Funny idea, but never going to happen, not legal.
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 1 week ago:
There are no guardrails.
We CAN set the guardrails, I do it constantly. This technology is very powerful, it’s up to us to use good practices, it’s up to business leaders and developers to ensure that precautions are taken.
My main recommendation, and hard limit that will never change: Do not let the AI make core file changes without human-in-the-loop permission every time.
If you let an AI agent delete files outside of your project directory on your computer without you needing to click “I approve” with the ability to review it, you’re setting yourself up for a huge mistake. Never give AI agents access to anything outside project scope, and keep project scope tight.

The developer is to blame. Using a cutting edge tool irresponsibly. I have made mistakes using AI to help coding as well, never this bad though. Blaming AI would be like blaming the hammer a roofer was using to hammer nails and slamming their finger accidentally with it. You don’t blame the hammer, you blame the negligence of the roofer.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 1 week ago:
Reputable second hand sellers guarantee that the device works properly before shipping. If I needed a laptop, I would get a low grade one on eBay for cheap. I would probably get a used Dell Precision 5570 Laptop with an i9/A2000.

Why is it sad?
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 1 week ago:
Why would anyone buy a new laptop when the second hand market is so available? It’s all just novelty. I wouldn’t touch this, all I can think about is what it’ll look like in the second hand market in about 3 years.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 2 weeks ago:
Interesting, I tried it with DeepSeek and got an incorrect response from the direct model without thinking, but then got the correct response with thinking. There’s a reason why there’s a shift towards “thinking” models, because it forces the model to build its own context before giving a concrete answer.

The matrix protocol is actually easy to use, it just takes a bit of effort to get into. Once you’re in, then it’s as easy as Discord, I haven’t had any issues and it’s been a great learning experience. joinmatrix.org

- Comment on AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year 3 weeks ago:
I’m glad I bought an 8 TB HDD about a year ago as an investment, it’s now $50 more expensive a year later. I don’t plan on ever filling it up, but it’s been helpful, and good insurance to have if I ever create a project that requires that space.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 3 weeks ago:
There’s nothing stopping you from creating a room for that and inviting people.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 3 weeks ago:
In hindsight the accounts counter was incorrect it was adding up all the accounts from every room without considering that many of the same accounts come from different rooms. I’ll have to add a deeper tracker which I don’t think is necessary to track individual accounts, outside of the scope of the activity tracker.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 3 weeks ago:
Glad to hear it, if you have any suggestions please let me know.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 4 weeks ago:
The biggest problem I’ve noticed is that the amount of “Members” is displayed in clients, but so many rooms have a lot of “Members” but no real activity. Which is what this tracker attempts to solve by looking at actual chat messages and timestamps.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 4 weeks ago:
Yea I have, and that’s exactly why I created this. Finding them without this tool would have been really annoying. Here’s a screenshot of the top 12h rooms:
Right now they are pretty diverse. The two most active I recommend starting off in if you’re English speaking are #envs_lounge:matrix.org and #anime:matrix.org
This is the one I made matrix.to/#/#all-topics:matrix.org before I created the activity tracker and realized there were several others.

- Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months 4 weeks ago:
All of that is speculation, none of it true. I’m an AI user, where’s my money?
- Comment on 64GB of DDR5 RAM now costs more than a MacBook Air - memory prices have surged 300% in just six months 4 weeks ago:
To be clear, that doesn’t mean AI is going away. It just means no one is actually going to pay for AI models anymore because open-weight free models will be extremely cheap and powerful.

Meanwhile we could be using this technology to solve real world business problems. There is an insane amount of misguided waste coming from AI. 🤷
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 1 month ago:
No, the AI boom will falter one way or another. Free open source models will out perform proprietary models by the end of this year. The amount of money that customers will actually pay for AI services is much lower than expected. It really is similar to the dotcom bubble and how briefly people thought domain names were going to be insanely valuable.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I think you give them too much credit, I think it’s just incompetence and feature creep, and Microsoft desperately trying to hold on to users while more switch to Linux. The enshittification will rapidly increase, and more will realize they don’t have to pay at all for a good operating system.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
So stupid, given how quickly computers have become more powerful and cheaper over time. Local PC hardware will never be antiquated, and is only becoming more important over time.

Depends on the model, I think Opus 4.5 is the only model that I’ve prompted which is getting close to not just being a boring sycophant.

It’s all already been used to train AI at this point.
