Worst app (no longer) on my phone: @lyft In order of insane badness: (1) Waits until very last step of booking a ride to tell me I need to be over 18. (2) Does not tell me how to fix it. (3) Trying everything (add photo, reinstall, etc) the 'net suggests: no difference. I'm 52.

@Anthropic releases Fable Within two days, I upgrade from Pro to Max @DarioAmodei releases an essay demanding government intervention And today the US government shuts down Fable completely: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…
This gets my vote. I've experienced plenty of anxiousness over the last two years around what lies in the months and years to come. Amodei is calling for the right stuff. As he says, it's not really enough, but these are recommendations that are feasible to work on now.
Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: darioamodei.com/post/policy-on…
"AI-driven biomedical progress may also improve mental health, which could have a stabilizing effect on society." Yaaay! SOMA !! darioamodei.com/post/policy-on…
Added two days to my trip to the @CanEconomics meeting, to visit the suburban alpine: barrington-leigh.net/graphics2011/2…
WTF is going on with @claudeai Opus 4.8 today!? You want me to tell all agents in the future "Don't use git add -A"?? 🤦🤦♂️🤦♀️
Hey @McGillU students: @ihsp_mcgill Impact Internship Program is accepting applications for Fall 2026 See the "Communications and knowledge synthesis for the Canadian Wellbeing Knowledges Network" (cwkn.ca) project at mcgill.ca/equity-ethics-…
Yikes. This essay from @Anthropic, out today, has almost the same tone and thread as ai2027.com: anthropic.com/institute/recu…

@alz_zyd_ Should I? To me, it is probable that they will, but not at all obvious.
I'm having an "It-feels-like-it's-2025" day with Claude Code. 😟😠☹️😡😡😡 In the future they'll be able to turn us all into a mess of raging lunatics just by messing a bit, disobeying a bit, lying a bit.
@jbsteinberg Why github (ugh)? Overleaf supports pure git. So you can just clone repo locally and pull/work locally when you need AI, then (pull again/) push when done.
Note to self: Do *not* go and re-read AI2027.com to see whether we're still on its predicted schedule.
Within a few seconds, I noticed a test message draft showing up in my Alpine! ... What a world, what a time.
Wow, I just levelled up. "ClaudeCode: please write yourself a skill for email control via my maildir folder." It installed himalaya (full email suite, maildir interface) and mu (maildir indexer), set up a cron job for mu, wrote its skill. All with --dangerously-skip-permissions
