    I feel really bad for saying this, but you kind of missed with this one David Gerard

    Hey David Gerard, long time follower second time caller. (Here's the first time.)

    A screenshot of a portion of my previous email conversation with David Gerard. It was asking about recommendations for research on Rationalists, which was inspired by a cohost post noticing some similarities between Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and isekai manga.

    So I recently saw a post of yours—attached below—about a post from a lead developer of the "Julia language" trying out Claude Code (which I will call "Clode" for the rest of the post for no particular reason except it saves me keystrokes and is funny) and finding it "not very good".

    fuck it. i'm hiding every mention of ai on my rss feed

    A screenshot of all my muffles and mutes on tapestry. Most of the mutes are for advertising sponsored content, or actual sponsored content. There is a mute that reads, "I follow this account exclusively for posts on one topic", and a muffle that reads, "Mentions AI".

    here is a list of every muffle or mute i use on tapestry, my rss client of choice. a lot of what i'm hiding is promotions of some sort, usually for members-only content, which i think makes sense. but what has really started crossing the line is stuff talking about ai. i follow some normal-ish publications about web dev and stuff, and the amount of ai hype i've seen on the is driving me kinda crazy, so i am now exercising my power to be the god of my own feed and silence it all. it's muffled though because obviously this hides any ai criticism from people i might care about so it's just muffling it, requiring me to click through to see it. tragic.
