I think there's a lot about regulation I worry about. (Too much? Too little?)
I'm not sure where to start. But we could start with these principles:
- Be kind.
- Respect others, especially when we disagree.
I could go with that.

1. I did download my archive, so I have that. Since I always publish on my own site first, so "all" I had over there was conversations.
2. I do not see how I would ever return to a site owned by a Nazi who boost white supremacy conspiracy theories. Just don't see it.
I had left my old Twitter account up even though I no longer interacted there.
I'm done.
Find me here, on BlueSky, Threads, LinkedIn, (FaceBook sometimes) and on my site: www.jrothman.com.
Not over there.
To increase Americans' earning, expand child care. Study finds every $1 spent on free, full-time day care for preschoolers generated $6 in economic benefits, mostly extra pay for parents bc they had care for their kids.

"Oh, but Jason, the research shows that LLMs improve developer productivity". Firstly, no, it doesn't. It shows that LLMs can generate code for problems they've been trained on. And *independent* research (i.e., not paid for by companies selling Gen A.I.) shows no discernible gains worth mentioning.
And secondly, many teams I see using Copilot etc are *so* inefficient in their working practices, there are much, much bigger wins to be had without burning the planet.
“Stories are how we make sense of ourselves and the world...”

The next person who says "But I can totally see A.I. replacing 'coders' soon..." has to put $5 in the swear jar. It's demonstrably no truer for software developers - because there's no such job as 'coder', BTW - than it is for any other job. You just don't know what it is we actually do.
