@ID_AA_Carmack John, I miss old Twitter too. Grok is actively producing CSAM right now, with no interventions. Bots sporting checkmarks but run by LLMs are the vast majority of replies on here. This place isn't what it was. By staying here, you give legitimacy to something that should end.

I've been building up a knowledge base folder in anticipation of this. Between automemory, loop/schedule, etc. it was becoming apparent that Claw-esque stuff was getting built into the Desktop app.
Felix Rieseberg@felixrieseberg

We're shipping a new feature in Claude Cowork as a research preview that I'm excited about: Dispatch! One persistent conversation with Claude that runs on your computer. Message it from your phone. Come back to finished work. To try it out, download Claude Desktop, then pair your phone.

@trq212 @Pranit Was talking to a friend about this – does the 1M token limit have the impact of causing users to hit limits more often, because compaction happens less frequently and more tokens get consumed each round?

Anthropic just pulled the oldest trick in SaaS pricing. I pay $200/mo for Claude Max. My limits have been noticeably worse this past week. Now they announce 2x off-peak usage for two weeks. Sounds generous. But here’s what actually happens: limits quietly drop, a temporary 2x makes the reduced limit feel normal, the promo ends, and you’re left at a baseline lower than where you started. You just didn’t notice the downgrade because the 2x absorbed the transition. These AI plans are massively subsidized. The raw compute behind a heavy user costs multiples of the subscription price. Every move like this is the subsidy quietly correcting. Very sneaky, Anthropic.

A small thank you to everyone using Claude: We’re doubling usage outside our peak hours for the next two weeks.

@McFaul @cindygallop This f$cker was supported by a free speech crowd, right? By libertarians, right? What a set of accomplishments - his assault on the press and free speech will have adverse consequences for generations.

@emollick I got ridiculed for saying this a couple years ago, but these sites could dramatically improve quality by requiring a token micropayment for each post.

I know I go on about this, but comments to all of my posts, both here and on LinkedIn, are no longer worth reading at all due to AI bots. That was not the case a few months ago. (Or rather, bad/crypto comments were obvious, but now it is only meaning-shaped attention vampires)

Talking to agents in Slack, the new hot AI UX, will end up being just as much a transitional phase as talking to agents via chatbot websites. We need new systems to manage agentic work that also support new ways of organizing. Much more UX imagination will be required.

@aiwithak @scottbelsky That part is still mostly notes in a doc. I suspect it's going to initially be a mix of explicit priority for certain projects, along with elements of recency and urgency.

@trq212 @awildfig Would genuinely be great for Anthropic and staff to use Bluesky. You've already taken one major political stand for the good of humanity. Not sure why you'd want to stay here among all the nazis.

Do staff engineers make $130k or $6M a year? The answer is both. There’s 10x, maybe even 50x, more variance in the job market than most people realize. If you’re a job seeker, you usually only have one real data point: your own experience. Anything wildly different from that can feel hard to believe. But when you work with hundreds of job seekers (we helped 350+ last year at the @recursecenter), you see just how extreme the spread really is. In 2025, we saw: - candidates negotiate their offers up by $700k+ - companies refuse to budge even $5k - senior engineers struggle to get offers - college dropouts get multiple offers - ICs making $1M, $2M, even $6M+ a year in liquid comp - staff engineers making $90k/year - remote jobs with 4-day workweeks - in-person jobs with 7-day workweeks - job searches that took three days - job searches that took over a year - a candidate who got an offer after a single phone call - a candidate who got rejected after 17 (!!) rounds As with everything, context matters. The candidates getting eye-popping numbers have deep, specialized ML experience (and some haven’t had a night off in months). The staff engineers making 1/10th as much are choosing mission, flexibility, and work-life balance (or they’re in Europe). Many of the folks struggling to get offers are playing on extra-hard mode: they’re great engineers, but life and family constraints narrow their search. The programming job market isn't monolithic; it’s fragmented. And advice that’s true in one slice of it can be completely wrong in another.

This does, however, challenge the business model of SaaS. If it gets much easier to make software for an audience of 10, it paradoxically gets much harder to sell software to an audience of 10 million.

@JamieBonkiewicz @carolradq What about hundreds or thousands getting measles because RFK Jr is misinforming America and creating tragically terrible public health policy?

If getting an abortion is murder, then a child dying because their parents refused to vaccinate them should be too

Apple bet on privacy-preserving small models running locally, that would occasionally (statelessly!) connect to big models that could do more. But if agentic work requires big models (and evidence is that it does), then the small models running locally will be very limited in use
