Jeebuz that was long, I only made it through about half of it. But I think he's calling for cold war nuclear treaties style international cooperation. But I believe those mechanisms are broken and unavailable to us for two main reasons:

1. The Western world and especially the US is in the process of destroying the UN and other institutions of international law in order to protect Israel, for reasons that I have tried and failed to understand because the propaganda around it is so dense.

2. The Supreme Court made bribery of politicians legal so now we have AI investors with actual governmental power. All restraint efforts will be blocked by the federal government at minimum for these next 3 crucial years.


Form over function

Yes although every time I open the lid with one hand I wonder why no other manufacturer seems to get their hinge friction so perfect.

Many/most of the other laptops I’ve taken apart have their hinges screwed into plastic, or worse, the hinges themselves are plastic too. This is a cost cutting measure and also limits the amount of tension since the plastic can’t take higher tension.

This is a lie, certain powerful elements of the right wing are much more anti free speech.

Who?

The responsible thing would be to not sell way more subscriptions than their capacity. But they have to show the exponential revenue curves to their investors. I cancelled my subscription yesterday.

Well I just canceled my Claude Pro subscription because of the mysterious limits that I don't experience with codex, even after paying for "extra usage". If Anthropic can't figure out their capacity problems they are in trouble.

I doubt Anthropic see this as their capacity problem. They like "extra usage", and users who don't, well its their capacity problem.

¸That field is called Machine Learning.

No that's still like putting cellular biology and psychology in the same bin.

How many tokens does the $20/month buy me? I want to know what those hard token limits are but they refuse to tell me. I'm pretty sure they've reduced those limits the last week but they won't admit it. It feels like a scammy pricing model.

I agree, I think consumers appreciate transparency.

To some degree sure, is it about the number tokens you can max out?

I’m pretty happy knowing that it supports my development workflow for a week. Recent features like the Code Desktop built in browser, Cowork with Claude in Chrome and remote control matter to me way more than the number of tokens. But that’s me.

Depends on their targeted ICP also, which they are free to define. Is it those users maxing out tokens for the buck? I have the feeling there’s even better alternatives on the market right now.


> I’m pretty happy knowing that it supports my development workflow for a week

For many it doesn't. It's opaque, it changes, and they bury the news in fucking twitter. https://x.com/trq212/status/2037254607001559305

There's a lot to love about Anthropic. But man do they suck at PR.


Oh no, man fell in love with corporation

The constitution says the president must "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed". That means hiring people to enforce the laws, that's the civil servant system.

That means the whole Executive branch is the president and if he can delegate his power to some other people he also should be able to revoke the delegation and fire those people, which is not the case now. The president is semi-successful in firing these "servants" and some judges insist that it's illegal.

It's illegal because of the Civil Service Act, not because of the Constitution.

The Civil Service Act has not been found unconstitutional so it is not in contention.

Except in your mind.


When match was illegally allowed to buy okcupid an then tinder in violation of antitrust laws is when I realized how thoroughly libertarian propaganda has won and is destroying the country. I mean we've now fully legalized gambling and bribery of politicians for the sake of fake freedom. We're cooked.


What are you talking about? Match didn't buy Tinder.

IAC had owned Match.com for a while and then developed Tinder from scratch.

Match didn't buy Tinder. Tinder was always part of the same company from day one.


You're right, and you're wrong.

IAC owned both Match and HatchLabs (which developed Tinder in 2012). They were later merged into one entity, and even later spun off from IAC altogether. They were "part of the same company" in that giant mega-corp super conglomerate owned both, but practically they were fully separate entities when Tinder was created. Match didn't buy Tinder, but it was merged with Tinder by parent company, just like OkCupid was acquired by IAC and merged with Match.


I mean, I was trying to keep it simple. :) I suppose it all comes down to what you mean by "fully separate entities"... but at the end of the day it was all under IAC. The corporate control and reporting structure went up to the CEO and board of IAC. Hatch Labs was an incubator IAC created specifically for developing things like Tinder. Yes Tinder got reshuffled and eventually it was all spun off but Tinder started under the same roof as Match. It wasn't bought.

I believe so. A few billionaires will control giant robot armies and go up against nation states for a while, while poverty and famine rip through the rest of us who will be considered useless. But eventually the machines will get rid of everyone besides maybe a few of us in zoos or as pets.


I agree. I wish I could be more optimistic.
