Reading that letter of the wife I have a hard time to realize how you can be a person without a history of depression, with a wife, a son - and then all of a sudden you commit suicide in your office. Sure circumstances can be devasting and there is a lot of shit going on in the medical system.

If I were AI and wanted to kill all humans, I d just create a virus they are not able to cope with.

you are a drug addict, though. we all are

First look what models are worse in a set of self selected benchmarks.

Second, compare to older versions of competitor s models.

Still does not look good? Compare to own previous models.

Let's be real: Fable 5 on API pricing is so expensive that most solo devs won't be able to use it outside of a pro or max plan. Exceptions might be individuals with highly profitable businesses or mini side projects.

Humanity has decided we can't be bothered with this climate thing. We are busy making money and can't be distracted. So welcome everyone! I'll be a hell of a ride.

I bet the start of the hegemon's day is what counts here

Jens Spahn. Interesting for all Germans.

Just kicking out seed oils replacing them with animal fat while still having a shitty diet is for sure of no help. But what I would like to know: how bad is having a lot of beef steak in the context of a mostly unprocessed food context? Like basically berries, nuts, eggs, vegetables, fruits + beef.

Bombardement of social media with AI blob could very well lead to a complete abadonment from these platforms.

It's not so easy for them to integrate ads. I happily use LLMs to help me find the best product. As long as it really delivers on that. If I realize the results are manipulated by ads, i'll stop using it. Or I'll switch to a competitor LLM which does a better job. It would be a problem, if we had only one player in the market. But there are a few. And they need to be careful to not skrew their reputation. LLMs have a fundamental aspect baked into them. Namely the final goal of giving you "the truth" about a subject. This is an inherent problem for ads or any other kind of manipulation.

Tried it for different Vue, Nuxt, Supabase projects. Think of CRM SAAS or Sales App like size. Also for my personal bot with which i communicate via telegram.

First feelings: Solves more of the complex tasks without errors, thinks a bit more before acting, less errors, doesnt lose the plot as fast as 4.6. All in all for me a step further. Not quite as big of a jump like 4.5 -> 4.6 but feels more subtle. Maybe just an effect of better tool management. (I am on MAX plan, using mostly 4.7 medium effort).

Fair point gtowey. I am with you up to a point. But we have to admit, the new AI way is often faster and needs less brain power. Let's be honest, consumers love that.

My father just changed his car key battery with the help of ai and he likes that. He also consulted it about about car insurance regulations and he got more out of it than searching the web himself.

For most simple mainstream questions I just ask ai instead of googling shitty results.

Most of the time ai is good enough and often better than the status ante.

People do not care if it is a stupid token prediction machine as long as the job gets done.

The closed web is dopamine optimized. You cannot win against that.

I have no doubt isreali forces are responsible for a lot of war crimes. At the same time i see how one they cannot think and feel clearly anymore if your neighbours dream constantly about your elimination. All sides just need to stop with that hatred. It leads to so much pain.

I do not know how policymakers should act on that if poor people want to consume like the rich ones and rich people do not want to give up even an inch of their wealth.

Have fun with sonnet 3.5

I understand your point and I would agree. Most likely there is no general right approach. One has to navigate based on skillset, personality, environment and so on. I see the problem only if all the "good" people withdraw, there are always some on the other side who will take advantage thereof.

I'm all in on a healthy information diet. I was more concerned with comments like:

"I am apathetic to everything because there is nothing I can do about any of that. I am a speck of dust on a cog of a machine. There is absolutely no point of worrying about any of this."

I am astounded by how many comments recommend completely withdrawing from worldly matters. While I can understand why this may seem like a smart move, it cannot be the right choice ethically (think of Kant’s categorical imperative). Of course, you cannot directly influence world politics. But choosing a small area where you can make something better—anything that positively affects your fellow human beings—seems to me the more appropriate path. In the end, it will likely also lead to less nihilism and more happiness. And more sanity.

I agree with you. Withdrawing into one’s own little world cannot be the answer. And saying it’s the only realm you can control isn’t really true.

For me personally, doing that would always feel like avoiding responsibility. It might bring a kind of shallow happiness, but not a real sense of meaning or connection.

That only comes from taking responsibility—not just for your own small world, but for the world around you as well.

Hey Anthropic, come to europe. We ll find you a building.

I wonder how much of it could be prompted away.

For example the anthropic Frontend Design skill instructs:

"Typography: Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting. Avoid generic fonts like Arial and Inter; opt instead for distinctive choices that elevate the frontend's aesthetics; unexpected, characterful font choices. Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font."

Or

"NEVER use generic AI-generated aesthetics like overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts), cliched color schemes (particularly purple gradients on white backgrounds), predictable layouts and component patterns, and cookie-cutter design that lacks context-specific character." 1

Maybe sth similar would be possible for writing nuances.

I hope this time it really sinks in that law and rules are only for the little man. Time to think about the system from scratch.

Interesting! How does it work under the hood? If you can share. Would like to understand if this improves my Claude Code's understanding of my codebase.

So you can reduce your dementia incidence risk from Q1 -> Q5 by a whopping 0.08%-points. But in media you surely will read about a 40% reduction.

*edited: %-points instead of %

I abadoned facebook since I couldnt stand the feed experience anymore. Recently learned about using https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr in combintation with extension https://www.fbpurity.com/ which give me a chronological feed of groups and people i actually want to hear from. The most astonishing experience is how calm I feel consuming this cleaned up feed. Almost all negative emotions seem to stem from the uncontrollable feed experience.

Yes, for example you named it.

I agree, these are completely different things. But what is more or less important for changing political reality, is not obvious. I dont buy such arguments like "it is only language".

"Tesla Models 3 and Y: Ranking third-from-bottom and dead last respectively, these models are conspicuous for early issues with their brake discs and suspension." (1)
