Wildly different scenarios. You don't exactly get to pick how conveniently your enemy aligns themselves with objectives.

Cool. If I understand correctly though, the single-kernel only works on a single GPU right- no parallelism support to go Q8 on 2x3090?

> We've also lost the focus on clearly defined objectives for war.

Are you saying we had this in Vietnam?

And I don't think the evidence is strong that these "hard lessons" did anything to keep that same generation from supporting the pointless wars that followed.

I like the idea of civic engagement / service in theory too, but I feel like the Vietnam war was a demonstration of possible failure modes when draft is in place: a lot of poor kids died, some rich kids allegedly used parental influence to dodge the draft. No incentive for leaders to avoid war while loop holes remain for their own interests.

I am planning to cancel my Claude sub after I've used up remaining tokens this weekend. Model is fine but the harness and reliability have absolutely nosedived. Just unacceptable for the high price.

Vibe-coded way too much of their own infra.

Will give it a try but my experience with Claude and browser use so far is that it’s extremely lazy: it rarely notices or cares when something doesn’t look right, it needs lots of pointing out “hey you ignored that broken render” etc

"Not everything" - sure, but mass surveillance and autonomous killing are kind of big things to sweep under that rug no?

Output tokens are more expensive

The email use case is interesting, though I feel like dictating via intermediary AI sounds more tedious to me than just using the email app on my phone.

Thanks for sharing, can you give any specific examples of the kind of personalized tools that you find helpful?

100%. Every time I see a Claude Code announcement I sigh when I still can't get the desktop app to fullscreen without fritzing or make a plan and display it consistently. Many papercuts.

It's like they oversold capacity and are looking for excuses to get rid of users lol

Opus is fine but it's not THAT much better than the alternatives. I want to support Anthropic because they seem "less shady" than OpenAI but they sure seem determined to push people away.

Claude sets an environment variable to prevent nested invocation, but I've found it can be unset. No idea if they consider that a violation of the secret laws though.

Haven't Github-triggered LLMs already been the source of multiple prompt injection attacks? Seems bad.

Yeah in the span of a month or so we had:

- SDK that allows you to use OAuth authentication!

- Docs updated to say DO NOT USE OAUTH authentication unless authorized! [0]

- Anthropic employee Tweeting "That's not what we meant! It's fine for personal use!" [1]

- An email sent out to everyone saying it's NOT fine do NOT use it [2]

Sigh.

World: What's your uptime?

Anthropic: 9.

World: 9 nines? That's awesome!

Anthropic: No, a singular 9. 90-something percent uptime.

That is something of a broken promise in the SaaS world; it was supposed to be convenience but instead it became a hundred broken integration points as you struggle to keep up with deprecated APIs and acqui-hires killing off shims you wouldn't have needed if everything had been on-prem to begin with.

Totally agree, though I'd argue that it's still a software failure if preventing exploits requires every user memorize and follow an onerous list of best practices.

Yes, previous models found vulnerabilities but Mythos is uniquely capable of actually exploiting them: https://red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-preview/

No, Opus has found a lot and 112 vulnerabilities were reported to Firefox alone by Opus [0]. But Mythos is uniquely capable of exploiting vulnerabilities, not just finding them.

That's not quite true, even a year ago LLMs were finding vulnerabilities, especially when paired with an agent harness and lots of compute. And even before that security researchers have been shouting about systemic fragility.

Mythos certainly represents a big increase in exploitation capability, and we should have anticipated this coming.

Maybe it's marketing, but I think it's regrettable that Anthropic paired project Glasswing with Mythos. It really makes it seem like Mythos is the threat, rather than the fact that tons of vulnerabilities have always been ignored throughout the software world.

If Glasswing has been started years ago with the goal of applying fixes to AI-found gaps, then this would just be another model to add to that effort. But doing so in the ominous shadow of some new super model boosts panic IMO.

"Why be afraid of nukes it's not like they WANT to blow up"

That's a pretty extreme take on the current situation IMO, I don't think we're anywhere near things being that bad. But I certainly want to avoid that.

> first

Priorities in the wrong order.

> lines like this that make the agenda far more clear: "Young people, people of color, queer folks, activists, and organizers use Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook every day."

What does that make clear?? Stop hinting and just say what you mean...?

What is the agenda? You're hinting at some conspiracy but I have no idea what it could even be

And it scales up - the $200 plan gets you something like 20x what the Pro plan gets you. I've never come close to hitting that limit.

It's obviously capital-subsidized and so I have zero expectation of that lasting, but it's pretty anti-competitive to Cursor and others that rely on API keys.

No, we come up with a serious plan for a post-labor future.

In the USA you can't even get healthcare without a job. Meanwhile tech companies are dumping billions into the race to make humans unemployable. So yeah, until people feel like their leaders can be trusted to have their back, they're going to be anxious.

Yeah. A think there are a lot of tech enthusiasts like myself that find it amazing from a tinkering and curiosity standpoint, but terrifying from a power and those-who-wield-it standpoint.
