BOZ. Meta's current CTO. Not too long ago.

I'm at loss for words at how shitty this paragraph reads. If anyone has any hope that Meta (and the rest) are even slightest concerned about the problem at hand (mental health of children), then they're very dim.

Meta literally goals on creating high-quality teen producers and consumers. Every single experiment, every single project is optimizing for that.

At least now its clear that behind the fancy marketing, its all "just business" for them and if they could, they'd sell the kids' soul to create "more shareholder value"

In my personal experience, the claude.md file heavily influences the LLM's responses. It makes judgement from any and all information you give it, and try to tailor the response to fit the stereotype it gave you. After deleting my claude.md file (ironically, on the advise of Boris), Claude Opus 5's language slop issues drastically went down.

And honestly, that's the most useless thing in Claude.md file because literally every paragraph has an "honestly" in it!

* Opus pays more attention. So anything in your Claude.md, your code's claude.md, in Claude Desktop, the customizations, even your name, will be used as context. If Claude knows you are a mechanical engineer and trying to write code, it will try to write code and explain it to you in some stereotypical way you did not expect.

* There are problems that require horizontal scaling and not vertical, even in intelligence. If I want to serve tea to 200 people at my home, I just need 10 decent adults, not Gordon Ramsey. So if your problems demand horizontal scaling, a dynamic workflow with Sonnet 5 medium with 200K context window will be more productive than Opus 5 max at 1M token context window.

within a week of closing a deal on my house i get a scam paper mail that almost looked legit asking me to pay $100 to get the title documents for my house. There aren't that many parties involved in the sale.. and its one of them (or all of them) broke the trust and bartered my information.

nearly all of them are uploading their contact list to meta and google.

THIS practice has to stop.

I'm not Apple's biggest fan either (I got super upset when they conveniently wiped out all information about the person comiting suicide in one of their conference rooms and TMZ caught the police line and the sherif said "there is a gun, next to a dead person, we can't say much at the moment" and that was it). But it is unlikely that Apple would depriortize its brand on a fake story.

2. Continuing work on Standly, a standing desk app for iOS and Mac (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/standly-standing-desk-timer/id...). I just grossed $1000 total on the app and get few customer feedbacks a week which is very exciting.

3. Almost finalized the first episode of my labor economics youtube channel, hand animated by a team of amazing artists. Looking to build it into a sustaining channel.

4. Building a server-driven UI framework at work with Go and OpenAPI on server side, swift and kotlin on client side.
