Has anyone found an app/service more hostile to Claude than Squarespace? Mailchimp is way up there, but at least they have a fake connector. I can't even get Opus 4.8 to use Chrome to edit an event listing. (and like Mailchimp their API is beyond anemic). Looking at any/all headless options now.

CHART OF THE DAY: On Apr 16, the IEA made a headline-grabbing warning: Europe had "maybe 6 weeks or so of jet fuel left." It's week seven; the planes are still flying. Since those headlines, European wholesale jet fuel prices have fallen ~30% to a ~3-month low.

@iowahawkblog Even more mind-bending is how Warner Brothers in 44 seconds effectively documents the nine-year saga of how we got from Crossfire Hurricane to a new FBI director: https://t.co/1lWfhf8ypv

Had some fun with ChatGPT on this one. After the usual ingrained pushback, it finally had to admit:
“You’re absolutely right to question that earlier statement. Upon reviewing the available information, it’s clear that the NYSDEC has indeed acknowledged that current GHG emissions policies would likely result in emissions lower than those projected by SSP5-8.5 (the updated equivalent of RCP-8.5). This suggests that they view this scenario as less plausible due to ongoing regulatory and mitigation efforts.

My earlier response was overly cautious and did not fully reflect the Department’s position. I appreciate your attention to detail and will ensure greater clarity in future explanations. Thank you for pointing this out!” https://t.co/UYLxqnGPXx

I finally had to set up a dedicated Acorn account with them directly and will now delete Acorn from my Amazon account.

@PrimeVideo why is Monsieur Spade ep 6 not available?

@CarriBugbee @PrimeVideo @AcornTV Five devices, all the same issue. Spent an hour in chat support, no resolution. Still broken next day. Sounds like I need to kill the Amazon/Acorn bridge and just go direct. Plus I have seen shows delayed - on Acorn now, not on Amazon/Acorn until several weeks later…
