We can all say it... Claude 20x is dead. The previous "feel unlimited usage" doesn't exist anymore. Usage increases quickly and scales really fast... People who discover Claude Code now: you missed a time that will never come back, I think.

Can we just take a second to really take this in? How on earth has it come to this? Where a man can performatively ‘admit’ to sex with a child on an international platform but then couch it as some form of reflection or responsible accountability exercise - whilst deliberately leaning on our terrible, useless, outdated sexual offences act and age of consent? This man was 30 years old, and at the height of his fame - when he made an active choice to have sex with a child. I would use much stronger language here but he’s deliberately leaning on our consent laws, that a 16 year old child can technically consent to sex - meaning that he could technically have ‘consensual sex’ with a school age child. His admission and his disgusting performative ‘progressive’ ‘reflection’ that he is ‘exploitative’ makes my effin skin crawl. If this is not a predator in full swing, I do not know what is. This man is admitting to sex with children and no one is going to do a thing about it. Absolutely atrocious. Our laws need urgently updating to ensure no adult can ever have technically consensual sex with a child. No adult should ever want that; and no child should ever be exposed to it. End.

I am confident that the mind is computable; consciousness is an exquisite consequence of the laws of physics. I am also confident that contemporary systems such as @claudeai are without a doubt not only not conscious but are in fact architecturally incapable of consciousness. And furthermore, we are not even close to closing that gap.
I think you'd need to have high confidence in information based theories of consciousness to think that settled the matter, or that introspection requires phenomenal consciousness. I'm not confident in either. Also, to be clear, several people who aren't me work on model welfare.

Don't take people's comments about you too seriously. People see reality through their fears, struggles, and beliefs. And their reality doesn't always match yours. When they believe you can't do it, it doesn't mean you can't... It just means they don't think they can.

Self-guaranteeing promises Companies break promises all the time. A self-guaranteeing promise does not require you to trust anyone. You can verify a self-guaranteeing promise yourself. File over app is a self-guaranteeing promise. If files are in your control, in an open format, you can use those files in another app at any time. Not an export. The exact same files. It’s good practice to test this with any self-proclaimed file-over-app app you use. Terms and policies are not self-guaranteeing. A company may promise the privacy of your data, but those policies can change at any time. Changes can retroactively affect data you have spent years putting into the tool. A self-guaranteeing promise about privacy gives you proof that the tool cannot access your data in the first place. Examples: Google, Zoom, Dropbox, Tumblr, Slack, Adobe, Figma (see links). Encoding values into a governance structure is not self-guaranteeing. Given enough motivation, the corporate structure can be reversed. The structure is not in your hands. Example: OpenAI. Open source alone is not self-guaranteeing. Even open source apps can rely on data that is stuck in databases or in proprietary formats that are difficult to switch away from. Open source is not a reliable safeguard against the biases of venture capital. Examples: Omnivore, Skiff. When you choose to use a tool, the future of that tool is always ambiguous. On a long enough timeline the substrate changes. Your needs change, the underlying operating system changes, the company goes out of business or gets acquired, better options come along. It is possible to accept the ambiguousness of a tool's future if you choose tools that make self-guaranteeing promises.

If you've ever wondered. This is what a real satanic mass looks like.
All the darkness going on right now begins to make perfect sense when you realize THIS PERSON is the official Spiritual Advisor for President of the United States, who also sits on high level governmental commissions. 🤯

PROMPT // Build me a daily "Morning Edition" magazine. Every morning, fetch the Hacker News front page and curate the top 10 stories that fit MY taste — skip [TYPE THINGS YOU DON'T WANT]; lean into AI tools, creative software, dev tools, privacy, weird science, and anything actionable. Flag any story that directly applies to me. Render it as a single self-contained HTML file styled like an editorial magazine: huge display typography (Fraunces Inter via Google Fonts), and give each of the 10 stories its own distinct spread — different background colors, layout, and numeral treatment (hero, dark/midnight, rose-alert-stamp, terminal, academic drop-cap, big-stat finish, etc.). No small fonts anywhere. Save it to a magazines/ folder, named YYYY-MM-DD.html. Schedule this to run daily at 7am. (Optional) Publish each issue to GitHub Pages so I get a real shareable URL, and Telegram-bot me the link every morning when it's ready.

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

The Catholic Church has always taught that Christ fulfills the Old Testament. Not the other way around. Attacking the Pope with OT verses isn't theology. It's politics wearing a Bible costume.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

MAGA is confused. MAGA pretends to be religious group but they actually worship an orange god when when the head of their church, the Pope, says something against their False God, it confuses them and they end up attacking him. Shows you who they really worship.
