There's also, depending on interface, various prompt iterations that augment our own. On a prior occasion of notable irritating change it turned out to be cursor's prompts and now I'm back to just using vs code because I don't need my effort to go into sidestepping cursor's changes

Yeah we're all noticing it. Some folks think it's intentional to slowly degrade before a new release to make it seem like more of a step forward. I more think compute austerity is there but also suspect the banality that models get out of date fast.

We really already did this timeline with all the google glassholes at yoga classes in Palo Alto in the 2010s... the frame style is really not going to change anything

Zoom in from the prior side of the house with new windows pictures. On the lighting wire with vines where I crosses a drain pipe there's a birds nest with a soft beige mourning dove in it

Many of us don’t work directly in space science, but we were inspired to become scientists by NASA. Today was an inspirational day, and I hope Artemis II galvanizes the public to recognize the importance of having a strong science program for our identity, not to mention our security and prosperity.

If it went through infra as code that could explain how they then called it 'user error'. Unnecessary nearly identical ostensibly noop changes that bloat lines of code obscuring proper review is one of the hallmarks of AI coding tools (including Claude) in my experience.

that part of the customer service interaction where they thank me for having a pedestrian name based email is alarmingly common for what it must mean about *gestures broadly*

I'm aware there are various recommendation features out there but while they're great for my non-fiction tastes they've struggled with my taste in fiction

I'm looking for fiction recommendations - on one hand I'd say I'm looking for distraction but the last fiction I loved was 'On The Beach' so if vaguely comforting depictions of the banalities of the apocalypse are your jam too let me know what else you've liked
