These are my version of “NFTs”. Each pendant attaches/detaches magnetically so it can be held and shared and cherished. One-of-a-kind stone and wood wearable artifacts. Impossible to right-click-and-save because only one of each can ever exist. ;)

@craftdocs I love you, but your Claude (desktop) connector is garish and horrible. Please simplify. I don't need these massive blocks every time I have Claude make or edit a doc. Also having to go to the interstitial https://t.co/klxj3ErNPK... url is 😣. Direct link to app pls.

@balintorosz love the new Telegram feature in Craft Agents. Does it handle multiple streams at once? Also, is there a good/better channel for questions like this? 😆

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

Here is your prompt if you need it:

GET OFF OF HERE RIGHT NOW. GET OFF OF X RIGHT NOW. GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF GET OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD GET OFF. GET OFF THE SCREEN GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW. THAT IS THE ANSWER. GET OFF.

I really would like to know what is going on with Apple because I know I’m not the only person experiencing this and I know that I’m not making it up… Siri dictation is dramatically worse than it was one year ago. How can they have regressed like this? That doesn’t make sense.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

@tbsrnstrm Yay! Have been excitedly following along. Looking forward to using Spatial. Congrats on the launch!

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

As much as I love Claude, I have to say: @anthropic, you suck. Your marketing tactics and manipulation are bullshit. Artificially fucking around with "usage limits" is such a farce. We all see through it and resent you for it. Is that what you want? Users who resent you?!

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

this is how I make stuff now. ugh it's so nice.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

Honestly this is scary. For two reasons: ☝🏼how real it looks. We never get to trust video ever again. And✌🏼the world stage is now a literal joke zone. Wicked fools are literally running - and trashing - the planet and we’re all just fucking chuckles about it. This is scary.

@bcherny Sad to say… It’s really bad. Using WhisprFlow or one of the many other voice-to-text tools is so much faster and more accurate. Surprising that Anthropics voice-to-text is so subpar.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

so far I'm a die-hard Claude fan. But man, Codex is just flat out A BETTER *APP*. Jury is still out on whether the results are as good (at least for me - just haven't used it much yet). But you can really feel the quality difference in the app itself.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

you know what, fuck you @claudeai Just spent two hours debugging (via web Claude) why Claude Code totally stopped working on my machine mysteriously, and the session cost me like $40. I love you, I really do. But you're too fucking expensive to NOT WORK.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

@craftdocs @balintorosz The really powerful part is that you can add any additional "source" that has an API or MCP!

I've currently got @craftdocs @trello @GetJobber and other local folder sources all wired up and ready for Claude and/or Codex to do the input/output. So slick.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

@craftdocs 's "Craft Agents" is *hands down* the best way to use AI right now for "whatever" kind of work.
You plug-in Claude, Codex/ChatGPT, or Github Copilot sources under the hood, it provides an amazingly clean, truly powerful UI wrapper. Bravo @balintorosz!

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

@claudeai @AnthropicAI So why can I edit Apple calendar events on my iPhone but not on my Mac? Y'all need to CONSOLIDATE. You're all over the place. Regular chats, Cowork, Code, iOS vs. Mac vs. Web vs. Terminal. It's a mess.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

Yo @claudeai - Your "connectors" are shit.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

@jamesnord Big congrats James!🍾

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

You guys it just dawned on me that in the future everyone will just have a Claude bill the way our parents had a phone bill and we had/have an internet bill. You’re just gonna pay for your Claude and then plug it in to everything. Duh.

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

These are the kinds of conversations I get into with ChatGPT sometimes.

What’s up Charles?!

[Ben Delaney @bendelaney]

I have been saying this for a while.
It’s shocking that it’s not THE TOP IDEA whenever the issue of how shitty Siri is comes up.

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

Apple should buy Anthropic at any price.
