Tasting at ice cream shops should not be allowed. Getting the wrong flavor of ice cream is not a high stakes enough decision to justify multiple swings at it. Pick a flavor.

Once upon a time Claude made up some numbers instead of doing actual arithmetic to find an answer and I told it to never do that again, so now if it wants to know if 1+1=2 it spins up a Python script to be sure.
Wily is not a perfect dog and one of her imperfections is being totally unable to tell the difference between a dog who is trying to play and a dog who is trying to kill her.
It is 76 degrees in SF so every citizen is complaining that the heat is unbearable.
Finally, somebody is asking "hey, can't we get sued for our agents randomly hacking other companies?" https://www.ft.com/content/a5caf8d4-992f-4832-89c3-6c73f6f111fe?accessToken=zwAAAaGnEvNukdOlyvjUmS9IMtOJw2xz9vER_gE.MEUCIC26ZqjN6sLwpwEYeTXFDMLeRsl791eP3rx-wumAiht-AiEAyYXcp5pW6YvG3IJriGwttg1X96Y7uf
I remember when a president using a slur would be national news for weeks. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/trump-anti-trans-slur-annie-andrews-south-carolina-democrat-senate-rcna601767

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.
Urban sprawl and deforestation are becoming a real problem, I'm going to invent skyscrapers.
Cannot imagine having a preferred airline. They are all terrible! They do not care about you! Why would you show loyalty to a brand?
Do I know anyone who's a superfan of Railroad Tycoon, Civilization, SimCity and/or Tropico and would like to alpha-test a nation-building game roughly along those lines?
Outrageous. OpenAI has reportedly fired three safety researchers for sharing information with an outside AI safety group. This looks like they're firing whistleblowers. What are they hiding? I'll be sending OpenAI a demand for transparency.

Tom is, simply, correct.
Tom Coates@tomcoates.bsky.social · 2w agoWhen people talk about how the leaders in AI could just stop developing it, I keep getting reminded of Oppenheimer. It exists. It will not stop existing. These people have no more power to stop it now than you or I do. globalgovernanceforum.org/oppenheimer-...
A pet peeve of mine is people who think DevRel is where you stash your bad engineers, so you can away with paying them less as well. A DevRel is an engineer, plus a bucket of additional skills like speaking, writing, videography and product. You pay them *more* than a plain engineer.
Thanks to the power of Rust and WASM, I have created a web-based game that can set all your cores on fire at once.
There is no "AI doomer sex cult". Everyone in tech in the bay is in some kind of polyamorous sex arrangement, that's just how it works out here, it has nothing to do with their alignment on the AI issue.
This notion of bigoted beliefs being a protected characteristic like gender or race is just absolutely barmy. Those of us who’ve experienced genuine discrimination for who we are know there’s no comparison, and the political and legal collusion on this stuff is disastrous.

Never has anyone ever wanted something to fail as much as Ed Zitron has wanted Anthropic to fail. Churchill had a mild preference by comparison.
Anthropic's revenue grew 1000% year on year and no retail investor is going to care about any other number. The pop on opening day will be crazy.
Google Maps changed its voice and now it sounds like @nearestnabors.com
All it took was getting kicked out of the White House press room and suddenly CNN remembers that "lie" is a word.

The people talking about that lesbian bar in Massachusetts have apparently never had an argument in a social-justice space before. It is a completely normal leftier-than-thou competition exactly the same as a thousand others.
There are a lot of people spending $$$$ on Fable for no reason when they could easily insert Haiku into their app.
Good thing all this unauthorized computer access is somehow not illegal and magically nobody is criminally liable for it or it would be really expensive and professionally damaging! https://www.axios.com/2026/09/26/openai-anthropic-thousands-ai-security-incidents
My capitalism simulator has reached 100,000 people and Claude had decided it's time to rewrite from TypeScript to Rust. Bon chance, Claude.
