About to pull the trigger on switching from Claude, back to OpenAI after 2 years. It's just too much value at the table at this point. Anthropic has been too late on so many things: Multimodal, larger context windows, agentic use, empathetic models, etc... Any final thoughts on why I shouldn't switch?

Too much day to day politics. I wish there were more philosophical conversations. Here's one for you: Would you prefer: A) human-controlled AGI which will inevitably produce even more hierarchy among humans but at least establishes some intrinsic human future B) decentralized AGI which will inevitably maximize for its own values (i.e. objective function), which simply cannot be fully aligned with core human values (these are the only two options under capitalist & growth-obsessed systems) https://ai-2027.com/

You'll see people in the West still using the word "gulag" for the place people are forcibly sent to, without due process. We should give that up. The word is el salvador now. No one is doing this anymore. It's only the US.

I asked my vibecoding dev friend how much it would cost to redevelop something like this today. His answer was sobering: "It can't be done. Neither AI nor we know how."

I wrote this when stock market was crashing, but it also applies when stock market is recovering. Other data tells you a lot more information than the manipulators.

Here's the real issue. You have let them separate you into apolitical and political. Why fight oligarchs when you can snooze ppl to sleep?

Stock market is not an indication of how well your country is doing. Stop pretending as if it means anything. Share unemployment data, inflation data, missed loan payments, Gini coefficient, or even consumer sentiment data. They're all more accurate indicators than stock market. (and yes, they all say US is f*cked)

Trump is at the "this is all FUD, just HODL guys" stage of the dump. Speaks like a true crypto degen who'll hold until zero.

Clearly tariffs will hurt a lot of people and the larger economy. It will affect not just Americans but the entire world negatively this and probably even next year. This makes me sad, but the data analyst in me can't help but be curious about the long term results for the US. There's a leftist argument to bringing production to local regions (even though Trump's vision is obviously oligarchs controlling that production and not workers as it should be). I don't believe it will be positive long term either. I'm just curious to observe.

Hot take: I know the 😎 edgy techno-left 😎 position on copyright is "intellectual property is still property" but it's pretty lame for the techno-left to accept the narrative of capitalists abolishing the only type of property that can be produced by something everyone inherently owns, and no other property.
