after about ~4 hours of claude tag i'm calling the ball - anthropic's product people have officially lost the plot. 'ill-conceived' doesn't even begin to describe my feelings on this. also, they give you 25k in credit because it defaults to fable 5 and also watches _every slack message sent_
so weird to watch the anti-ai mob continually turn inward and attack people who agree with them on increasingly fine differences of opinion. wonder what's up with that.
you know I hate to admit it but openai is kinda cooking these days at least with agentic coding. 5.5 just does the thing without getting stressed like 4.7/4.8 seem to.
some commentariat on the “AI deskilling” thing - memorization isn’t mastery. I’ve met plenty of certified whatever’s who passed a test saying they knew k8s or c# or whatever that I wouldn’t trust in my repo
killer degree for the AI era gotta be library science
ai - letting you do really stupid shit, at scale
AI psychosis is real but it's not what you think it is
anyway a complete aside but I have found the best way to make a TUI in 2026 is to have the UI be a thin presentation layer over a daemon process and just let the AI talk to the daemon
openai consumer product people probably shitting themselves rn
none of us are as dumb as all of us, but llm-ishly
