@StochasticGhost @thsottiaux Yes to this. Especially when I am iterating on docs

@christianoboria And have you thought about the cherrypicking in that article and the ideological parkour?

This reads like a propaganda.

Think through the consequences.

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@SemmlerJiri @tomcupr Yeah. Codex remote is great

disgrace

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

Today is a dark day for freedom and democracy in Europe. General chat surveillance has been implemented in Brussels. A disgrace.

The so-called Chat Control 1.0 cleared a crucial hurdle in the European Parliament today. This means platforms may once again be allowed to scan private messages, officially on a “voluntary” basis, but in practice this marks the return of indiscriminate monitoring of private communication.

What makes this especially bitter is that a majority of the MEPs who voted were reportedly against it. According to Patrick Breyer, 314 MEPs voted against the regulation, 276 voted in favor and 17 abstained. And yet the rejection failed because it was not enough to have a simple majority of those voting. An absolute majority of all MEPs would have been required.

That is the democratic scandal.

When a majority of those present votes against a proposal and it still passes because a formal threshold is not reached, it does not feel like democratic decision-making to many citizens. It feels like a procedural trick.

And it becomes even more problematic when you look at the context: Chat Control had already been rejected before. Yet the issue was put back on the agenda shortly before the summer break, through an urgent procedure, at a time when absences could become decisive.

This is not just some technical regulation. It goes to the very core of private communication. It is about whether digital messages remain fundamentally private or whether platforms may systematically scan content again, without concrete suspicion, without a court order and without any individual cause.

A free society must not turn private communication into a potential surveillance zone. Anyone who takes digital fundamental rights seriously cannot accept millions of innocent people being placed under general suspicion.

Today, a dangerous signal was sent: fundamental rights can be hollowed out through procedural logic, timing and political tricks. Not through an open, clear and honest majority, but through a system in which absence effectively helps the supporters.

This is a dark day for Europe.

Not because the fight is over, but because today showed how easily digital fundamental rights come under pressure when surveillance logic, symbolic politics and institutional tricks come together.

Anyone who wants a free internet, anyone who wants to protect private communication and anyone who takes democracy seriously should talk about this.

Share this issue. Inform yourself. Look at who voted how. And never forget: freedom rarely disappears all at once. It disappears step by step, often in technical details, often in complicated procedures and often exactly when too few people are watching.

@dani_avila7 Do this for emails. So spammers have to pay me to litter my inbox

@claudeai You could improve Claude code from mobile so I can start new tasks on my computer in the folders that Claude can access. Today I have to rely on the remote and when I have no remote connected, I am out of luck.

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@synopsi Maybe the Codex / Claude is :)) But it extracts your ideas and processes at scales. Then sells them back to you per token.

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@EXM7777 How many tokens???

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@simonw What is your experience with using TDD type skills or “superpowers” type plugins with Fable?

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@synopsi Or you can honor their license and not be a cheap bastard :)

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@synopsi @jamesckemp Yep. The imagegen part is key. For some reason LLMs can do perfect images and then you have the visual eval

@gallabytes I am sure Tag feels great and is a great product. It is an attempt to not become commodity model provider.

The risk for your business? The “context / learnings” are not portable. So you get locked-in to proprietary system.

Slack data was never portable. Claude even less so.

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@gregisenberg This is a great way to loose control of your context and become dependent on specific model provider. Anthropic is trying to find a way how not to become a commodity.

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@karpathy @salomon_diei Yeah, the Slack part turns me off. For now. Slack is a lot of noise.

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@synopsi What is gomoufox? :)))) I learn something new everyday

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@synopsi @jtaby Me too, but weekly :)

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@PawelHuryn Wait so Fable is back in US already?

[Jan Ko @korkito]

@eoghan @salesforce @fin_ai this is genuinely bad news. I hope future proves otherwise.
