It's even funnier when you factor in that Anthropic literally lost money on all of this. Like they're skimming your money just to use it as fuel to light other money on fire
I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

Love the `aerc` MUA and how customizable it is. Not so much a fan of Go templates though, like, at all! Awful stuff. Luckily its templates include an `exec` function so you can more or less replace them with a proper templating language, such as Bash

8. Weiss's project is creating an Operation Paperclip for Epstein's cronies. Taking a group of discredited men and rehabilitating them as necessary pillars of system. Dershowitz and Peter Attia are the Wernher von Brauns of reactionary centrism.

The candidate who promises prosecutions/executions/etc will win in a landslide. If they also promise to enforce a one-stop permanent opt-out for all Act Blue and other political text campaigns, their reign shall be a millennia-spanning golden age

Just discovered `jo` which is basically `jq`'s other half, for outputting JSON via a Bash-friendly interface. Found it via a Stack Overflow question/answer

It's funny how many AI products tout the ability to switch between dozens of LLM back-ends. It's almost as though every single one of these products is just a wrapper around basically the same small API in front of one of like 3 companies

I can finally say, countless ordinary people doing both visible and invisible work to protect their neighbors in the Twin Cities, it was goddamn annoying that one guy in particular was getting singular praise for it just because he's more typically known for being wrong and punching left On Here

A scathing review of Oracle's actual doings that has been extremely well-deserved for a very long time coming, long before it began its current AI suicide mission

"Since its founding in 2002, a combination of organizational flaws and mission creep has allowed D.H.S. to evolve into an out-of-control domestic security apparatus..., one that views the very people it is supposed to protect as threats, not humans."
