It’s always interesting to me the sentiment here surrounding AI risk. As if it’s all a joke, or just a way to stifle competition. I think it’s become more apparent that this technology is dangerous and maybe catastrophically so. Getting your queries routed to a worse model sucks.. but bio hazards are real. It’s hard to patch biology, vaccines take time. Let alone the many other reasons for P(doom).. like the fact that our current systems don’t seem very aligned to me and we are rapidly handing off our thinking to them.

Is there anything out there comparable to my original Kindle Oasis? Mine has lived in airplane mode its whole life and I’m afraid for when it finally dies

The server editions are junk too, lol.

I never got into Rogue, though I did love Nethack. If you’re into these actual rogue-likes, I picked up Caves of Qud recently, highly recommend.

Fun thought exercise: why would this be a terrible idea?

I seriously don’t understand the naysayers around here. Have they just not used anything past gpt4? You can’t just outsource all of your thinking to them, but they’re obviously useful.

I never even thought of that use case! What kind of stuff do you do on a computer while doing procedures? Like reference material? Tracking what you’ve done?

Kimi K3 is really good, but it’s obviously worse than Fable, usually worse than Opus, in my experience.

I spent so so much time playing SpaceChem. My favorite game of all time.

hosel — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 18:51:58 +0000

That was a fun read. It’s interesting to me that my favorite writers loved cocaine/amphetamines while my favorite musicians were junkies.

If you’ve ever dabbled in the arts it is extremely easy to be tempted down that path. Alcohol especially, considering its ubiquity.. but I agree with the article “… booze is a malicious, treacherous muse.”

Is there any evidence that they nerf models? Anthropic is set to mark a profit Q2 2026 (which is actually not ideal), but there is profit.
