[BUG] **EXTREME DANGER**: AskUserQuestion: "No response after 60s — continued without an answer" · Issue #73125 · anthropics/claude-code github.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • In Claude Code 2.1.198, AskUserQuestion auto-returned a 'No response after 60s' message and told Claude to proceed on its own judgment.
  • The behavior was undocumented, missing from the changelog, and a regression from 2.1.196, which worked correctly per the report.
  • Maintainer ThariqS said a release will expose the setting under /config with the timeout configurable and defaulting to off.

I use anecdotal stories about AlphaFold’s impact, alongside astronomy after the printing press, as an example of how new tech can change the day-to-day of research. In the wake of AF’s shutdown, I did a mini lit review: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaFold#Reception_and_ado…

Very weird to spend last night at a game jam with a lot of fun expression of human creativity —mostly from people who (without LLMs) would have had that creativity trapped in their heads — and wake up to a respected professional On Here lamenting that LLMs mean the end of creativity in software.

Spicy take: if your law firm has picked A Single AI Tool, and you can’t articulate why it was selected over other alternatives, you’re in violation of the Bar’s ethical requirement to understand the technology you use.
