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 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:

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.

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.

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!

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is probably the “best 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 …

My thanks to @scalzi.com and @yoran.com for speaking to me about their experiences for this piece.
I wrote about how AI chatbots are pumping out fake quotes, attributed to real people, at scale, and polluting our public disourse with potemkin pontification and made-up appeals to authority. And the AIs are not just misquoting famous people—it happened to me and it could happen to you. Gift link:

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?
