Yet my banking app (here in Singapore) doesn't let me block any prior authorizations. It feels like the payment networks don't want to make it too easy to cancel periodic payments? Which isn't surprising, of course, but it feels like something I'd change banks for.

"write a summary handoff md in ./planning for a fresh convo"

and it's generally good enough), but maybe a skill like you've done would save some typing, hmm

My ./planning directory is getting pretty big, though!

So, logically, selling to PEs/operators who are known to do this is basically the owners selling out and taking the cash. The consequences are clear to anyone who's been watching.

Maybe this will change in the future if AI-run companies emerge, get backing, and outcompete existing players.

Then you could open voting up to a community for a weekly mechanics-change vote (similar to that recent repo where public voting decided what the AI would do next), and AI will implement it with whatever changes it sees fit.

Honestly, without some dedicated human guidance and taste, it would probably be more of a novelty that eventually lost its shine.

Have warned my friends about this already.

5.4's choice of terms and phrasing is very precise and unambiguous to me, whereas 5.3-Codex often uses jargon and less precise phrases that I have to ask further about or demand fuller explanations for via AGENTS.md.

It might be my AGENTS.md requiring clearer, simpler language, but at least 5.4's doing a good job of following the guidelines. 5.3-Codex wasn't so great at simple, clear writing.

I definitely empathize with "his preference for using an analytic, highly logical problem-solving strategy" (I'm not a genius ofc). It's often more immediately clear for me than visual/spatial manipulation.

Yeah, actual adoption will require getting the actual people to come onboard who want to entertain/influence others, plus the viewers (two-sided market problem). When weighing that against network effects of the big players, the chances look a little slim.

Probably need another more low-effort or attractive angle to grow the Fediverse, tbh.

Why fill my personal feed with stuff I normally get on dedicated discussion/news sites? (Rhetorical; it's obvious why.)

They still call it SNS (social networking service) in Japan. We need to keep moving to a new iteration of this - hopefully one that funnels less money and influence to a small group of players. (I'm working on my own ideas for this.)

Ultimately it's up to legislation to formalize rules, ideally based on principles of fairness. Is it fair in non-legalistic sense for all old books to be trainable-on, but not LLM outputs?

Ah, so Skynet or similar.

Yup, we struggle with this. Seems to have to do with needing to pay for seats in order to have file-sharing allowed (but you can still paste Sharepoint/Onedrive links). Can't share files if there's even a single external person in the chat/channel. Forced us to buy another seat subscription. It's great!
