I normally have only one session going at once though.

> Claude Opus 4.8 is available everywhere today. Pricing for regular usage is unchanged from Opus 4.7: $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens. Pricing for fast mode is $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens.

Where do you see the 2x cost?

This one change will probably solve 80% of the problems you have noticed.

*load-bearing* just started popping up like crazy with opus 4.7.

Although Claude will never hold a candle to Codex’s jargon, at least in my experience.

Naive credentialism is obviously bad, but reputation does matter.

Maybe I’ll try again in a few years.

Which reminds me, I need to figure out how to turn that off.

But I think the author was commenting on how it felt like a compulsive urge stemming from fear and self-doubt.

It’s a good insight about their frame of mind, and I applaud them for resisting the urge.

You need to do things the hard way by yourself in order to learn.

Reflexively copy + pasting into chatgpt is a good way to become completely dependent on the tool and have your skills atrophy.

It reminds me of people who can hardly drive anywhere without GPS, even if they’ve been living in the same place for years.

The Artemis gif you are referring to only shows the satellites because the earth is eclipsing the the sun and they did a long exposure.

Those satellites showing up in the gif are briefly catching the sun at the perfect angle.

Sites and apps don’t need your actual national ID, just to know that you have one. I think it could be possible to have 3rd party verification services that don’t know where the verification request is coming from, thus preserving privacy on both sides.

2018 called and they want their red pill back.

When’s your book coming out? I’m dying to learn more about “the way it is”.

P.S. I say this with full sincerity: If you are open to advice, try reading “Models: Attract Women Through Honest”. It will expand your mind.

It was recommended to me by a friend who managed to un-redpill himself.

The baseline level of trust in an online interaction has been eroded significantly by LLMs.

The question is, how can we reverse this trend and increase trust?

I have a sneaking suspicion that it would help enormously if the stock prices of the largest companies in the world were not tied to how effective they are at hijacking as much of humanity’s time and attention as possible.

Maybe the fediverse can (eventually) help? It’s been a while since I looked at it.

Let’s empower people to effectively have more control over the content they interact with.

Social dynamics can make this difficult. We all want to be in the loop. The recent striking successes of the movement to ban phones in schools gives me hope.

It’s a negative externality.

We can argue about the magnitude and the details, but the basic fact remains.

There are ways of dealing with negative externalities. Some work better than others. The details do matter a lot. And we definitely need better ways of tackling problems like this, especially when the cost is less immediate. The more diffuse, temporally removed, downstream, hidden, or controversial it is, the harder it is to get people to take the problem seriously. Let alone actually do anything about it.

We can take on these challenges. Or we can largely ignore them / throw our hands in the air, and watch the consequences unfold.

As much as we are able to, I’d like to try the former. Computing can still move forward and innovate at a rapid rate.

On heavy weeks I probably am using it consistently for at least 6+ hours a day.

Although, I’m pretty rigorous about always keeping my sessions under 200-250k tokens.

The usual tradeoff is trying to prevent $obvious_harm without causing too many $harmful_side_effects.

What are the harmful side effects of preventing nudification attacks?
