It's not World War 3. It's just two increasingly overlapping unsolvable wars involving two increasingly coherent geopolitical blocs consisting of dozens of countries spanning three continents, most major nuclear powers holding 95% of global nuclear stockpiles and the vast majority of global military spending and resources, with nuclear-capable cruise, ballistic, and hypersonic missiles flying back and forth, attacks on strategic nuclear early warning systems, threats of nuclear first-use and global nuclear holocaust, etc. Fighting over issues the leaders of the involved superpowers and great powers have described as existential and beyond compromise. Not World War 3 though, currently. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/26/ukraine-war-br...
Curiosity: For most of the past five years, I've known ways to do better than Anthropic, OpenAI, and friends in many ways, at least on paper. I know I was right about many of them since many would show up 6-24 months later tools from the major providers, or otherwise become standard practice. A central problem is the Mythical Man-Month. True, I could do those, beating then-state-of-the-art, but only given 2-5 years. I suspect many other people knew about them too and could do so as well. As I noted above, throwing people and dollars caused many of those to be built in less time than I could have regardless. Other methods, I'm less confident about (>50%, <80%), but would lead to similar speeds, but would need $$$$$ in compute and engineering infrastructure to build out. E.g. they nee…

I would love to follow this advice, expect there is no proof that it leads to better results. Maybe it’s only better on Anthropic codebases (e.g., Bun). Or maybe it’s only marginally better but substantially more expensive. Other comments in this thread show that your mileage may vary . But we spend so much money on Claude Code and give it so many responsibilities that we deserve at least some undeniable proof that it’s bringing value. Where is the evidence that this new type of prompting is better on real life examples?
So is it possible to say "No bots except Google, OpenAI, Grok, Claude and Perplexity"? As far as I can tell, Google is the only one sending me visitors. And the other big AI players might do so in the future. Another option would be "No anonymous bots". So at least if a bot would want to crawl my site, they would have to identify themselves. Since the rise of the AI bots, I am getting hurt badly with insane amounts of requests from residential IPs that mimic real humans. The only difference being they don't make me any money. Only produce costs. By the way, how is the situation over at Amazon's Cloudfront? Do they offer something that helps? Anyone here with them?
The ones I'm seeing on Bing aren't that interesting. Bing seems to use Cloudflare captcha but hide their branding which is a first I've seen. A lot are "shared by Anthropic" I wonder if they are demo or what. Why would employees all be using that account name? And why even be using web chat? You can archive them in ~30 seconds with megalodon.jp
I spent some time running mitmproxy and watching the system prompts and it's what drove me to codex. the main issue for me was their system prompt wrapped the CLAUDE.MD with a "IMPORTANT: this context may or may not be relevant to your tasks. You should not respond to this context unless it is highly relevant to your task." https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/18560 Anyhow- if anyone is sufficiently curious and has access- just tell the agent to setup an mitmproxy to watch the traffic and see what the system prompt looks like.
I'm the founder of Scalattice, this is my second company, third total product. I'm a 2x founder building some challenging software, some easy software, and some curiosity based tools that I've just always wanted to be a part of! So here is Scalattice. Scalattice is an OpenAI-compatible inference API. You keep the OpenAI SDK, swap base_url + API key, and call open models (Qwen3, Llama 3.3 70B, Gemma 3, DeepSeek R1, etc.). Inference is performed by a provider node on our distributed network of consumer hosted inference machines, we run an open source agent ( https://github.com/scalattice/scalattice-agent ) which works in Rust to run the inference and get the provider paid. In short, anyone can become a provider, offer up their machine with our Windows/Linux Rust age…
Last week Yelp licensed 330M reviews to OpenAI. ChatGPT now recommends local businesses and lets users request quotes right in the chat. Which means a whole new channel of warm leads is about to hit small businesses that are already terrible at responding quickly. We built an AI receptionist that answers calls for small businesses. When the Yelp/ChatGPT deal dropped, we extended it to auto-respond to Yelp leads too. 15 seconds vs the industry average of 4 hours. Curious if anyone else is building around AI-generated leads as a category.
Debian Airport is debating whether to allow aircraft to land on autopilot. On the one hand it’s nice that autopilot gives more people the chance to fly, and it lets experienced pilots fly more often. On the other hand, Debian Airport has, to date, been run by a carefully curated club of “stick and rudder” pilots. It’s a club where the air safety is backed up by nothing more than the name and reputation of the pilot coming in to land. What if Claude goes down on approach? Or you run out of OpenAI tokens just before touchdown? What’s the point of having a named pilot if the control of the aircraft is in someone else’s hands, in part or in whole? With actual pilots you have to take an exam and pass a practical test to prove you are competent. It’s a part of the analogy that could apply well …

> U.S. policymakers believe that even if the gap is small—like six months to a year—whoever reaches AGI first... From past experience, AGI was never seriously discussed in these kinds of conversations beyond thought experiments, and was basically humoring SBF, Daniela Amodei, and the other EA types (some deep believers, but some who I felt were cynically using it as a way to preempt competition back when OpenAI and Google were the behemoths). The big worry is applications of AI in C4ISR, OffSec, loitering munitions, Disinfo/social media botting (notice the recent shift towards identification on social media ;)), and other sorts of DefenseTech adjacent usecases. The second worry is that an AI race turns into an infra buildout race, and HPC is extremely dual use, especially in the s…
> You want to sue them or something? I mean, if this were an american company vs an american company, i think it would be a long drawn out civil case and brought before the Supreme Court (I still this is ultimately will be brought before the supreme court). It could also be argued frontier models are far more important to national security than most military programs, even versus next gen fighter jets. The fact that Alibaba stock, which is also listed on the NYSE, barely budged after Anthropic made these claims imo tells me that the market doesn't think that a lone american company could go after these companies by themselves. Alibaba denied and there's not much they can do alone, I mean would the CCP allow Alibaba go through a discovery process of a normal civil trial? It might have t…
I'm reminded of this section of a Douglas Adams quote: "Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again." I like how this is not even specific to life nor genes, and it's not hard to add to it the idea of happening-again in ways that make the thing better-or-worse at happening again. Personally I think this applies to all coherently-causal systems.. still trying to figure out whether to believe QM is fully causal or not! (Currently seems like it might be a mixture?)
That's not necessary. Sometimes we make choices and we feel the need to justify them in vivid flamewars regardless of how arbitrary. Vi vs emacs or amd vs intel, now anthropic vs openai. We love to take sides, to belong to a small community of peers, no?

This tool doesn't seem to work very well. I tried to run it against my own harness that uses the Anthropic SDK(s) in Go and it turns up nothing. It doesn't seem to understand Go code?
We want more control, not less. This (among many others) is the reason I use GPT over Claude. It adheres very closely to your instructions and rules. You can build up your own workflows and systems as a result. Claude just does whatever it wants, regardless of what you tell it. It's a miserable experience. Claude is what you use when you want to one-shot a simple cookie-cutter product that has no nuance in it. A product that everyone else is going to develop as well. ChatGPT is what you use when you want bespoke products and steerability over complex codebases with nuanced decision making. Anthropic are optimizing for the person who has never written a line of code in their life and has no idea what they want. Computer go brrrr. OpenAI are optimizing for software developers who want to ta…
