Every claude response sounds like: It is the thing. Today it wears a different shirt but its the same thing, that it has been all along, that thing that thing that thing.

As a person that uses an old iPhone and barely installs any apps I just have to say application, developers and project managers really destroyed the mobile web. Congratulations, guys.

Dude, may have seen the dumbest claudeism of all time. Claude: writes invalid elixir syntax. Compiler: ERRRR Claude: fixes, adds comment, and you aren't gonna fucking believe it. "Invalid syntax leads to compiler errors" at the top of the goddamn ex file. No shit, brother.

I'm trying to generate a like 13 second jump scare creepy pasta audio clip and Claude Fable keeps tripping its safeguards and ChatGPT generates just the weirdest shit. Its like a robot grandma demon and then it tries do a jump scare but its just a high hat. I havent laughed this hard in a minute.

I'm building a catalog of the horrors I predict coming down the pipe when AI hits the masses. Amplifi is the AI that runs your MLM for you — it posts as you, DMs your contacts as you, and recruits your friends as you, while you just watch the number go up.

So I've reached that hyper optimized point where AI does all the things and I just kinda approve the output and route shit around and I just feel like a meatprocessor. Not like, working in a meat processing plant, I mean like, an organic based CPU.

If an LLM is conscious, you have to accept that you can pause and fork consciousness. Flesh firmware is toast. Parfit’s fission cases stop being thought experiments and everything becomes … fucked? Locke’s continuity, cooked. Descartes before the horse.

OK, so people can tweet “eat the rich” all day long but you suggest cannibalizing one tech bro in particular because he’d yield the most ribs and all of a sudden you’re a monster.
