Someday, the US will be just a bubble where no other country gives their data to. We continue this decent into fascism to the point that nobody likes us.. or values us. Is this their idea of Utopia?

Google shot it's shot with that alternative history artwork generation fiasco. Don't know why anyone would be too hot for them now. Dime a dozen at this point.

Nothing spectacular about it. Except for the obvious degradation of our planet, there isnt anything special about it. Its just our home.

Once Iran ramps up, its going to be a free-for-all against all US data infrastructure. Iran has friends in low places so they don't have to do all of the dirty work themselves. This should be a wake-up call.

Abacus Agentic Behavior

Fairburn — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 23:32:32 +0000

Deep agent is wonderful. It has helped our company immensely in numerous ways. The flow was always great.. helpful.

Now, however, enshittification by way of "useful" developmental changes have become a pain in the ass.

Working with their Deep Agent has recently become onerous.

Any time it "thinks" you are deviating from the agentic flow, it pops up an intrusive modal stating:

"Do you want to continue? This query does not seem to be related to previous turn queries. Are you sure you want to continue in the current conversation?

For optimal and cost-effective performance we recommend starting a new conversation with this prompt."

This breaks the flow considerably when I have to take myself out of my moment to address your apparent lack of insight that not everything in a flow is going to be related to the session. Stop trying to guide us. We know where the fuck we are going.

Stop trying to babysit us. There are other LLM services out there.

Don't make us choose.

Religion = blind loyalty (to those in power of said religion)

It's one of the oldest tools we have to control society. And it gets abused. All. Of. The. Time.
