grow your relationsship into something new that works for your 30 year old selfs. It takes compromise, sacrifice, trust to make a marriage last.

A common complaint to marrying this young is that you will “miss” the freedom of the bachelor life. The risk is that you will regret missing out on the bachelor life, later in life. You’re the one to dicide if you rather want to live wild and free now, or start the rest of your life right now. Imho, marriage doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on experiences, but you’ll have different experiences, shared experiences.

You will either grow into this relationship, making it more likely to succeed or you will grow into someone else, making it more likely to fail. Don’t let that hold you back in doing what feels good though. Life is never a certainty. I got married and a kid a 23 and I’m still happy at 36.

Blame tablet culture. Everything is now optimally desgined for user friendliness. Kids can just download an app from the appstore and point at what they want it to do. People don’t even know anymore how the filesystem on their computer works. If the dow load pup-up in chrome disappears, they think the download has dissapeared and they need to download it again.

Well, I think 2026 is going to be a good year for my career. I’m almost done with my thesis, so I expect to start 2026 by getting my bachelor. From there, I’ll see what happens, but at least it opens up a lot of oppertunities.
