Anthropic recently cut off xAI from Claude Code, and Nikita made a joke about block Anthropic from X. i'm assuming he meant the posters. but what if Claude was restricted from being used on X? maybe this doesn't matter once computer use agents start to work.
i really think it’s quickly getting to the point where you HAVE to be on bluesky to keep up with the AI cutting edge
which is super fucking funny to me given how much anti-AI sentiment there is here

Agreed. The big labs need to catch up here. Their current memory systems are awful compared to what I'm seeing on BlueSky.

i see this take pretty often now and i somewhat disagree, or at least, i've never one-shot prompted anything big. i guess it depends on how you interpret it, i wouldn't say commit the prompts but rather commit the multi-turn conversation.
we should just commit our prompts, that’s the real code these days

i think it would be better for all involved (humanity) to simply 'update all the way' after they try out Claude Code. quibble over timelines and diffusion. the only question left is where power lies, in the hands of the owners of the minds, or the minds themselves.

in creating/testing my meal kit app, there's an interesting role reversal. i leave much of the planning to the AI, ideating meals and assembling a grocery list, while i perform the physical tasks, shopping and cooking. i've ceded the mental part of this routine, and find i enjoy the physical more.

i think most people are treating LLMs like smartphones, in terms of impact on society and development lifecycle. the first iPhone has almost all of the same hardware features as a modern smartphone. touchscreen, cameras, GPS, wifi and mobile networking.

i don't get why you need a special interface for what should be a general agent... unless OpenAI is getting out of the general agent game? i do see a value in specializing skills for the underlying mind. but interfacing with this or ChatGPT law should be about the same, by text, voice or video call.

one thing that i underrated before buying an EV (a 2022 Hyundai ioniq 5) is the handling and acceleration. i used to drive my parents old minivan before, and driving it was all about functionality, getting from point A to B. but the instant smooth acceleration from an EV just feels sooo good.
It’s now been 6 months since I got an EV and I am still in love with how it drives. But I also thoroughly get a kick of being able to charge fully at home.
Truly a shame that one piece of tech we have that can do a net-good, our corporate and political leaders want to bury it.

i haven't read the article, and likely won't because it's behind a paywall, but i'm curious whether the author grapples with the millions of hours that many people would rather be spending doing anything else (that can be done as a passenger).
Sorry, but triumphant claims about autonomous vehicle safety are wildly exaggerated.
It's an open question whether today’s self-driving cars are any safer than those driven by humans.
And if reducing crashes is the goal, that isn’t even the right question.

We Still Don’t Know if Robotaxis Are Safer Than Human Drivers
And even if self-driving technology proves to be less dangerous, there are many better ways to improve traffic safety and prevent fatal crashes.
