Anthropic has been, relatively speaking, the most responsible of the frontier labs since its founding. There has never been a point at which OpenAI took a more measured and reasonable approach while Anthropic proceeded dangerously.

These are relative terms, but you'd have to not be paying attention to find this plausible.

I guess if you just prefer wearing horse blinders?

I built KeePass Tusk back in 2018, for example. This would kill the project and abandon 30K users without a rewrite of the JS engine (there are several now!)

I agree with you that KDBX sucks, but at this point a keepass based on SQLite would be keepass in name only, a new password manager to migrate to.

Took fully 10 minutes to install from homebrew.

I do not believe in this company.

Bombas documentary pls.

Is it cynical to believe this is already true and has been forever?

Is it naive to hope that when AI can do this work, we will all admit that much of the work was never worth doing in the first place, our academic institutions are broken, and new incentives are sorely needed?

I’m reminded of a chapter in Abundance where Ezra Klein notes how successful (NIH?) grant awardees are getting older over time, nobody will take risks on young scientists, and everyone is spending more of their time churning out bureaucratic compliance than doing science.

https://subdavis.com/posts/2025-12-twin-cities-climate/ is an example of a post where I attempted to visualize the subjective lived experience of climate change in my city.

I will shamelessly promote the bandcampsync [1] CLI tool for automating downloads of your bandcamp library and bandcamp-sync-flask [2] wrapper that I built so I could invoke it from the web on my phone after I buy an album.

Clearly shows that, at the moment the officer fires, he is not in front of the vehicle at all. He actually moves FURTHER toward the vehicle and leans over the hood in order to get a better shot. The angle Trump tweeted of course makes it seem like she rammed him, but this is the better angle to see the timing. She reverses and cuts it hard right, and he has to lean TOWARD her vehicle.

I've watched them all repeatedly. It's clear she was blocked in at the front, trying to pull out, and yielded, waving the ICE vehicles to go around front.

They instead got out, needlessly attempted to drag her from her vehicle, and she freaked out and tried to GTFO by turning right to avoid hitting any of them. She was shot and killed for it.

It's fake.

I don't think this is insignificant. IMO it's a trust and culture problem that probably needs to be addressed.

Even if it's possible for individuals to curate a positive experience for themselves, at a population level, it's still a corrosive, addictive, reductive medium. The incentives are the same. You can't outrun McLuhan.

Bluesky, Mastodon, Truth Social, Threads, etc. only work as long as users feel like they're surrounded by safe ideas and allies. None of it scales. It only works in echo-chamber mode.

Your definition is fine for you, but it’s not what TFA is about.
