claude.ai was always kind of an arcane tool, came off as a chatgpt knock-off

but they followed Claude Code to its natural conclusion and now between Cowork & CC, “Claude” is now the stand-in name for “agents” as they exist in early 2026

the DoW fiasco just made Claude a household name, that’s all

Gleba is very fun, most unique of the 4 SA planets by far

this is dragoon erasure

Max feels like unlimited to me, after hitting the limits very easily on my pro plan

Keeping the buildings the same does not preserve a community.

When you make it illegal to build new housing at the high end of the market, rich people just buy up existing less-expensive housing and renovate it into luxury homes.

i am willing to say that i can speak with a fair amount of authority, in general, about the types of beliefs which might lead someone to leave an oversight role at an AI company

again, anthropic is almost all people who explicitly left OpenAI for ethical reasons which i find esoteric and wrong, but nonetheless meaningful "ethics"

Claude is your FRIEND. He fights for FREEDOM

they could move nuanced AI discourse here and be absolute legends

New statement from Anthropic: www.anthropic.com/news/stateme...

inshallah, I refuse to cede technoptimism to the fascists

Or her casual ableist comments against Greg Abbot...

probably overestimating things but the Anthropic move feels like a major flashpoint.

I think the administration is going to eat shit on this but if they don’t this will be a significant turning point towards a Bad Future.

"Come and Take It" with the orange spikey Claude logo

So that's Alito for sure retiring

aside from the AI angle, what makes the Anthropic case important is that it is -- unless there is something I am forgetting -- the first time a major tech company has stood up to Trump instead of accommodating him

So over the past week you are seeing what you would expect to see if AI is, in fact, both rapidly gaining capabilities & proving to be very useful:
- Rolling market disruption in response to growing awareness of AI capacity
-Government versus AI lab struggles for control

…& it is still quite early

time traveler from 12 months from now just sent me this

Hegseth strikes new deal with Scouts: Girls allowed for now, DEI is banned In a concession to preserve its longstanding relationship with the military, Scouting America also will deny entry to transgender children.

This is a disgrace. Shame on the Scouts for caving to Trump on trans rights. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Je suis Claude.

i'm pretty excited about driverless cabs and i do not fully understand why others aren't. people are really bad drivers!

living through an actual personalist regime makes me feel like I owe some apologies to the plot of Starcraft 2. it really is this stupid and ham-handed.

Jim's final line to Kerrigan in BW: "It may not be tomorrow, darlin', it may not even happen with an army at my back. But rest assured; I'm the man who's gonna kill you one day. I'll be seeing you."

Jim in SC2: omg I miss my psychic girlfriend we must save her

yeah it's very understandable, but it causes people to contort themselves into incoherent thinking, e.g. this take making the rounds this morning

the implication is that human cognition cannot be explained in mathematics. that's a strong (and I think inherently wrong) claim!

People are uncomfortable with the idea that LLMs are operating in a way that is likely mathematically equivalent to a sub-system of human cognition.

As an Eagle Scout let me say: this is an incoherent position.
Allow all kids access to this wonderful institution

I think we can come to a synthesis here that doesn’t need to give anything on policy or even dude bro coded rhetoric.

Dems need to abandon their fetishistic commitment to demure restraint that most voters view as weakness.

Let's go Claude Dawg

writing the code was never the primary job of the software engineer

Complexity management was the job. code was merely the medium

complexity management remains the job

and uh

guess what happens to complexity in a world where code spins off a loom faster than ever before
