At Craft, we've always believed that, true productivity isn't necessarily about doing more – it's about making the things we already do feel simpler, smoother, and more natural.
Today, we’re excited to share our latest step in that direction: Chaps.
@AmandaAskell Also it feels as if Claude often asks questions for the sake of asking a question at the end of the response and can’t just stop without adding a question as a way to ‘be engaging’
@AmandaAskell I want Claude to be less ‘action focused’ - it keeps suggesting to create an action plan, create a routine, provide milestones etc for the conversations where I just want to explore the possibility and understand the topic.
A very important thread from @yishan which is not really about Elon/Twitter but rather what it takes to run a big social network, raises a number of great qq that I remember trying and failing to answer
I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter.
So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out)

The latest horrors out of Putin's war on Ukraine put the remaining Western holdouts against stronger action in an unbearable position. Excuses are now complicity, not prudence, not just cowardice.
Massive amount of people volunteer to the territorial defense in Zaporizhzhia. Russia will not be able to win a war against the entire Ukrainian population. That's a fact.
My story on Russians fleeing to to escape the political and economics consequence Putin’s war will have on their country
“My future is taken away from me. Russia will never be the same”

Russian MPs – including Andrei Lugovoi, of Litvinenko poisoning fame – are introducing a bill to send anyone arrested protesting the war in Ukraine to "perform military service on the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics"
Ukraine breaking my heart right now. The sight of humanity fleeing to the unknown. Of underslept, stunned children, staring into the distance. Of babushkas doing their best to comfort grandkids, but crying when they aren’t looking. Of huge crowds but deafening silence.
How does Putin fall? A million Russians in Red Square? A palace coup of military or security? An oligarch's rebellion? All of the above. It must be apparent that Putin is an obstacle to their goals, whether of power, liberty, or prosperity.
And I had so many conversations like this over the past ten years: ‘I really like your Putin!”
“And why exactly is that?”
“He’s strong. Tells the truth. And he’s against America. Not like the slugs we’ve got here.” WTF??!
‘Our medieval pyramid has stood tall for all that time, its surface changing, but never its form. And it’s always been a single Russian ruler sitting at its peak: Pyotr I, Nicholas II, Stalin, Brezhnev. Today, Putin has been sitting at its peak for more than 20 years.’
