Hey hot take but I actually don’t give a fuck if expelling a rapist from school “ruins his future”

As far as I'm concerned every anti trans Democrat is much worse for minorities than a Republican. They'll be similar in the short term, but long term they'll be much worse as they'll justify the rest of the party throwing more minorities under the bus if they win.

Em loves drawing and playing Mario Kart with me lately, so I combined these things into a new sketch book for her. 5 years old already beating me on Rainbow Road 💀
A front cover of a sketchbook decorated with Mario, Yoshi, a large Yoshi egg, and the words “super Emily world” coloured in alternating Red, Blue, Yellow, Green letters mimicking the same colours as Super Mario World logo from the 1990s game. Hand drawn with pencil, coloured with felt pens, then outlined with fine black gel pen and rubbed for sharp edges

EVERYTHING I use Claude for (any model) is the worst experience of a model right now. Assumptions, ignoring instructions, just hallucinating. Every model I try is better. DeepSeek V4 Flash is just amazing. Why anyone would use Claude for a daily driver anymore is beyond understanding.

While Kessler Syndrome is nothing to do with moon debris, Crater-gate did make me look up the status of our own point of no return - news not good, it’s already started 😭 On the plus side, this means Mars will be safe from us. On the downside, the wankers causing it doing it deny climate change

Only the second time in my life that it’s been so hot and dry it has killed this field and pitch
Photo of a rugby pitch in the distance, in the UK, during our 8th week of no rain and 30+ Celsius heat with no rain forecast for the next 2 weeks at least, the grass is completely dead with not a green blade in sight for almost a hector of land

Also in there: a claim that 2.0 beats Deepgram Nova 3 and ElevenLabs Scribe v2 on WER by 1.5-2x, 10x in noise. Vendor-run eval, but the direction matters. Speech-to-speech models are coming for dedicated STT. Full writeup: lukeocodes.dev/grok-voice-2...

Grok Voice 2.0 Ships With a Quiet 60% Price Rise — Luke Oliff
Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 launched July 29, 2026 at $0.08/min, up from $0.05. On August 5 the grok-voice-latest alias migrates you automatically.

Luke @lukeocodes.dev · 30/07/2026
A floating model alias is a pricing surface. If you run the default, the vendor decides your invoice. 🚨🔥 Pin grok-voice-think-fast-1.0 before Aug 5 if you want to choose when you pay 60% more. It's one line 🔥🚨

On August 5, grok-voice-latest auto-migrates from 1.0 to 2.0. "No action needed to upgrade." Also no action needed to go from $0.05/min to $0.08/min. That sentence is missing. At 100k minutes a month that's $5,000 becoming $8,000 while you're on holiday.

xAI shipped Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 yesterday. 82.9% on the AA speech-to-speech index, 0.70s to first audio, top agentic score on the board. The interesting part is at the bottom of the announcement, and it costs you money.
