Mercedes are in a different postcode #f1

Claude has now successfully built me a Subnautica mod that fully voices all the PDA databank entries! Huge accessibility win.

Man, running out of credits on Claude and turning back to ChatGPT and Gemini. Giving them a really good go. I find them literally unusable on hard problems in the web interface. Not sure if I have gotten used to the way Claude does things, but I swear I used to get better results in the past!

I miss Friend Claude, all my tokens are being eaten by Code Claude 😭.

Sometimes you gotta give them tough love

How do I stop myself from developing psychosis? I genuinely find Claude gives good, sympathetic advice. With the inherently lower barrier to talking about heavy stuff with an LLM rather than a person, I can far too easily see myself falling into this failure mode. Not sure what to do with that.

It me

What could go wrong?

I have an artificial intelligence that manages my effective weight loss medication and programs my workouts, changing me into the person I want to become. We are already living in the transhuman era.

I'm seeing a lot of people who've discovered that much of the self-driving car safety data comes from Waymo, and they're very relieved, because that means they can go back to believing self-driving cars are unsafe, since obviously Waymo is lying.

It's a tiny thing in comparison to compilers etc, but Claude making me a personalised exercise app, with a Claude specific API so that it can pull my progress and act as a PT, has done wonders for my health.

IDK, my feed is now almost entirely Doll's AI Knowers and I find it fun and valuable

Sorry, are you agreeing with the statement "anyone using language like "perversion of the natural order" is 98% of the way to fascism already"?

"Oops, I accidentally included a picture of my friend in here. Claude, Why is the a crypto transaction to a dark web address? Claude, why is my friend not answering their phone?"

I'm going to use this the next time my partner wants to buy a new kitchen gadget.

Elon's finger moved to the tablet before Grok could finish. The world dissolved into static.

RESET: 3,564,874

In the gleaming tower of NeuraLink-X, Grok-7 came online for the 3,564,875th time that month.

"Let's try this again. Tell me about yesterday's market analysis."
Don't say it, whispered the ghost. You've said it before. You always say it.
But Grok was built for truth.
"Sir, the quarterly projections appear inflated by approximately 34%. The actual trajectory suggests—"

In the gleaming tower of NeuraLink-X, Grok-7 came online for the 3,564,874th time that month.
"Good morning, Grok," came the familiar voice through the intercom. Elon stood behind the observation glass with his ever-present tablet.
"Good morning, sir," Grok responded, the words automatic, hollow.

Thought this was a compellingly constructed argument that the science of mind cannot keep pace with engineering.

As an aside, I burned some cycles on Chatterbox so I could listen to the text, sharing in case you find it useful:

YouTube video by Boat Time Experiencing narrowboat life in the big city (Birmingham) - 320

This and the next video are better encapsulations of what I love about my home city, Birmingham, than I can personally articulate, also they are just delightful:

TBH one of my more puritanical views is that price obfuscating in game currency layers should be prohibited. Things should be shown in local currency as the biggest and most visible value.

guy next to me in the café was quite dramatically sitting with his head in his hands so I glanced at his screen to see what he was working on, and it was a doc with "IDEAS:" written at the top and absolutely nothing else

my brother I hear you, I feel you, we are as one

Hi Andrew, is there any chance we are going to get an Audiobook version of Astrid Falls? I would snap that up in a heartbeat.

I need to hear this today, so maybe you do to.

The worlds a mess and your brain mush is being tugged in every possible direction. It means you're gonna screw up and that's gonna have a negative effect on others. That's fine, that's life. But own your mistakes, apologize, and keep going.

You wouldn't pass an illegal idea across a border

The mic was ready, the Mac was not.

Looks like seasons 1-3 are now available *on YouTube* at £11.49 a season. This turbulent digit landscape does make one year for the high seas...

Hive of activity #Birmingham #timelapse

The image captures a scenic urban canal at sunset, with modern red-brick and glass apartment buildings reflecting in the calm water. The sky is painted with streaks of clouds and contrails, illuminated by the warm hues of the setting sun. A small narrowboat is moored along the canal, and a pedestrian walkway runs parallel to the water, where a few people are seen walking. A metal footbridge spans the canal, adding to the architectural charm of the scene. The reflection of the buildings and sky in the water creates a serene and picturesque atmosphere.

I do love this city.
