PSA for anyone using Claude Projects to compartmentalize their work: check your project settings right now. September 16-17 Anthropic turned off project issolation (new Sharing memories toggle for sharing across your account is on by default now).

Also, clearly late to the game but reallly good stuff, I'm glad I found it: Angie de Poitrine. Serious Clown Core vibes with some solid King Crimson/Adrian Belew intensity.

Sigh... Guess I'm done with Denny's now :( $62 for an omelet and a skillet... with 18% so that's out the door. Wtf are we doing people. Nobody can afford this.

Controversial take... I get the impression that most of the current "video game history" projects are nothing more than vanity, collection projects. Prove me wrong.

Just discovered Illit "It's me" (super catch song) but then I got to "Not Me" and was like, hey this reminds me of that Ting Tangs song "That's not My Name"... ends up not a coincidence, Katie White has writing credits... and almost 20 years later it's clearly still a problem. Sigh.

Riding an elevator down to the 1st floor, it stops on the 2nd floor and the people get in and immediately look to press the lvl 1 button... Like... was there someplace else this elevator could be going?

Everything you know about the first AI winter is wrong. It was a hit job. Minsky learned from Pitts and McCulloch. Then he buried their field for twenty years. The same institutional pattern that shaped the first AI winter is running again today.

Name the most frivelous thing you can think of to do with a time machine that would just bring you a simple joy. For me? Go back and tell Yngwie Malmsteen to never have a volcalist perform with him. Shuuddder. So much good music ruined.

Listening to AI crafted music playlists and it's giving me vibes of the Halyan't'a aliens and the reggae music playing through the internal sound system of their ship in the novel First Flight (1987-Chris Clairmont). IDK, weird flashback jump but there it is 39 years later. Damn good book.

Anthropic broke a real workflow 24 hours ago from this post. Claude 4.7 Adaptive is speculating before reading, dropping context, hallucinating details, and burning usage limits while doing it. That’s not a refinement. That’s a regression.

Graphic on a dark, textured blue background with large white and orange headline text reading “Problems with Claude 4.7 Adaptive.” Below are four warning-style icons in a row, each with a label and short caption: “Speculative Replies” with “Guesses before reading,” “Context Loss” with “Forgets what’s there,” “Hallucinated Details” with “Confidently makes things up,” and “Excessive Usage” with “Burns through limits.” The overall style is bold, industrial, and alarm-like, emphasizing product regression and reliability problems.

Article roll-up and this set of links now goes to my own server instead of LinkedIn's article site. Four articles in a planned eight part series but there's always room to add more if it fits. Here are 1-4 below. Please feel free to share your thoughts, I'd love to discuss.

🧵 1/9, I asked four AI systems the same question, in short: Given the content of the complete works of Michael Moorcock. What character from his books would you most identify with. Four different systems. Four different characters. Zero repeats.

Fantasy painting of two pale hands gripping the hilt of a large matte black longsword covered in faintly glowing angular rune inscriptions. The blade extends diagonally across the frame against a moody sky of violet, mauve, and teal gradients over a dark calm ocean. Distant crystalline spires rise from the horizon on the right. Painted in a dreamlike retro-fantasy style.

....so I'm doing a little parody thing. Feel free to check it out. There's alot going on and alot under construction but the two main sites are now live. It's structured alot like an ARG but it isn't, it's just me working out some creativity with new tools.

I posted a few LinkedIn articles I wrote and was wondering if there might be a better way to share them for BlueSky readers. I can duel host them on my personal website if that's more appealing. Thoughts? I'm just surprised I have gotten no discussion at all given the topics.

AI doesn't invent bias, it codifies it. When you walk away from the tools you don't agree with, you leave them to be influenced by the people you disagree with most. Abstention isn't neutrality. It's choosing to be invisible in the algorithms.

We need to have a real conversation about engaging with AI tools in the long term. If you just avoid using these tools then your voice and your perspective don't get represented in the training data.
