The Netscapes of AI
Lincoln Michel on Twitter / X
This was my read on AI from the beginning and it proved very true. Whatever hypothetical benefits LLMs have (and they have some), their main use is to waste everyone's time wading through slop. Longer colleague powerpoints. More spam emails. More slop clogging up all the systems. https://t.co/2gtGfqf7KF— Lincoln Michel (@TheLincoln) September 21, 2026
LLMs Are Accelerating the Open Source Sustainability Crisis
Adam Wathan, the creator of Tailwind CSS, has been speaking about how LLMs have made his project more popular than ever…while also making it fall apart financially, causing him to fire 75% of his engineers. “I think AI is a huge reason why our business is struggling, even though it’s making Tailwind more popular than ever.” — Adam Wathan (12:03) How is this possible? A major cause is that LLMs are blocking Tailwind’s creators and users from forming a relationship with each other.
Your Laptop Isn’t Ready for LLMs. That’s About to Change
The quest to run large AI models locally on an individual's machine are driving the biggest change in laptop architecture in decades.
How AI Will Reshape Public Opinion
Social media democratised public opinion, shifting influence away from elites and experts to ordinary people. LLMs will partly reverse this trend. They are a powerful, new technocratising force.
If You’re Going To Defend AI And Whine About Its Critics, You Should Probably Be Honest About Its Actual Harms
I think this recent post by AI industry CEO Matt Shumer is worth a read. In it, he basically explains how quickly LLMs (large language models) are evolving to supplant many developers and prog…

A practical guide to building successful LLM products, covering the tactical, operational, and strategic.
LLMs are not like manufacturing machines - Ross Wintle
LLMs are not just machines. They are machine-building machines! This comes with way more responsibility. And understanding it may change how you use them.
FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies
LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse.
The AI summer — Benedict Evans
Hundreds of millions of people have tried ChatGPT, but most of them haven’t been back. Every big company has done a pilot, but far fewer are in deployment. Some of this is just a matter of time. But LLMs might also be a trap: they look like products and they look magic, but they aren’t. Maybe we ha

LLMs as Parts of Systems - Marc's Blog
Over on the Kiro blog, I wrote a post about Kiro and the future of AI spec-driven software development, looking at where I think the space of AI-agent-powered development tools is going. In that post, I made a bit of cheeky oblique reference to a topic I think is super important. I asked Kiro to build a Towers of Hanoi game.
