We have entered Australia's peak fire season. There are currently 8 active Mega fires (>100km2) across the Northern Territory right now. Over 12 million ha have burnt across the NT in the last 3 weeks. Things are only going to become more extreme over the next month.

The Claude Code leak makes clear the extent to which the wrapping around the “LLM” itself does so much heavy lifting. The stochastic flock starts a murmuration in these places, which are also Anthropic’s way of constraining it. The flock escapes the aviary when systems interact. ⬇️

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.
