The music behind this is distinctive. Anyone know what it is? I would guess it’s some kind of, well, shibboleth.

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A doctor at her desk says, "Mr. Johnson, I have to talk to you. Please have a seat." Panel 2: Mr. Johnson crosses his arms. "Absolutely not. I know that trick." Panel 3: "If I sit down, you'll tell me I'm gonna hear the worst. So I prefer standing." Panel 4: The doctor thinks to herself, "Damn... this guy's good."

And you know this! You know that a Reuters article about Anthropic's 2025 numbers is going to mislead people who are unaware of how much their revenue changed this year

Anthropic lost $8 billion in 2025 against $12 billion in revenue... but that was before they started pulling in that much revenue /per quatter/ in 2026 as companies started blowing millions of dollars on coding agent tools that hardly existed a year ago

Forget Godel and Turing, this far out you could get what you need from a small excerpt from Clausewitz. Friction in operations is real, dawg, and it will eat you alive. Just ask the last super-smart person who got anywhere close to conquering the world. It won't be any easier for a computer.

“Everybody’s got a computer or smartphone and knows how to use it and that’s where they do most of their tasks, using popular services linked to our system” is a huge infrastructural assumption that just does not universally hold

A lot of this shit, like every query draining a lake, is akin to a religious belief at this point and they’re not gonna be reasoned out of position they weren’t reasoned into. We have two flavors of AI psychosis now basically.

You don't have an inalienable right to be an antisocial dipshit because you're doomscrolling all day and it makes you feel terrible. There are no qualifiers to this. You are not released from the obligation to try to be decent just because Elon Musk is lighting the world on fire.

I don’t have a ridiculously wide screen so I haven’t had to solve this problem, and Apple People don’t have either, so they won’t solve it in the OS. Can the Ultrawide present itself as three actual screens in firmware? That’s what I’d look at. Then you have a menu bar per screen.
