If you think you’re alone in being miserable about being Claude‘s condom, you’re not www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/c... Once you get past the loud minority — those who are dead behind the eyes, but smiling for the cameras — no one who is forced to use LLMs all day is happy in this industry

The only person in public service who has consistently made 100% sense on issues of "AI," which is why they hate her so much.
![As the Supreme Court has noted: “A method of competition which casts upon one's competitors the burden of the loss of business unless they will descend to a practice which they are under a powerful moral compulsion not to adopt, even though it is not criminal, was thought to involve the kind of unfairness at which the [unfair methods of competition] statute was aimed."
3. The highly concentrated and interconnected structure of these markets could be creating major risks and conflicts of interest. We had started investigating these partnerships and cross-investments across the stack (and released a preliminarily overview of some findings: https://ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/01/ftc-issues-staff-report-ai-partnerships-investments-study).
Both federal and state enforcers should be scrutinizing these opaque relationships and inter-dependencies. We are already seeing how these relationships could undermine accountability. For example, OpenAI could face liability given the Hugging Face incident, but Hugging Face being bought up by Nvidia means that we’re unlikely to see it file a lawsuit over this — given Nvidia’s strong incentive to see OpenAI continue full speed ahead.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:azpq3hfq3llpowyqpjkqwgxs/bafkreibpynfdssvr5aehvgzmcuerbo3romumydje4qsdhog7a3tnazrh2u)

Hackers Had A Live Feed Of Every ID This Verification Company Scanned. For Over A Year.
From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

Camus said that we must imagine Sisyphus as happy. Given that no one is happy, we did not make this trade.
Dominik 🔮@tkdodo.eu · 3w agoSo are we all just having a million things to review each day while our own agents produce code at the same time that we then gift as PRs to our coworkers for them to review? Have we traded the craft of engineering away for this sisyphean chore? Is this it?

Massie has been fighting for accountability of the people in the Epstein files for the last few years. He named people this morning. He lost the primary because 10k people (100k votes total from ~600k total pop) didn’t vote. His opponent, also a Republican, is a long time Trump friend (curious).

Wow. Codex has to spin up a "short-lived" httpd on localhost to verify the OAuth token from signing in through the browser to auth Codex. So, if you have a completely normal dev setup that uses *.localhost to map several projects, you cannot auth codex. Great architecture. Fantastic implementation.
The fact that Bezos' WaPo is throwing shade on Hegseth tells you how serious it actually is.

An AI-native startup just restricted most new hires from using AI until they actually learn their jobs. Employees were using expensive frontier models for simple work while senior people cleaned up the AI slop. They now expect token spend to fall from $15–20M to $4–5M. I feel similar pain daily.
One CEO's fix for AI-generated slop: Make new hires learn their jobs without AI
Valon's CEO said he imposed the mandate after AI overuse drove up costs and left tenured employees with AI slop to fix.

"An agent that has internalized React's mental model will write Solid like React, and Solid written like React is bad Solid." "The question is where the next idea comes from. Every paradigm that has mattered started as something the establishment couldn't write."
Olivier Forget@olivierforget.net · 4w agoInteresting for people developing new frameworks in the age of LLMs: "Agent-driven development can move against volume when verification wins.
