I read a blog about websites built by AI. Not surprised. I bet it hits 75% by 2030. Maybe sooner.
I used to hand-code HTML and CSS — hours, days, sometimes weeks. Now Claude helps me build my micro.blog in 30–40 minutes. AI catches errors in seconds that used to take me forever. I have no shame in using AI to save my time.
The Internet Archive data shows the web transformed in three years after ChatGPT’s launch from zero AI content to more than one-third. We’re seeing the fastest shift in internet composition since the web began.
Do you use AI for your own web projects?
I am in awe as I watch this massive wave crash onto the land, and then a rainbow appears. It is simply beautiful to see.
After reading about Leviticus, I’m absolutely watching this.
“a tightly conceived, gripping queer horror that reaches for unassuming brilliance through a supernatural premise that’s as terrifying as it is thematically relevant.”
Conversion therapy is abusive — full stop. No one should ever be put through that. It’s already happening in real lives.
Horror feels like exactly the right genre for it. Not because it’s entertainment, but because it’s honest. I will admit that this won’t be an easy watch.
On my watchlist: Leviticus 🍿

TIL about that word: Ghorbat. It is a Persian term signifying the state of being a stranger, alienation, or homesickness, often describing the emotional pain of being far from home.
Ghorbat runs through Persian poetry the way longing runs through blues music, not as a subject that appears now and then but as the key in which everything is written. Centuries of invasion and exile carved the word into the language. The poetry evolved to hold the things displaced people could not take with them.
I remembered watching Michael giving his best performance of Thriller on TV when I was 7 years old! I was like, “Ohh my that looked scary!” I also happened to own Michael doll with the famous red jacket. I wonder where it was. Hmm. Anyway, the movie trailer looks good.
On my watchlist: Michael 🍿
Watched: Jeanne du Barry last week.
It’s a beautiful watch, but watching the court refuse to acknowledge her is hard to look away from. Louis loved her, but even he couldn’t hold back what was coming. Once he was gone, so was her place in that world.
“That young woman is my entourage.” — King Louis XV
The Marie Antoinette thread got me too. She refused to speak to Jeanne for years, and when she finally did, it was just one brief exchange.
I envy the phones out there that we can’t get here. It is just Samsung, Google Pixel, or iPhones everywhere. That kinda sucks. Sure, there are Motorola, TCL, Nothing, and many other mid-range phones, but none rank in the top 3. I would love to see Oppo, Huawei, or Xiaomi sold in the US!
A gulf is growing between the phones on sale in the US and those available in the rest of the world. US phone buyers are missing out. Read more from [@dompreston.com](http://dompreston.com): The US gets the worst phones. Will Apple’s new CEO fix it?
I used to use or fool around with Linux many years ago. I enjoyed it for a while but I never stay But I always back to Windows or Mac. I think it is the limit of apps at that time really lost me interested to stay with Linux. Perhaps I should try it again one day!
Funny thing — Android actually runs on the Linux kernel. You’d never know it looking at your phone, and I say that as an Android user.
After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at allAfter three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at allI regret nothing
Ace won 3 out of 5 games against elite players w/ 10 yrs or more of experience, but lost 2 against players.
So, will we see robots playing against humans in the tournaments one day?
“The success of Ace, with its perception system and learning-based control algorithm, suggests that similar techniques could be applied to other areas requiring fast, real-time control and human interaction, such as manufacturing and service robotics, as well as applications across sports, entertainment and safety-critical physical domains.” — lead author and project lead at Sony AI Peter Dürr
