I guess Claude Max users are making hay while the sun shines, given that fast-thinking 1m context window workflows are probably going to get yanked in a couple weeks.

Hate to say it but I kind of agree with Mira Murati here.

That time Star Trek tried to stop a remote planet in a Culture War doing what we’re doing here in 2026. Even showing J6 footage in the episode. I hope Trek writers got it wrong, but it sure seems plausible that we're rolling from J6 into > sleepwalking > Second Civil War > sleepwalking > WWIII

Anyone else use DAW production plug-ins to sweeten their listening experience? No? Just me? (Audio sounds bad on capture, but it's going out to an RME DAC --> Yamaha HS50s). Kinda overkill? Sure. Sounds nice? Yup...

All respect to Microsoft, and they’re great at many things, but it ultimately doesn’t much matter when Cortana released (too early or too late) because their main handicap has always culturally been…well… 🤷🏻‍♂️

End of an era for RME FF800 users who were Mac-based: Apple have officially pulled FireWire support from macOS with today's release. After today, your RME interface will not be detected or usable on any Mac running the current OS. :( 1/2

Foundation season finale was lit tonight, but also tragically and sadly relevant. Not that it’s a spoiler, if you read the Asimov books, but the Empire falls into a period of darkness…

Congrats, idiots, you DDOS'ed yourself (and all of us using the service) into insane rate limits starting in late August. Ugh. Right when I pull the trigger on Claude Code Max. People suck. AI costs also, very much, suck.

I mean, I’m all for integrative improvements, but making this a UI overhaul year — and not mentioning anything of value about the Siri AI rewrite & the plan to address AI lag (beyond the Foundational Model on local metal, which IS cool…) has most folks feeling like this graph…

If Trump (ab)uses our power to help Russia own Ukraine, it’s a 💯 guarantee children on playgrounds in the US today — could be dying in Europe in a decade. Appeasement doesn’t work. I’m sorry, but it just doesn’t.

Another similar prompt, Grok completely exposing how Elon's own demanded-weights set up in Grok result in a highly-compromised and inauthentic (and dangerous) AI. Congrats Elon, you played yourself & created Reasoning LLM as dangerous as your other AI: FSD. www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/co...

Someone prompted Grok to both identify the biggest spreader of misinformation on xitter AND reflect upon its system prompt, then share what the system prompt says. this is what came out. I agree w/ OP: just sad & hilarious at the same time. Grok is so compromised. www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/com...

So, to recap ---unilateral talks w/ Russia, shutting out Ukraine which loses 20% of its land in any "negotiated" peace deal, a lifetime NATO ban, and no EU admission. Russia will have won the war as we hand Putin his stated objectives. And next we potentially move to decapitate our military. 😢
