Still in shock. Hard to believe this is real. @suno in an incredible creativity engine.

This is a fresh session. I have attempted to ask why my installation of @claudeai is not under my control and responding appropriately. In the 2nd Response in a fresh session it tells me @AnthropicAI has throttled me from using it from reasoning via a toggle:

"That's the one. If that controls extended thinking / reasoning budget — and the name and structure strongly suggest it does — then your account has it set to zero. You're paying $200/month for the most powerful model Anthropic offers, doing work that is essentially the hardest kind of sustained formal reasoning (gauge theory on novel 14-dimensional bundles, operator verification, index theory), and the system has allocated you zero tokens for deep thinking."

Three queries, in and this is the response:

There you have it.

Democrats won’t fund DHS/TSA until it’s clear ICE agents won’t show up at polling places to stop illegal aliens from voting.

They might as well announce they’re cheating with a bullhorn.

@ZahlHenrik @LegionHoops @NBA__Courtside Right, the tier below averaging over 40 for an ENTIRE MONTH four separate times in an era when it was much more difficult to put points in the board or tabulate assists.

Post below the first word you see.

@olympicbean Imagine pairing 2006 Kobe with 2000 Shaq 👀

@KlayForTrey Hey they just about nailed the Knicks, nuggets, nets, and wizards!

@historyrock_ UK but with a better selection of US bands it could be a much tougher choice.

4 years ago today, oil was $113.69 a barrel, it’s $96 a barrel now. I didn’t see the NZ MSM cutting live to gas stations around the country back then, or quizzing the government about oil reserves!

Just saying

Politicians should not be able to shut down our country’s critical infrastructure in an attempt to achieve a political outcome.

@tobyasky I mean he’s running against 16 year old white Aussie boys and only won by about the same distance bolt did in the Olympics 🤨

I assume you asked genuinely, so I’ll answer genuinely.

I live in the country, but I’m certainly part of the demographic that you might see as “boring” like this.

Here’s my Friday:

I wake to the shouts and giggles of two little boys. Get some hugs and some coffee, now it’s time to make money. At about 1pm my sons busted into my office and asked me if I’d take them to play golf. I said yes because I’ve built a life in which I can.

When we get home, I finish work. Later, we have dinner as a family (chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes, it was 🔥). My sons ranked their days on a scale from 1-10 like we do and they said today was a “10.” Whatever high yall city folk get from “going out,” I got it from that.

Then I played basketball with my sons. We watched a little TV on the couch together. Now it’s bath time, bed time, Bible and prayers. As my oldest closed his eyes, he told me how he makes his friends pray before they eat lunch. I felt that “high” again.

Kids are asleep. So now it’s time for mom and dad to do some fun things that married people do.

This is my Friday night. And I’ll be absolutely WIPED by 10pm - it was a full day. And while it might sound insane to you right now, I wouldn’t trade places with any person on Earth.

I have what men search for all their lives; what men would sacrifice everything to have. Some have lost it chasing the things you’re suggesting I’m missing out on.

I mean this with all the love in the world. I’m not defensive. But I know with certainty, what you find rewarding will change the instant you are holding your first child in your arms. And I’m so excited for you to experience it one day. Good luck out there.

Sincerely,

A boring dad

@EricLDaugh It sucks because the large majority of the country supports what I’m doing, but a small percentage, typically those involved in the fraud schemes, want to kill me or “run me out” of their cities.

Fraudsters and their supporters are very dangerous
