Absolutely the worst airline. We would literally be better off with easyJet or Ryanair as our flag carrier. Their services are basic, but they know how to actually run planes, websites and apps, unlike these jokers.
@British_Airways
He’s typing in a search bar, quick show him the search option he’s looking for.
Perfect. He typed the next letter that is also the next letter in the option we just showed him so take that option away and show him an option that doesn’t match at all

@spolsky taught us about rewrites over 25 years ago, but every generation insists on learning the hard way.
Rewrites are always underestimated, and rarely worth it.
OpenAI has seen Anthropic's stunning growth, but also its weaknesses, and is twisting the knives as hard as it can.
Run out of compute -> we have plenty
Treating customers like crap -> we'll treat them great
@DanielLockyer That's not the weird thing. Of course they have outdated knowledge.
The weird thing is: model providers never seem to train for that!
Surely it's trivial to train the model to think and act with the assumption that it's operating in the future, not frozen in time.
@buccocapital@bhalligan There was an old anecdote about a call-centre optimising call duration by just hanging up calls...
I'd say the right equation is more complex and has to include all of your real objectives, e.g.
- High resolution rate
- Low time to resolve
- Low all-in costs (agent, humans, etc)
We're doing the "Blender" game again
There is a large blender.
Everyone in the world has to decide whether to step into the blender. If at least 50% of the people do step into the blender, it will be unable to overcome their inertia to get started, and everyone survives.
If less than 50% of the people step into the blender, then they all get blended up into paste and die.
People who do not step into the blender suffer no adverse effects.
Would you step into the blender?
(Blue=step into the blender, Red= don't do that)
@buccocapital Imagine pursuing a career that you hate so much. It's so unrewarding that you'd rather spend your best years as a pauper than work into your early 40s. These people have made some terrible life-choices.
Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1:
Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight?
Me: Yes they're done.
Partner: Why are they still dirty?
Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.
@steipete@thsottiaux Huh? Sorry, but that page is about Codex credits for Open Source?!
I see nothing about the terms of paid subscriptions.
Until now, I haven't used OpenClaw because I don't want to be the next person to be banned. We need the OK in official docs, not just a personal tweet.
@GergelyOrosz Anthropic is evidently winning on growth, model and product quality, but starved for compute.
So I bet management has said: "We MUST reduce inference load. Try not to lose too much quality."
A difficult tightrope to walk. Let's see if their reputation survives it.
@VictorTaelin Anthropic is evidently under huge scaling pressure, and not model quality or product pressure.
So you can bet anything that comes out in the immediate future will be optimised for lower inference load. And they will dilute the quality a little to achieve that.
