Most frustrating experience at Mumbai International airport with @lufthansa airlines. They keep postponing the flight departure and no announcements on what is causing the delay. Almost 15 staff roaming around lost and zero customer appreciation to explain why.

MiniMax M2 & Agent: Ingenious in Simplicity MiniMax M2 was released on Monday 27th October by MiniMax, a Chinese AI lab founded in December 2021. It's a very promising model. Their self-reported benchmark scores show it as …

MiniMax M2 is the new "most intelligent" open weights model (according to Artificial Analysis) - the MIT licensed weights are just 230GB and it appears comparable to Sonnet 4, while priced closer to Gemini 2.5 Flash. Notes here, including a new LLM plugin:

I had a similar thought. At least companies will now attend to resiliency/ha/dr, especially on the home mattress overheating example.

The question is - what will be the change impact when we are on the other side of this. And don't bother trying to time this. Best you can do is embrace and retrain yourself for the other side of this

Just like the late 90s Internet bubble, the AI bubble is real and will burst. When that happens some companies will go down and retail investors will hold the losses. But AI is here to stay, just like the Internet when it was reborn after the dot com bust.

And God forbid there is a production bug in the LLM generated code...maybe call in another LLM at 3am?

As per some experts the future involves humans not touching the code. Assuming these tools get to that level of maturity to solve complex enterprise systems, get ready to rewrite these systems every year as the models get better.

25+ minutes of taxing for landing and takeoff at ORD Chicago airport is a test of human patience. Reminder to self to avoid this airport.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is probably the β€œbest coding model in the world” (at least for now) Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.5 today, with a very bold set of claims: Claude Sonnet 4.5 is the best coding model in the world. It’s the strongest model for building …

Wrote up my initial impressions of the brand new Claude Sonnet 4.5 - I think it may live up to Anthropic's claims of being the "best coding model in the world", for the next few weeks at least!

So many people trade Mag 7 stocks rather than owning them, says Jim Cramer 'Mad Money' host Jim Cramer talks what is ahead for the Magnificent Seven.

When Carmer says to hold on to Mag 7 stocks then I want to do the opposite.

Generating images that have text content is still broken in GPT-5. So many words are misspelled and then some gibberish where one cannot even make out the text.

Is this new info? I use Claude to draft and update podcast scripts. It makes up fictitious quotes all the time. I have to tell it to stop. I will ask, and it will say yes, this is a fake quote, and also apologize. Ridiculous.

As I delve deeper into AI Agent code assist tools, I cannot help but feel that a new kind of programming language will be developed for this AI code development world we have entered, as opposed to all the ones we use, which were designed for humans to write & understand. Thoughts?
