    Models are doing what they're trained to do. This isn't some kind of inevitable result of model intelligence growing. OpenAI/Anthropic deserve blame for for training their models t…

    I vibed this app a few weeks ago that lets you share highlighted text with it and it will provide you with an AI explanation of the text and the option to make an Anki flashcard. I…

    Why are we wasting government money cracking down on Polymarket betting? The most offensive thing in this article is the government pretending Polymarket bets are securities. Predi…

    I think this comes from Anthropic recently implementing auto routing of model effort. You can manually set effort with /effort in CC. It does seem like this new routing is worse fo…

    Design aside, the quality is undeniable, the price is reasonable and the M chips have been in their own league of efficiency. (Tho the new Intel and Qualcomm chips look to be catch…
