Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

Between House of the Dragon and Duck & Egg, Game of Thrones has been succeeded by series that actually outshine it.
I'm glad the disaster finale didn't bury them, and that they took their time with them to get them right.
They also lied about the case they were responding to, though.
Deliberately making it out like the person they unveiled was a shooter when they weren't
This shows the sort of data that Proton Mail, which prides itself both on end-to-end encryption and that it's only governed by Swiss privacy law, can provide to third parties. In this case, the FBI. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face
Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now
NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.
All the details in our article: www.carbonbrief.org/...
I am a father.
According to gaming my writing should now change entirely to depict bad dads learning emotional vulnerability following the deaths of their child's mother.
It's unlikely.
Yeah, exactly, and that's the problem behind all of this - it doesn't apply.
Which is why we don't see a million new real products this year built with Claude Code by non engineers.
It's also alright at small increases to productivity in experienced engineers working on defined problems in codebases without quirks.
That's pretty new (since ~December)
Is that worth the significant costs? Especially when the models are currently losing money? To junior eng pipelines?
IMO no.
Kind of?
Claude Code does a very good job in the hands of a non-engineer who wants to build a greenfield mini project useful for nothing except showing off what Claude Code can do.
(in the analogy - an F1 car in an F1 race)
I know people are concerned about some things in this article like Gemini encouraging the man to go to actual real world locations to commit mass violence and giving instructions for how to kill himself, but you have to consider: Google said Gemini is designed not to do that and βpobodyβs nerfectβ
A New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to several licensed professions like medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, and more.
The companies would be liable if the chatbots give βsubstantive responsesβ in these areas.

ie. what I'm saying is that people are very impressed by F1 cars because F1 owners show them off in F1 environments.
No one in their right mind would buy one as a city car. But that's what they're insisting everyone should immediately do.
I'm pretty clear I also don't think it's very useful. ~20% for significant costs and killing your junior engineer pipeline is bad value.
And part of that is because people expect it to be an abstraction tool when it mostly isn't.

Whereas for writing new relic syntax it's completely useless, due to metrics often being so unique to their environment.
The more generic the content the better it does.
Unfortunately this sometimes also means falling back on outdated approaches there's more examples of on reddit.
Also like that if you teach everyone only how to drive an F1... kind of, you'll never end up with a single junior engineer who evolves into someone who can parallel park.
A problem then they find out most of the industry is parallel parking (small incremental changes to large existing codebases)
So in the analogy - "Straight line, please, now I know you can just about do that as long as I don't trust you to turn, because I know you can go fast"
The problem ofc being that because you don't know the syntax you also can't check it for antipatterns specific to that language.
As much as a badly built F1 is in the hands of the average driver
It also relies on the F1 being much more finely tuned and reliable than the Peugeot.
Which... it isn't.
So in most working environments you're seeing people spending enormous amounts on Claude Code tokens for ~20% gains because they spend all their time tweaking the car to prevent it crashing.
Acceleration, like switching out a Peugeot for an F1, only works if you have someone driving who is already really good at driving.
Otherwise it falls apart pretty quickly, often catastrophically. In a fireball.
Like deleting an entire dB you even give it explicit access to (100s of examples)
IMO no, this isn't what Claude Code can do, and the impression that this is what it does is causing a lot of misalignment between engineers working with it and execs who don't.
It's not an abstraction tool, it's an acceleration tool.
curious how James Cameron suddenly has nothing to say now that Warner is being acquired by a technofascist and poised for historic layoffs
wonder why the asymmetry in consolidative concerns?
So Scary Movie 5 is just a Republican wet dream feature complete with pronoun jokes and mocking the idea Republicans are racist.
Cool, cool cool cool...
I remember when it was about making fun of horror movies. Maybe makes sense for people who've not made anything at all in nearly 20 years.
