To me, the most relevant aspect is the time it takes to open. I can't believe how slow the startup time in common linux distributions is by default, it's so annoying, by the time it opens I already forgot what I wanted to do. Alacritty has this cool feature where you only ever have to "open" a single terminal, whereas new windows can be created very efficiently with `alacritty msg create-window`, being forks of the initial window. It makes using my pc a lot more comfortable.

I initially interpreted this as "Artificial Intelligence _is_ [defined as] writing about as well as humans", which would imply that common LLMs are slowly approaching Artifical Intelligence. Though English is not my native language.

Being "fly" is slang for being cool. It has been officially chosen as German youth word of the year in 2016 [0].

Of course they get programmed, just not in the ordinary sense. Claude is trained using Anthropic's "constitution" [0] which importantly does not contain clear statements against consciousness/emotions. They even conclude these problems themself:

> Claude may have some functional version of emotions or feelings

> [..] questions about Claude’s moral status, welfare, and consciousness remain deeply uncertain.
