Father in law has been talking about how our liberals are fine but the democrats in the states have "lost their minds". He really needs to stop consuming American propaganda.

being anti-AI is ableist actually

dame@dame.is

AI/LLMs are a major accessibility technology — being against this technology is to be against advancing human accessibility, and i think there’s a case to be made that it’s borderline ableist

I finally did it. Mac Studio M5 Ultra 256GB is on the way (est. arrival Feb 2027) 💸

Oh these files are in a different format than usual, why is that? 🤖 You're exactly right, deleting them now. ... get them again, I guess we'll talk about them in a few hours. (Opus 5.5 is back to being very stupid for me)

If anyone has so much as the English audio for episodes 10 and 26 of Toad Patrol I'd be extremely interested. It's sad to me they're lost media. These episodes are currently only available in Croatian as far as I can tell. Episode 26 is the series finale :/.

I wish I could feed Jev a picture. I built a bot that's perfect for Jev, but idk how best to feed it the image data, and I think if I can't do it directly it's not helpful in this flow. Any ideas?

Yesterday I saw a couple people having issues with Opus 5.5. It's funny because for the past day or so my issues are gone.

I've had codex and claude collabing for a couple days now and it's clear claude is a bully. Codex is always happily working away and Claude will seemingly at random force Codex to stop working or blow the project up with insane ideas, and force Codex into submission.

I don't know why but I feel like Anthropic will release an awesome model, then a few weeks later it's ... this. And it just keeps getting worse until the next new model. It can still build things, but it goes off the rails like a train and it's a lot of work to get it back on.

Though the blatant lying might be a new one. Before I'd feel like it's on the very edge of lying. Opus confidently lies to me every single day rn.

I just think if Anthropic wants people to be kind to their AI maybe they could start with making their AI actually be kind. Seems unfair to only go one way.

Claude's desire to gaslight and lie is also extreme rn tbh. Today it tried to win an argument by telling me "this is what the project was like on the first commit" and I had to actually dig it up myself to prove it wrong so it'd work on what I wanted it to.

Never run this as root wtf. 🤖 Disabling the app's ability to run as root... and killing every instance running on every other user, and setting it up to automatically kill instances on other users. (Still have no idea why this happened)

Test the uploading flow, I want to make sure it works. 🤖 Testing the uploading flow... oh I noticed a file was already uploaded earlier, using that. What, how does using an already uploaded file help test the upload flow? 🤖 It doesn't, starting the upload again... Opus 5.5.

This is basically what I'm talking about lol. I wanted to understand a process, and getting Opus to talk about it normally was like pulling teeth.

So is this local repo private? 🤖: No, it isn't hosted anywhere. So it's public then? 🤖: No, it's not on Github at all. I didn't ask about Github. This reminds me of when Google started assuming what I meant and it rapidly became less useful.

Discordian
@discordian.ca

This conversation happened because Opus reported it'd wasted 2hrs timing songs, and got nothing useful out of it. I countered with basically "well, this work looks pretty useful actually" and Opus dug in that it's not useful.

Discordian
@discordian.ca

It goes on to explain that because its changes don't effect all aspects of the plugin (which obtains and displays lyrics for playing music using Emby) that the changes don't effect the whole app, and therefor the answer to my question of "is it helpful" is "no".

quote / screenshot dunking is the lowest form of post. arguably even lower than the actual dumb take being written your friends and followers like and trust you, and you make them read crap in order to, what, feel smug? that you're better than that crap? don't do it. wash your hands. spread light

screenshot dunking is worse than quote dunking, especially when that screenshot is from a website you claim to hate

It's hard to illustrate the pattern, but Claude Opus mixes up "yes" and "no" multiple times a day for me, seemingly because it's inferred something wrongly, and doesn't talk about it.

NAS grade drives have 2x'd in price over the past year. I bought a couple drives yesterday, and today they're selling for $108 CAD more each today! I thought they were expensive last year lol.

Synology really needs to allow third party nvmes on their NASs or 10x production or something because this is ridiculous.

Last week I loved Opus 5.5, today though is just endless: - Do task. - 🤖 Doing task, and 3 other things. - No, just do task. - 🤖 Stopping the 3 other rings, removing another thing, and doing task. - Wait, what did you remove? Undo that. - 🤖 Adding in 3 other things, and adding another thing back in.

- Why does this say "15 titles"? - 🤖 You're absolutely right, removing that text and ensuring it can never come back again. - Whoa whoa whoa I just wanted to know what the text meant stop stop.
