germans are indeed the stingiest cheap fucks on the planet
almost no german ever invites their friends for a meal. even friends of 20 years often haven’t paid for a single dinner for their close friends in their lifetime and when a german hosts a party, they provide the absolute necessity to not have an empty party but they always ask their guests to bring their own alcohol, which is mainly cheap beer
almost all germans virtue signal that they are morally above money and status while simultaneously trying to never even spend 10 euros more than their "fair share". also the main topic of conversation in germany is the price of things, how expensive grocery items are and how they would never spend money on luxury goods bc it is such a waste
for a people that emphasizes their moral superiority based on how little they care about money, germans spend disproportionally much time on talking about money
how moral can you be if you never invited your close friend to a single meal before
Germans are the stingiest cheap fucks on the planet.
They love kebabs and frozen pizzas for the cheap calories.
They love Aldi.
They love Temu.
Germany is by far the biggest Temu enjoyer in the EU.
Also, they're, like, the only developed country on the planet where Apple isn't the leading iPhone brand by market share.
(Except for Korea of course who are forced to use their shitty Galaxy phones)
So, if a German complaints about bad product quality, all it tells you is how much of a cheap fuck he is.
There were a few people who didn't touch OpenClaw and Hermes knowing this moment was coming. In the last few weeks I've met several people who bought into all that OpenClaw, Mac Mini nonsense, spent hundreds or even thousands and have nothing to show for it

I’ve left Anthropic after more than a year of working on Claude Code and seeing it scale larger than I ever imagined.
I have really loved working at Ant and believe deeply in the mission, and most of all, the idea of a race to the top.
The idea that if we work hard and responsibly, we can raise the bar and inspire others to great outcomes. And if we all push each other to be better, things can be radically good. I will carry the spirit of this with me forever.
My colleagues at Anthropic are the most talented, thoughtful, competent, and earnest people I have ever met. I am glad they are at the wheel and trust them deeply.
To the community on X, thank you for everything. You’ve made this the most fun (and sometimes stressful) job I’ve ever had.
For me, it is time for a bit of a break before diving into something new.
If you want more excellent Claude Code content, you should follow @addyosmani , @lydiahallie, @_catwu, @ClaudeDevs and of course @bcherny who started it all.

You can’t fight back with an AI that keeps apologizing. @abliteration_ai's Abliterated Large Flash doesn’t flinch.

Ozempic does nothing for forming good habits.
Gabriel Iglesias was on Ozempic for about five months. His description is the most honest one I’ve heard.
It worked almost too well. He’d look at food and feel nothing, not disgust, just “I’m good.”
The weight came off. But he watched his shoulders disappear with it. A strong guy, losing the strength he was proud of. Add the constant nausea, and he quit.
The moment he stopped, 20 pounds came back almost immediately.
And here’s the twist: years earlier, he says Ozempic offered him a million-dollar deal to be the face of the brand. He turned it down.
That’s the part nobody puts in the commercial. The drug turns off your hunger. It doesn’t protect your muscle, and it doesn’t fix whatever was driving the eating in the first place.

There’s a world of difference between user-authorized agents (Muse, Instinct, Grokbot, etc.) and true unauthorized/rogue agents that could constitute cyberattacks.
Most of the activity described in the Axios story appears to be the former: customers sharing credentials with agents so they can take actions on their behalf. This may violate bank terms requiring humans to log in themselves, but these are in no way cyberattacks.
The direction banks should go is to support user-directed agents. For example, Amex is an authorized connection in Muse, making it easy for users to grant, limit, and revoke access.
Read-only permission levels are a sensible interim step. Several banks already support or are moving toward them. Full write access (with user credentials) is a different risk category and should be approached carefully.
Frightening the public by blurring the line between user-authorized agentic behavior and cyberattacks is irresponsible.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

How would the banks know the exact instructions from users to make a claim that they're acting independently. Don't fall for this psyop. Banks don't want you to manage your own money well.
