@karpathy This is what Eliza used to do! We’ve come full circle. “Earlier you mentioned X. Tell me more about that…”

Claude Code is like having an ant farm that you can talk to and who do your bidding.

Kids these days will never know the joy/annoyance of simply reading "Learn to speak Arapahoe" in a tweet and then having the Chicken Song stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

2021: it can’t even autocomplete a line
2022: it can’t even write a whole function
2023: it can’t even pass a coding interview
2024: it can’t even build an app
2025: it can’t even handle complex projects
2026: oh no

Any self-made billionaires out there finding that they are less happy now than before they were rich? I can help!

"When I'm lying on my deathbed aged 93, my biggest regret in life isn't going to have been eating these crisps." - me, justifying eating a third packet today.

@Bucky_cm A much more fleshed out endgame please - from about level 60 it becomes very grindy with the only goal “fill your base with maxed out pals so that you stand a chance against the rage-quittingly tough endgame bosses.” Everything before that is wonderfully balanced.

Pinch, punch, first of the... Whoa. November already.

@thewritertype Made me lol

Someone just pointed out that even if AI development stopped dead today, what we already have would continue to revolutionise almost every industry over the next ten years - medicine, coding, education, etc. But its advances aren't stopping; they are speeding up. Exciting times.

@itsPaulAi Ask it what date it is…! Even with search grounding on, it defaults to 2024 unless pushed to check

Make it stop 😂

@DouglasKMurray Superb book, Douglas. Important and gripping. First time I've ever read a whole book in the same day before. Would recommend to everyone.

@HabsolutelyNice Well done Chris!

Beat #BaldursGate3 in Honour Mode! Spent most of the day plotting exactly how to approach the final battle. Took out the Netherbrain in one round. So happy! #BG3

@JeffDean It’s amazing, but thinks it’s June 2024. When asked to do a live search to get the current date, it thinks it has but is still convinced the date is June 2024, and even concludes my screenshots proving today‘s actual date are fabricated! It thinks I’m gaslighting it. Try.

So this is fascinating. Google's Gemini 2.5 model is generally amazing, but... not only does it think today is June 19, 2024, even after supposedly doing a live web search to check, when I give it a screenshot as proof, it concludes I've fabricated it.

Tip from a travel/coffee enthusiast: when somewhere exotic and looking for proper espresso or other artisan coffee, search google maps for "roastery" to find a cafe that's the real deal.
