after losing all my money I have now realized the money never mattered in the first place what brings true joy is staring at aggr for 16 hours a day while being in a perpetual state of heightened cortisol

basically: anthropic sneakily turned down how hard claude thinks before editing code, changed the default from "high" to "medium" effort, and hid the reasoning from session logs. all without telling users. an amd director had 7k sessions of telemetry to prove the degradation was real and measurable (not just vibes). anthropic admitted to the changes. there's a workaround (use "/effort max"). the uncomfortable part is most users had no data to notice it happened at all.
AMD Senior AI Director confirms Claude has been nerfed. She analyzed Claude's session logs from Janurary to March: > median thinking dropped from ~2,200 to ~600 chars > API requests went up 80x from Feb to Mar. less thinking and failed attempts meaning more retries, burning more tokens, and spending more on tokens > reads-per-edit dropped from 6.6x β†’ 2.0x. model stops researching code before touching it. > model tried to bail out or ask "should i continue" 173 times in 17 days (0 times before March 8). > self-contradiction in reasoning ("oh wait, actually...") tripled. > conventions like CLAUDE.md get ignored because there's less thinking budget to cross-check edits > 5pm and 7pm PST are the worst hours, late night is significantly better. this means the thinking allocation is most likely GPU-load-sensitive.

You cannot go anyhwere in the US anymore without feeling taking advantage of. Every restaurant, every lease agreement, every purchase. Everything is so blatantly predatory. Like they don't even care to be subtle about the fact that they're operating in bad faith. And we're all just submissive to it

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

polymarket is now massively more ai agent-friendly we've built a full suite of agentic interactions - cli, mcp, and agent skills claude just one-shotted an entire bloomberg-style terminal for polymarket - inside a terminal:

Today we're introducing TRIBE v2 (Trimodal Brain Encoder), a foundation model trained to predict how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound. Building on our Algonauts 2025 award-winning architecture, TRIBE v2 draws on 500 hours of fMRI recordings from 700 people to create a digital twin of neural activity and enable zero-shot predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks. Try the demo and learn more here: go.meta.me/tribe2

With the Reddit Face ID verification announcement this is worth rewatching. Everything in this video has, will, and is coming true.

Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

If FTX had kept its ~8% stake in Anthropic, it would be worth approximately $28 billion at the $350B pre-money valuation (or equivalently post-money at $380B). The stake was sold in 2024 for $1.3B.

Cursor just shipped 1,000 commits per hour and most people scrolled past the number. Break that down. Hundreds of agents running simultaneously on a single codebase. Each agent averaging a meaningful code change every 12-20 minutes, sustained for a full week. That’s the equivalent output of a 100 person engineering org running 24/7 with zero standups, zero Slack threads, zero PTO. They built a web browser from scratch with these agents. 3M lines of code. A Windows 7 emulator. An Excel clone. They migrated their own production codebase from Solid to React in three weeks, 266K/-193K edits, already passing CI. The coordination architecture tells you where software management is heading. Self-organizing agents failed. Peer-to-peer status sharing created deadlocks. What actually worked was a strict hierarchy of planners, workers, and judges. AI agents need the same management structure as humans, just running at 100x the clock speed. Cursor has $1B in ARR and a $29B valuation. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are all building competing coding agents. GitHub Copilot is generating $300M annually. The total AI coding market is projected at $30B by 2032, but a single Cursor experiment just produced more code in one week than most startups write in a year. The 2032 projections are going to look quaint. When the cost of producing code approaches zero, the bottleneck shifts entirely to taste, architecture decisions, and knowing what to build. Every PM reading this should understand: the skill that matters just changed.
We've been working on very long-running coding agents. In a recent week-long run, our system peaked at over 1,000 commits per hour across hundreds of agents. We're sharing our findings and an early research preview inside Cursor.
