This is exactly where my brain went while reading the post. Just out of curiosity, where do you think we are on the speedrun? Have we passed the Body vs Soul view already? Do you think that as we move through history, religion will become more predominate in thought patterns or was that intrinsically human and just a sign of the times? How do we create an end product more Bernard Williams then Paul de Lagarde? All places my brain jumped to.

I think it depends on your friends, but that feels super cynical. Perspective is everything.

So I guess the question would be, "What makes this acceptable Tech". I don't know how you get there without offering some type of "Search" like choice for open models. We all know how that turned out.

Maybe Mozilla can save itself by getting paid to serve Google's model as default rather than another providers. Would replace the revenue stream they lost.

So now all I really want to see is your setup script...you go first.

Agree. I just don't think it's realistic to expect the technology to not become a tool for commercialism. It plays out the same way every time: technology arrives, mass adoption with idealist intentions, somebody has to pay the mortgage, delight disappears.

Woz has been saying this for decades, we went from buying a computer and owning it to being trapped inside someone else's platform. MCP being open was a good sign but I'm watching how tightly Routines gets coupled to their stack.

Anyway to petition Washington State to RELEASE the Cosmic Crisps?

Exactly, I actually starred this in late March and hadn't made my way back to it yet. Glad somebody posted, looks very interesting.

Removed the island. Now it's just a surgeon, a lottery winner, and a man carrying 40 knives all trying to get through TSA.

Removed the zombies. Just a guy in a sheriff's hat losing every group vote on where to camp next.

Removed the mother. Enjoying 9 seasons of a man cornering his teenagers on a couch, describing every woman he's ever dated.

Would make economic sense for a ton more of "Choose your own Adventure" content

I can imagine watching Bandersnatch and getting rid of the game developer in frame 1. The remaining 90 minutes, his dad having a quiet, stress-free Tuesday.

jasonsaayman and voxpelli had useful write ups from the "head on a swivel" perspective of what to watch out for. Jason mentioned "the meeting said something on my system was out of date." they were using Microsoft meeting and that's how they got RCE. Would love more color on that.

This, but I think everybody that's awake knows this. I still not a fan of this project regardless, it's polishing a turd.

Seems crazy to me people aren't already including rules to prevent useless language in their system/project lvl CLAUDE.md.

As far as redundancy...it's quite useful according to recent research. Pulled from Gemini 3.1 "two main paradigms: generating redundant reasoning paths (self-consistency) and aggregating outputs from redundant models (ensembling)." Both have fresh papers written about their benefits.

The feed actually surfaced people working on open source projects adjacent to mine, that turned into real collaboration and shaped technical decisions I wouldn't have arrived at alone. It's not all good content, but it's a useful signal source for things outside your usual field of view.
