I highly recommend people not boycott OpenAI ChatGPT. Use it. Just don't pay for it. Use it as much as you can. Every token you send costs them money. I use ChatGPT as much as possible, even sending nonsense if I have to. I want them to fail. I want them to crash and burn. They deserve to.

limactl makes it so easy to containerise Claude Code that if you are actually able to use it, you really have no excuse. CC represents such an attractive threat vector that it's only a matter of time before it gets compromised.

Oleksandr Khrustevych (www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0fZ...) and Loopop (www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwLC...) are my new musical crushes.

The greatest achievements of the LLM proponents will likely be to create even more inhumane working environments before they render you unemployable.

Post from @BullTheoryio on X This is CRAZY. It turns out Jack Dorsey's Block $XYZ spent $68 million on a single party in September 2025, roughly the annual payroll for 200 employees at $340,000 each. Then 5 months later, he laid off 4,000 people (40% of the company's workforce), citing AI and "intelligence tools" as a reason. Many people are speculating the real reason is poor planning and overspending, not AI.

Email Ofwat - the public have said NO to illegal sewage until 2040

No more Dirty Business ! The public, MPs and Environmental Groups have said NO to 14 years of illegal Thames Water sewage pollution. Email Ofwat now, so that they can't ignore us @weownit.org.uk weownit.org.uk/act-now/emai...

Screenshot of conversation with Claude Cowork using the Claude Legal Skill: Me: Are you getting mixed up? Clause 5 is rights ot termination Claude: You're right to call that out - let me go back and re-read the contract properly rather than relying on my initial pass. Extracted and processed MSA PDF document text content Extracted and processed MSA PDF document text content Fair point - I got the clause numbering wrong. Let me read the full extracted text properly to get the actual structure right before redoing the review. Read DocuSign Master Services Agreement document Read DocuSign Master Services Agreement document Right, I apologise - I clearly got the clause numbering substantially wrong throughout the review. Now I have the actual text extracted, the correct structure is: Clause 5 = Expiry or termination of Agreement (as you said) Clause 11 = Intellectual Property Rights Clause 14 = Limitation of Liability Clause 10 = Charges and Payment Clause 9.3 = Non-solicitation (6 months, not 12) I also had several factual errors - the liability cap is 150% not 100%, late interest is 3% not 4%, and the consequential loss exclusion is unilateral (protects only the Supplier), not mutual. Let me redo the review properly with the correct details.

So much for Claude Cowork's new legal skill which sent markets into a panic re: it being Legal SaaS killer. I tried it out just now on an MSA I needed to review...

Amazon should be done for their ads showing a delivery person looking relaxed and happy.

If you have ever wondered how we can fill landfill sites so quickly you haven’t visited Flying Tiger.

Amen.

When I used to teach college sociology, I would often challenge students to rethink common moral stances, and it always surprised me how they largely would default toward further reactionary conservatism.

For example, once they accepted caffeine as a drug, they often first wanted it banned.

Things can be so much better than they are. As part of fighting back all the unnecessary horrors going on at present, let us build that better future that goes far beyond the prior status quo. Universal basic income and healthcare are moral imperatives. We are so far beyond any need for deprivation.

@garymarcus.bsky.social mic dropping with Omar quote, *chefs kiss*

Mark Twain: "What I have done I have done, because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. Who was it who said, 'Blessed is the man who has found his work'? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work - not somebody else's work. The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man's work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great."

We are not our job titles. No human can be defined by the work they do so long as they must do whatever work they can find in exchange for existence money.

Absent UBI, you're not a telemarketer. You're a human who food + housing is withheld from to get you to sell a slice of your soul to stay alive

I already hate GEO. That didn't take long.

It's not often I see all 12 cores pegged on this machine for hours at a time. What's nice is that it's still apparently silent.

Further to this, Ofcom's update on its own investigation neatly illustrates what a fucking mess the OSA is: www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safet...

I'm currently batch converting all of the iBRXL accounts data for companies who submitted accounts in Dec 2025 into a usable CSV file using arelle. There's over half a million so it's going to take a little while. The idea is to build my own company intelligence database.

Reminded again how shit macOS Finder is. Okay this folder has over half a million files in it (Companies House accounts filings) but this is an M2 Max Studio with 64GB of memory and a supposedly fast SSD. How is it "loading..." for a minute?

I think a big challenge for me as CEO is that I don't have an instinct for sales. In tech I have a compass, even when I'm in an area I'm not familiar with, I can quickly find a position. However, in the sales arena, I don't have that instinct, so I am blown by the wind. It's disconcerting.

If I hear one more piece of blather about chat bots chatting in a social network setting I think I am going to lose my shit. Fuck me are we so short of meaningful things to be interested in?

A million developers using Codex sounds a lot like an infinite number of monkeys…

WTF did Apple do to macOS so that a heavy I/O process on an external spinning rust risk can actually make an M2 Max Mac Studio laggy?

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Between this and the Palantir investigation by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social I admit even I did not expect the UK government to be this reckless. How naive of me. It’s hard to express just how disastrous the Starmer government has been.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

I don't know what to do with this information but I feel it should not pass unnoticed.

Disappeared bodies, mass burials and ‘30,000 dead’: what is the truth of Iran’s death toll? Testimony from medics, morgue and graveyard staff reveals huge state effort to conceal systematic killing of protesters

By even conservative measures the number of people killed by the Iranian regime is at least 10,000. Other estimates go significantly higher. These include mass executions, including civilians killed while undergoing medical treatment.
