Anyone in Europe or UK should be quaking in their boots at this news. For a long time the American administration has had a kill switch on most of our defence tech, this is an early warning signal that as AI adoption spreads, America will have a kill switch on our economy as well. It’s time to wake up.

I also can't stand the privacy violation of CSS. But

> Child safety looks like well-funded education, robust social services, and meaningful guardrails on the very AI technologies and platforms the current government is eagerly courting.

is such a weak, unrealistic, slow and idealistic solution to the real suffering of children. I was hoping this thread might offer up some better alternatives.

All the criticism the UK and European countries get from American tech billionaires for censorship…then…this. No one anywhere could argue this post is some sort of hate speech to even mildly cover their arses.

> It is the knowledge they carry. How the business actually operates. Where the edge cases live. Why certain decisions get made the way they do. What customers really mean when they complain about a specific issue. The context that never makes it into a process document because it does not need to — because the right person already knows.

I get this is about the immediate firing of people and losing knowledge quickly but there’s no reason this this knowledge can’t be captured actively and passively over the next year or so now there’s a massive incentive to do so. In fact using AI to capture this knowledge is a huge opportunity tons of startups are working on.

And because people writing anything worth reading are using the process of writing to form a proper argument and develop their ideas. It’s just not possible to do that by delegating even a small chunk of the work to AI.

Taking time to figure out if you’re the right fit for the company and the company is the right fit for you is a very good thing. For both parties! Rushed hiring processes increase the chances of you being fired for not being the right fit. Short hiring processes are a massive red flag for me.

Text to code is clearly valuable but the code to text capability of LLMs is seriously underrated IMO. I would argue orgs should prioritise giving PMs Claude Code licenses over devs. So much efficiency unlock without the worry about whether vibe code can be shipped to prod.

Don’t know about anyone else, but I find OpenAI irrelevant now. I bought an anthropic pro account to get Claude code and now just use Anthropic for everything. I can’t see anything drawing me back to OpenAI ecosystem. What am I missing?

rimeice — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 20:38:36 +0000

Very good points, but, I think this blog is pretty focussed on the developer use case for LLMs. It makes a lot more sense in chat style interfaces for connecting to non-dev tools or services with non technical users, if anything just from a UX perspective.

Yeh I think there’s an issue with being off the platform for a long time. Almost exactly same thing happened to me after not logging in for about 10 years. The algorithm just doesn’t know what to do with you. But then I almost immediately go banned for breaching community guidelines after doing nothing but scrolling. So from my experience I can confirm, it’s a total bin fire.

I still don’t really get this argument/excuse for why it’s acceptable that LLMs hallucinate. These tools are meant to support us, but we end up with two parties who are, as you say, prone to “hallucination” and it becomes a situation of the blind leading the blind. Ideally in these scenarios there’s at least one party with a definitive or deterministic view so the other party (i.e. us) at least has some trust in the information they’re receiving and any decisions they make off the back of it.
