iPhone Duo Review: 10,000 Folds Later...

The announcement we've been waiting for... Anthropic is about to drop their personal agent Duet (love the name) A direct competitor to Dots, Grok Bot, Hark, and Muse All powered by what I believe to be the best model on earth right now Opus 5.5 This is the one I'm anticipating the most. Claude more than any other AI has felt the BEST to talk to It feels truly human and collaborative This has been what's dearly missing from this new class of agent harnesses. None of them feel truly HUMAN I have no doubt this will be the warmest, most fun personal agent to use I truly believe this personal agent harness race is the most important race of them all. More important than the model race People are giving their personal agents access to EVERYTHING Their emails, calendars, text messages, finances, EVERYTHING This is unbelievably valuable data people are now willing to give away to any company that makes helpful assistants The winner of this harness race will have access to incredibly valuable data it can then use to train even better models Anthropic is officially coming for the crown

The #3DPrinting community can be an incredibly welcoming place, filled with wonderful people. Until you, knowingly or unknowingly, cross the wrong one(s). That's when you learn what happens when the welcome has worn out. For the better part of this year, I thought something was going on, and last week I was informed my suspicions were correct: I am "being cancelled" by some folks in the community. I was told a couple of years ago this would happen as my follower count grew, because of the people I chose to associate with, and because I've been so outspoken about certain groups and brands. I could go into a laundry list of specifics, detailing the things that've happened to me. I've posted about some of them as they've occurred. I've always tried to be helpful, supportive, and encouraging. I've delighted in watching the personal and business successes, and commiserated with the setbacks, of those I associate with. I have bought and sent folks printers, parts, and filament when they didn't have the money to do it for themselves, even though I'm on a fixed income myself. None of that matters to these folks. If you don't like what they like, support who they support (with subs, bits, buying their merchandise, contributing to their Throne list, giving them free stuff, etc.), say nice things about the brands who sponsor them, they will actively work to exorcise you from what they see as "their" community. They will lie about you, tell your mutuals it's either you or them, get folks to block you, and destroy your reputation and standing within the community. You don't have to believe me, but I've seen it happen. Several Twitch streamers I used to watch no longer stream because of them. And it's happened to me in the last ten months. I've never mentioned any names, and I don't intend to now; it's counter-productive, and won't change any of their behavior. Some of you may already know who these people are, having felt their sting on your own. What I will say is I am undecided about my future here, and with the community, because this kind of behavior is petty, childish, and reprehensible. I deserve better. We all do.

He's right, you know.

Some people would say this is a better feature than flying 😂
