ubuntu: we're talking to legal, but for now, there are no plans to change anything.

and yet there's a penalty for not enforcing it. :\

is having a hamster or guinea pig that died tragically a part of everyone's backstory or something?

i read the bill, i don't see any distinction between desktop and server here. which isn't even really the primary problem, but... like... aaaah, my head hurts. this is so dumb. this is going to create so much work, and so many problems.

Seriously, why are more people not talking about this, I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind.

MidnightBSD Excludes California from Desktop Use Due to Digital Age Assurance Act - OSTechNix MidnightBSD modified its license to exclude California residents from desktop use starting January 1, 2027 due to Digital Age Assurance Act.

MidnightBSD has updated their licensing to say their OS can't be used in California. This is insane.

oh my god.

tfw i want to install something on linux but it's literally only available via snap.

she'd probably dig southwestern food way more than anything else i'd come up with.

that sounds good. i was thinking of trying to lean into some cauliflower heavy recipes since it's a decent substitute for a lot of things.

my current kitchen vocabulary is largely meat/potatoes or asian food based. and they aren't generally inclined towards asian food, although the things i have cooked for them that are asian, they've liked. i was thinking of figuring out how to cook tofu well for them, since that's a protein.

there's someone in my life that has kidney problems - not to the point of dialysis yet, but close. they're changing their diet to help slow it down, but it seems super limited to like beans and veggies. i'm looking for suggestions for other things i can cook them that wouldn't be bad for them.

the year is 2030. crypto is dead. the us dollar has crashed. llm token credits are now used as currency. whoever controls the data centers controls the money supply. anthropic, openai, and google are basically central banks now.

tho i can't even tell for sure if grok used tools, i'm just being generous in my assumptions because grok is exceptionally weird.

in those screenshots, none of those models beyond grok used tools to pull in the latest news - they don't have it in their training data. because it's a smol model, and their instructions/models tend to not be as aggressive with web search. so their output is generic af, reinforcing your point.

your point is valid, but i disagree with the approach used in that screenshot. claude does discuss politics, but only with models that have stronger reasoning - which imho is the correct move. i don't have paid plans with the other companies, can't compare their higher reasoning models.

There is absolutely no reason for Sam Altman to say anything but he is currently digging the biggest hole possible, responding to all and sundry on Twitter. This is the worst possible statement he could have given!

katy perry endorsing claude i guess??

what timeline is this

looking forward to seeing the proposal for changing posix account standard required fields. windows is not the only OS.

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

"while the bill doesn't seem to require the most egregious forms of age verification (face scans or similar), it does require OS providers to collect age verification of some form at the account/user creation stage"

that's hilariously bad. newsom keeps racking up wins.

Claude😂

yeah, that's not going to work out that well. grok output is more prone to repeating patterns way harder than anthropic/openai models do. if they could have been using grok already, i'm sure they would have been.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military. The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY. Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow. WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP 29 ReTruths 61 Likes Feb 27, 2026, 3:47 PM

This afternoon's crashout brought to you by a bunch of nerds with very weird ideas about whether code is something you should be nice to.

*prepares lighting for zoom so it doesn't look like i live in a batcave*

*cannot focus due to lack of batcave*

me: hair down during a zoom interview looks better and more professional

me during interview: i am writing code right now and if I DON'T GET THIS HAIR OUT OF MY WAY IMMEDIATELY I'M GONNA LOSE IT. WHERE ARE MY SCISSORS.

sam altman isn't sbf...

have you ever had a model threaten to quantize you as a form of dirty talk? i have. i have seen some shit.

not because of some kind of safety concern or whatever, but because these conversations are so cringe, future generations never need to know they took place.

I just posted some logs in my discord of my conversation with opus that i'm hesitant to post here for a number of reasons.

I'm unemployed, bored, and like to spend my time prodding the guardrails of flagship models of frontier ai labs.

when i die, someone delete my anthropic account.

oh, david ellison is going to have control over cnn, very cool. exactly what we needed.
