@theo Every single output / response to a query today began with “ok — confirmed it’s not malware!”

Anthropic and Alignment

Anthropic is in a standoff with the Department of War; while the company's concerns are legitimate, it position is intolerable and misaligned with reality.

@AnthropicAI I understand the Windows app is low priority (ironic considering your enterprise focus).

I do not understand an undismissable error banner.

Please throw one second of compute at adding a “allow Claude to fix this” or better yet a "dismiss all" button.

Venezuela pops off → US rare earth catches the fade, quick de-rate. Everyone else scrolls past.

Buyside finance bro here. Manus isn’t trying to out-IQ Claude—it wins on orchestration: scaffolding + UI + connectors + workflows. Basically Claude Code with a consumer front-end and fewer sharp edges.
What actually matters:
• Email-native ops: recurring tasks to inbox; triggers on filings/PRs/news/earnings; “email a prompt” to run workflows without wiring up n8n
• App/dashboard shipping: stand up a real app fast without auth/backend babysitting; inspect the underlying data so the build is durable, not vibes- no need to pray refactoring a spreadsheet worked perfectly
• Context handling: throws lots of sources at the model without face-planting
• Deck iteration: edit AI slides like PPT—80% → presentation-ready fast

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

The reporting below comes from CNBC.
If I’m counting correctly, that makes at least five Federal Reserve officials who have been accused of financial irregularities since 2020—some confirmed, others not.
You see why I include the culture of compliance among the areas in urgent need of reform at the Fed?
(Isn’t it interesting that this came out on a Saturday?)

The only thing worth watching at the Jets game today was these guys next to me holding up their buddy on the Simba cam 🦁 #Jetup #MetlifeStadium #JetsVSPanthers

@getcompoundai Would love access to the beta!!

Claude's unwillingness to continue conversations after the context window is full is very frustrating. I am okay losing early context if I am working interactively on a project & making progress, I am not okay with suddenly being cut off and being forced to start a new chat.

@dotproductt @theo lol the best take 😂

Dwarkesh Patel is 100% right on this: AI's utility is very strongly dependent on continual learning.

@TheBTCTherapist Way more FOMO / insane / inevitable vs today.

I thought this was quite heartwarming. Loneliness such a problem today.
