   Altman can both be mentally unwell and a grifter, they aren't mutually exclusive.

   Crazy that you can't even read an article anymore without having to cough up money and/or provide your personal data.

   I would argue that "abundance and growing the pie for everyone" is even more unfathomable given how things are structured currently. The wealth gap will continue to widen until something gives.

   Good point. Guess it depends on how privy the four astronauts are to the Camarda document, etc.

   For the sake of the astronauts onboard Artemis, I hope they make it home safe. Nonetheless, pretty disgusted to see NASA effectively playing God with human lives at stake.

   Pretty sure @jhogendorn was being tongue-in-cheek to call out (semi-related) questionable behavior from Keychron.

    Love my Keychron Q1 Max. Awesome to see them open source their design files.

    Appreciate it. Was questioning whether my grasp of the English language was deteriorating!

    "ever" - used for emphasis in questions and other remarks, expressing astonishment or outrage. "who ever heard of a grown man being frightened of the dark?"

    This may be one of the most unethical decisions I have ever seen a company make in recent years (disregarding fraud and the like.)

    Likes are obviously correlated with the number of views a post gets. I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

    There are varying degrees of evil though. Saying that Anthropic and OpenAI are both "evil" to the same degree is disingenuous (in my opinion) given Altman's sociopathic behavior.

    I heard through the grapevine that both Satoshi and Back were human beings. Coincidence? I think not. /s

    Agreed. Meditation and mindfulness have confirmed the importance of “being idle,” at least for me. Making an active effort to not be distracted by thought is quite the challenge, but it has brought me great peace.

    I did get the API credit, but it was "only" $100 so I'm still ~$80 shy.

    Good point. I did actually cancel my Claude subscription a week or two ago, but I renewed it (regretfully) just the other day. The only other SOTA model that seems to be on-par with Opus 4.6 for engineering work is (maybe?) Codex 5.3, thoug
