Is it just me or has Sonnet gotten dumber in the past few days since Claude released Fable?

Oh god, the ChatGPT goblins are back… just asked for it to format my shopping list and this is the signoff: ”Current mission status: maximum snack goblin, minimum effort. 🍿✨”

Ruby on Rails was and is a huge inspiration for Laravel. Pumped to finally be on stage with @dhh at a Laravel event. 🎉
We are honored to announce David Heinemeier Hansson aka @dhh 🇩🇰, creator of Ruby on Rails, on stage at Laravel Live Denmark 2026. A Dane whose framework inspired a generation of developers comes home to Copenhagen this August. Different framework, same craft.

Scary sign of the times: When I grew up, Sweden had tons of campaigns for source criticism = don't believe everything you see on the internet. Just walked past a billboard where the city had stricken over "criticism" and replaced it with "trust".

We've literally gone from the state telling us not to believe everything we see on the internet, to the state telling us that there are actually true things on the internet, and that not everything is fake.

I can't put into words how amazing the last few days were!
I'm headed home now with a full heart and just so thankful for this great community. This was my first @LaraconEU, but it won't be my last. Now I'm even more excited for Laracon US in Boston 🫶

Why we have to regulate AI (sorry for paylocked article but it should be visible for the first few people using the link, and it's very well worth the read)

The new #Gemini music generation seems really cool! High quality, may use it for some background music for videos assuming it has good licensing deals and once it makes longer songs. Cool visualizer too! #GeminiMusic

I just learned something amazing. #Google has a bunch of .new domains that takes you just where you want to go. Going to be using these a lot!

We need a universal playlist spec. Seamless (and accurate transfer) between Spotify and YouTube Music and Apple Music, and something AI could integrate with, for example asking ChatGPT to create a playlist based on my mood, and any service can just read it.

Need recs for a good AI autocomplete for IDEs. VS Code or PhpStorm, to supplement Claude Code. Copilot is fine but slow and not too smart. Cursor Tab is top tier but 20 bucks/month for just autocomplete feels steep. Any alternatives?

Is it just me that feels like ChatGPT lost 80% of it's capacity this week? Keep getting issues even in short threads where it is incapable of keeping two things in mind at the same time. It's like it only considers the very last message I sent.

Great #Laravel meetup in Copenhagen tonight. Also had to end it with a quick visit to Tivoli that had this amazing light show. Almost as cool as MCP servers! Thanks to the great speakers @Isak_Berglind and @MathiasHansen!
