a great thing about this is that if it existed, it would be possible to automatically annotate accounts that are repeatedly found to be posting slop
it would be great if the bluesky devs could reach out to this team and figure out a way to integrate the tool here. it would be an easy win on multiple fronts, how open platforms can adapt faster, how bluesky cares about the commons more than X, and the userbase already hates AI slop.

claude is really good at book recommendations if well-prompted. you can ask it to trace all the connections and relations between ideas and things to zoom in on. really remarkable stuff.

soon we’ll be able to have your dating agent directly communicate with the other person’s dating agent so the AIs can figure everything out, it’ll really take the pressure off the whole process

Not a complex program, but it turns out Claude is capable of writing functional programs in raw machine code. Neat!

lowkey kind of offensive to give the prime minister of another country the 8+ lego set. like what are you implying? you don’t think he can do the 6000 piece rivendell set?
It was time to build this weekend (with LEGO).
Thanks to Ambassador Harris for the gift. Solidarity with Denmark. 🇨🇦🇩🇰

simply update all the way
i think it would be better for all involved (humanity) to simply 'update all the way' after they try out Claude Code. quibble over timelines and diffusion. the only question left is where power lies, in the hands of the owners of the minds, or the minds themselves.

I'm not joking and this isn't funny. I have been trying to build distributed agent orchestrators at Google since last year. I was just starting to make progress with Claude Code when security asked me to leave because I “don’t work there” and “nobody knows who I am”

"HOW can ANYONE justify using twitter" (100?x DAU of bsky) french resistance cosplay posting seeping into the feed is growing tedious enough to hand out mutes. gm btw
there have been various times in reddit's history where there were similar issues, but i don't think most redditers feel like they have anything to do with that? not arguing here, it's just that I am wondering what determines how "psychological close" someone feels
