A new tranche of $500 in CDC Vouchers is now available. I hope it provides some help with your household expenses.

At this point every CEO should be asking what their strategy is to avoid model lock-in. If it isn’t clear what Anthropic is doing, it is: - build something amazing - decide who gets to use it after you prompt it if the prompt falls into areas they deem unacceptable by their sole standard To be clear this is completely above board and legal. It’s just an idiotic risk for corporate users to bear especially as the coding models become equivalent. The business continuity risk will become more obvious as companies accidentally trip over Anthropic’s ToS and have to decide if they will subsume their business viability to them by doubling down on Anthropic models or find open source (and, btw, much cheaper) alternatives where they are in control. As stated previously, get ready to be inundated with the term “control plane” which is the natural solution to this problem.

"The casino can't keep reselling and re-rolling those cards because the demand for keeping the cards is so high." "If you have a grail, you probably should hold onto it because the resellers, the scalpers and the gotcha companies, they are all hunting for your cardboard."

Visited a friend who just sold her 5-room HDB flat for $1.4M yesterday. Another friend selling her 4-room HDB for $1.3M. Both just upgraded — one into a $1.8M resale condo, the other a $2M new EC. Both complaining about the loans they took to get there. Their reasoning? "This is how you build wealth in Singapore." But here's what I actually saw. Two families in their mid-forties. Strapped to massive mortgages. Freedom quietly traded away for square footage. That's not wealth-building. That's a gilded invisible cage. To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Five years of exponential property prices will do that to you - recency bias at play.
