This time travel scenario is just Anthropic being a crazy Claude cult right? Right??
Both Fable and Astra give a high end probability of 1% chance it has already happened.

Youtube is dead. Video streaming sites are the worst way to watch videos now and if they don't adapt, it's only a matter of time before they are just archives.
I didn't even intend for this, I just told Opus "make it awesomer"

Improved landing page for my SVG Forest benchmark (purely subjective): ealdent.github.io/the-grove/…
Basic idea is to create an endless navigable world rendered purely in SVG. Current winner is Argon on technical mastery, followed by Opus 5.5 (which wins on soul), and then Astra.
Pretty sure the only people who have "offloaded all their thinking to LLMs" are the researchers who have offloaded all their thinking to LLMs
Here we have a manifesto from the Association for Human Weaving, ca. 1812.
Are all your numbers ethically researched?

First they came for the software engineers and I said nothing for I was not a software engineer.
Then they came for the mathematicians and I said nothing for I was not a mathematician.
Then they came for the doctors and I said "make sure you get all the doctors"

imagine having decades of engineering experience...
and this is what it all comes to now
Pangea Drift simulation in ASCII art. I started off with space bunny alpha and it did a pretty good job, but I had to clean it up with astra and fable to get the full zoom effect I was going for.

Not sure what's the worst part of the Bill Gates interview.
1) Listening to Gates basically arguing for regulatory capture and government monitoring of open weights models posing any sort of bio threat
or
2) hearing him pronounce Demis Hassabis as DEE-mus uh-SEE-bus
Sonnet 5.5 with a unique twist on my tower defense benchmark: ealdent.github.io/the-grove/…
Took 3 hours to complete but barely scratched my usage cap. Compare against other models: ealdent.github.io/the-grove/…
I told Opus 5.5 to create a version based on something it knows about me and the style it thinks I would like and so it used my corgi and my current cassette futuristic obsession. Less than 1% of my weekly limit consumed in the making of this.

I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.
People who worry about the permanent underclass are shortsighted. We will have everything we ever dreamed of and all class systems will be abolished. When we are in zoos, the only class will be who the AIs like more. This is why I say please to Alexa
