Also... One of the only industries/products where unusable token burn is neither refunded let alone even acknowledged. I wonder how many millions of dollars of inference have been stolen during these outages? First you lose the work in flight, then you lose the time, and finally you lose the token burn for a second time. What a fantastic time to not have any regulations if you're rich and greedy!
I'd argue that it's not even corporations anymore. It's very clear who is making these calls as the players involved (Musk, Zuckerberg, Altman, Dario, Thiel, Karp, Luckey, Langley, Nadella, Bezos, Pichai, Tann, etc) want nothing more than to be in the limelight and "preach" to the masses that they know best. They're more brazen year over year as they gain confidence in their unchecked power and continued accrual of wealth. The more money the more disconnected from reality and the stronger assumptions they build. And they have zero compassion. All of these people are dangerous to humanity individually, but when you start to realize how many have emerged and have no filter or checked powers publicly that becomes a truly terrifying thing.
I've recently started reading "End Times Fascism" [0] and it truly encompasses where we are at, how we got here and the bleak future we may be in for if we don't get in front of this now. But this book definitely highlights a lot of what some of the tech community has been seeing and hand waving about for years. The worn out trope that we should hold corporations accountable doesn't work. We should hold the people at the top accountable like other nations do because if they want the limelight then they should bear the responsibility that comes with abuses. The US is becoming a caste system by design. National surveillance, erosion of access to resources for personal compute, bought and paid for politicians and laws that don't apply to the wealthy.
It's actually nothing like that, and is surely not how it's marketed or sold. I guess you're OK paying a monthly fee for Internet and having the access be unavailable for random parts of your working day because you want to anthropomorphize it? The defense with which people will go to bat for these shitty companies is wild.
...where are thees rumors coming from? I keep seeing posts like this on HN and Reddit, which yes confirms there are rumors, but I can't tell if they were pulled out of thin air or not.
I follow Leo for the rumors, he has been pretty accurate but again they are rumors so nothing is guaranteed. I don't know his sources.

Everyone at Anthropic is interviewing a new Claude model which they are about to hire and forgot to monitor their old model and thus it goes down.
If outages like this happened on every major deploy happened at any other company; this would be viewed as unacceptable, especially if it was something like Google Search going down on every update.
I'm was closing a day of work and it stopped in the middle of a long plan, I started codex and tell it: "I was in the middle of work with Claude could you read the plan and the session "x" in ~/.claude and continue the work" it just completed everything :D
`claude --resume` will list your sessions, you can copy the title. Codex may just list and grep the sessions files in ~/.claude and filter the one with the name.
I also have the habit of naming my sessions with `/rename`
I’m working on a project that makes switching between coding harnesses essentially unnoticeable. It’s particularly useful when I run out of credits on any given day
The entire platform is skill driven, and based on the premise that state is your local file system. That makes switching harnesses so easy
It’s all open source and has plenty of other features, including inter agent communication, telegram client and much more in the pipeline
I think having a codebase that can use any harness is the optimal setup. I often switch between harnesses and models all the time at work. We have our state/spec stored in git, so we can pack it up on friday and start fresh on monday. Or more commonly, using gemini/opus to create rich specifications and using Luna to implement them. Then switching again for reviews etc.
Not sure what the problem with switching is? When I run out of my kimi session, I just switch model and tell deepseek to continue. Yes I eat the initial cache miss but that's it, no fancy harness required.
No project needed man. There's also a whole ycombinator company for the same thing, skillsync, also useless. These things are either out of the box or they are 2 prompts away.
I don’t understand your point or why people are upvoting this. I’ve done this between many different models. Did you just discover that a frontier model can read context? I genuinely don’t get your point.
I’ve subscribed to chatgpt at 50% off last week and I’m using claude less and less. Not only replies are faster but 20$ plan gives you access to astra.
Not sure how can claude even compete at this point unless openAI seriously downgrade the models to save money.
I am sure this is not related, but I finally learned how to make my CPU the bottleneck running many worktrees. For my setup, the unlock was creating an e2e lockfile system, and having the sessions pass notes back and forth about it using SendMessage.
I was late to this game, but I wonder how many other people have started to figure this type of thing out lately, and are just saturating their usage.
Posted this in the xiaomi thread, but are folks working in biology / cybersecurity seeing more limits in what Opus (not Fable) is allowing? This has happened quite suddenly for me and I’m stuck in the middle of a project that would have otherwise called for use of Claude.
I’ll be trying these models out and may end up switching my subscriptions if this craziness continues
i was talking to opus the other night about the polio vaccine related stuff (i had been arguing with one of those people who claims the polio vaccine didn't work so i figured i'd use it as an excuse to brush up on some bio/history). i asked it to explain how polio virus was isolated pre PCR and claude hard killed my session citing security reasons (it was talking about stool samples ffs LOL)
Hell i’m working on ai for board games as a hobby (tfmbot.com) and one of the cards is ‘microbes’. Sent straight back to 4.8 for having that in my code.
I wonder if I'm being saved by remote working since I think I have three days in the 365 days, and I've also managed to go years without a single sick day.
I hope you are still taking your maximum possible* number of sick days regardless.
*if you live in a real country, which gives all workers unlimited paid sick leave, I am defining "max possible" here as "as many as you can reasonably take without your boss doing something about it"
It's hard to overstate how much computers improved with each generation back then. Going from, say, an IBM XT or AT to an Amiga has no modern parallel. It was mind-blowing, exhausting, and exhilarating all at once.
OpenClaw isn't the target anymore, Hermes is. It may have been the first, in the same sense that new social networks were often referred to as Facebook-clones, not Myspace (or Friendster) clones.

Proof that vibe coded or not, people pay someone else mostly for liability.

and keep workin'

gpt-6-sol and Aeon (personal agent) on Thursday. Already preceded by a huge week with step, mimo, grok, and jev releases.
Relentless cycle.
In 1999 they even made a famous documentary about people in trench coats fighting AI

Meanwhile, Meta's MUSE seems to be gaining traction in the US, while those of us in the EU are once again left watching from the sidelines.
