The online whiteboard of Kristofer Palmvik
Pasting a massive AI-generated response into a chat or email where a human would write one sentence. It destroys the medium itself. Nobody writes essays in Slack. It's only possible because of AI copy-paste.
There is a yawning chasm opening up between…oh, let’s call them the enthusiasts and the skeptics, although the battle lines are drawn in many different ways. Both groups are tense, frustrated, and a little scared, and as a result, they have stopped talking to each other. Instead, they talk about each other — as roadblocks, as caricatures, as threats. It’s all, “THOSE people are AI-pilled and don’t understand software”, vs “THOSE people hate AI and don’t want to move fast.”
The defect is the missing relationship between the code and the minds that own it. Absence, negative space. This is the cord to pull: “I can’t vouch for this”, not “this is broken”. The response should be the same though: stop the machine, and swarm. Not async, and not one team member carrying the cost of honesty. Shared understanding is owned by the team, not any one individual, and the team should fix it together.
Most people have never experienced real collaboration and they’re convinced that what they already know is as good as it gets. It’s not. What most teams call collaboration is actually coordination. You divide the work up, each person goes off and does their piece, and then you review each other’s output. That’s not collaboration.
The current models and tooling are enough to build software factories. Today. In a software factory, developers stop writing code by hand. AI coding agents implement features and fix bugs while developers design and improve the factory.
For years, the software industry treated public package registries like a law of nature. They were simply there. Immutable, invisible, and somehow outside the normal rules of cost, capacity, and responsibility. That was always a fantasy. Now the fantasy comes with a high price tag.
A platform-agnostic specification of the technical features every decent website should have — from <title> to /.well-known/security.txt, from WCAG contrast to llms.txt. Written for humans and agents.
This year, happy films are winning. Box office data promises success for movies that understand that joy is not the opposite of seriousness. Joy can be profound. Joy can be political. Joy can be the most radical emotional register available to us in a world that has made misery our default setting.
Accessible and elegant solutions for the clickable surfaces of cards can be a bit tricky to achieve, especially when secondary actions require dead space. I believe that anchor positioning can help, and this post is an attempt to document a useful variation of existing patterns.
With Soofi S, the Soofi consortium presents the first building block of an open European AI model family. The model was developed to make high-performance AI applications transparent, adaptable, and usable on sovereign infrastructure.
Yesterday I had something I’d written dismissed as the “work” of an LLM. According to their comment, the reader saw a bunch of emdashes up-front and bailed on the rest of the article. If you can believe it, this was the first such comment I’ve gotten, despite the hundreds of thousands of words — and almost as many emdashes, case in point — that I’ve written over the past few years.
Now, more than ever, I think the best thing you can do is reach out to someone who makes content that you appreciate, and let them know about it.
We believe three things. 1. You should determine how people can reach you. 2. You should decide what your attention is worth - and who benefits. 3. Charging unknown senders a small cost leads to better connections.
– Vi ser AI som ett sätt att göra cirkulär handel enklare och mer tillgänglig. Genom att öppna upp Tradera för AI-agenter vill vi sänka tröskeln för innovation och göra det möjligt för fler att bygga tjänster och upplevelser ovanpå second hand-handel, säger Linus Sjöberg.
Weeknight concerts, new restaurants, maybe a morning swim before work, or simply the feeling that your city has more to offer than the same old routine. Smorgasbord makes it easier to rediscover all of that together with people who are longing for the same things. Through people’s habits, favorite places, and ideas, a new way of discovering the city begins to take shape. More vibrant, more social, and much closer to real life than yet another feed to simply scroll through.
