It explains why yesterday it refused to create a clone of a game that I was asking for.

Wordle is just a copy of Lingo.
As is posting insinuations.

Too bad the OpenClaw json is malformed.

No, you said "openly stated desire to eliminate any reason to live for hundreds of millions of people".

What you're now saying is that it's a by-product of what they do. What you said earlier was that it was their goal.

Which is it?

How is that remotely the AI companies openly stated desire?

Would you still hold the same position when AI inevitably reaches human intelligence?

If yes: why? If no: why?

BlueSky is so much more toxic than Twitter/X ever was. And I say that as a left-leaning centrist.

You kids and your iPods. ;-)

Sorry, but teenage me, growing up late 90s, wildly disagrees with this statement.

It's always been addictive and destructive. I was staying up past 3am to talk to my American friends, knowing I'd have to get up at 7am to get to school.

Painting the past with such a rose brush does not help anyone.

And "je ne sais quoi" perfectly describes that. Quod erat demonstrandum

Why would it ask to see the image if it was already told it cannot see the image?
Re:Claude Opus 5 on Saturday July 25, 2026 @11:09AM (#49048199)
I don't see why? If they give you a math test and tell you you cannot use a calculator, should you just say "please can I use a calculator" and quit?

On Max it is just included in your subscription.
Can you tell me the difference between that and doing code review for a task performed by a non-senior?
Re:Microsoft Comic Chat is now open source on Thursday July 16, 2026 @04:58PM (#48940148)
Comic Chat had its own IRC servers ran by Microsoft. You weren't supposed to use it on "regular" servers.
Re:Claude Code May–July 2026 weekly limits promotion on Sunday July 12, 2026 @02:31PM (#48883333)
I have assumed from the get-go that they would just keep extending it week by week.
In that case you'd be better off waiting 6 to 12 months before buying into SPCX.
Re:Railway GCP Account Suspension Incident Report on Wednesday May 20, 2026 @02:26PM (#48211928)
I've been with DO since checks mailbox 2014. Honestly never experienced an unannounced outage.
I can only speak for my countries, but almost all payment terminals now have the option to scan a QR code with your mobile banking app to pay using Wero.
If they haven't been redirected to their bank, verifying with their mobile banking app using a QR code will not work.
That's why you can mark any WiFi connection as "metered" in Windows.
Surely it will wait when the connection is marked as metered.
Re:Belgium stops decommissioning nuclear power plants on Thursday April 30, 2026 @12:53PM (#47965228)
That is about production. The story that you don't get from these graphs is that Belgium is highly dependent on imported energy because the production is just too low.
Re:Belgium stops decommissioning nuclear power plants on Thursday April 30, 2026 @12:50PM (#47965192)
Strictly: Engie was forced by a previous Belgian government to decommision the nuclear power plants.
Re:I Ported Mac OS X to the Nintendo Wii on Wednesday April 08, 2026 @12:38PM (#47692616)
If it's not working on Chrome nor Firefox, it's safe to say it's incompatible with almost all browsers.
Already banned in several European countries, mostly because of the betting on political events.

In his defense, he built the entire language :-)

The guy built the "shitty web app" (that's actually pretty cool, not shitty) from scratch.
