alkr-g234on AI companies spend record sums on Washington lobbying

And you cannot offer the Kushner family OpenAI shares. The 4 million is just the surface.

alkr-g234on How is the Bun rewrite in Rust going?

We would need to know at least:

- How many people have updated Claude/Bun to the latest version.

- How many subscribers care about reporting issues. Most of them are forced to use the tool against their will and have mentally checked out already. Why report issues if your employer values slop code anyway. Just log the hours and keep your head down. Maybe it is not expedient for the AI narrative to report issues!

- How many subscriptions are real vs. bulk distiller accounts.

- If subscriber numbers are inflated.

Judging by the weird Claude Code Github issues page, there are suspiciously few new issues: about 2 to 3 a day only vs. alleged subscriber numbers of 4 million.
