Me: what if I guess wrong?
IRS: jail
Happy tax day!
the fucking wildest 7 days in U.S. defense history

- pentagon demands anthropic gives them unadulterated access to claude for mass surveillance and autonomous killing weapons
- anthropic says “fuck you”
- trump blacklists them calling them woke pussies, Pete Hegseth designates them a “supply-chain risk”
- Openai swoops in with better terms stealing anthropic’s deal, securing ChatGPT as the military’s preferred ai model.

It's funny, I'm hearing from friends at different companies that there are two kinds of product teams right now:
a) Those that are getting friction trying to move from docs / slides / endless meetings to a more all-hands on deck prototyping approach with AI and thus still shipping slow
OR
b) Those who are in absolute chaos because everyone is vibe coding everything and now there are 1000 new feature and product ideas, and there is no strategic direction whatsoever, just spaghetti against the wall
Truly the renaissance.
Thank you Jeff, for solving the mystery of why people interested in making toys no longer visit my website.
It was a puzzle why, recently, traffic fell to zero - since my website had always been a helpful resource to answer questions about toy making.
The interested individuals would read a few Q and A's and often email me and I could work with them to make toys.
Now all that is gone. I didn't know where it went or why it disappeared.
It's because you scraped my website and used my work to build an AI based system that cuts me off.
Thanks!
