Vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript is the “universal language” of modern networked computing. Know that, and know it deeply, and you can speak “internet” in nearly any context, in nearly any job.

That’s the power of international standards and open protocols. They’ll never go out of style.

OpenAI’s Altman and other AI giants back warning of advanced AI as ‘extinction’ risk. If Sam truly believes in the risks posed by AI, he should consider shutting down OpenAI. Power down the data center, delete software & models associated with it. I don’t get his motivation here. What do you want, man? First,you say OpenAI is the best. Then, the next day you say it will pose a significant risk to the human race. So, shut down the OpenAI & move on with your life. Stop making up bullshit #ChatGPT

@tommorris @hc If the execs didn’t want ad blockers, maybe they shouldn’t have shipped ads that broke the website or were malware vectors.
