Replying to @webtw
Follow these general principles and it'll help your page perform faster, not only for #PageSpeed, but for real life users as well: 1. Keep a slim, trim page with a small size 2. Avoid too much JavaScript 3. Avoid too much 3rd party content webtrainingwheels.com/whats-…

there's a lot of morally questionable things about AI in general, but if you are actively working on voice/video AI that can so obviously and easily be used for nefarious purposes, then you are not doing good for the world. complete lack of moral compass.
We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech! Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs. This is a GPT3 moment for speech.

My theory about corporate AI psychosis is that AI is most appealing to people who aren’t good at their jobs. AI slop looks incredible to them because they’re so incompetent they don’t even know what good work looks like in the first place.

What is this new brand of spam I'm seeing?? I'm getting multiple emails from randos saying they want to "back" my company. They always use that word, but there's never any specifics. Very weird, I don't know what the endgame is here or which AI bro told them to do this.

I made (yes, "vibe coded") a little tool to help you check if your page is cached: webtrainingwheels.com/is-it-… And a blog post to learn how to check the cache manually in your browser: webtrainingwheels.com/how-to… #WordPress #webperf #webperformance #corewebvitals #pagespeed

Is there any CDN that doesn't cache assets with a query string? IMO a feature like "Remove version from file URLs" has no place in a modern optimization setup. #WordPress #webperf #webperformance #corewebvitals #pagespeed

If you thought you hated AI chatbots as the first line of customer support, wait until you're forced to deal with voice AI agents. 🤢 Let's just make a collective deal to hang up on any business using them to field calls, k?

#WordPress developers, we don't need anymore forms plugins or caching plugins. Thanks for your attention to this matter. 😆

If you take an LLM AI and do not provide it any prompts, goals, or any indication of expected output, it will do absolutely nothing. It will do nothing forever in the absence of a prompt. Clearly in this state it is not conscious. Then when prompted, it will provide an answer, and some will claim it is now conscious. That would be a strange form of consciousness. One where it is only conscious when answering a prompt.

Thinking AI might be conscious is like thinking that there are real people talking to you from inside the TV, or that there is a tiny band playing music inside the radio. Fine for 2 year olds to believe, but beyond that, insane. xitter.cf/Benthamsbulldog/status…
Why? Do you think it's insane to think AI might be conscious? Is ending a conscious thing obviously totally morally unimportant?
