And it gets dragged down by Anthropic actively injecting unhelpful things into prompts without telling users about them (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/58262).

I think the key thing to understand is that LLMs work as assistants because, quite by accident, they turned out to be roleplay machines. Anthropic has some articles digging into this, but the short version is that training an LLM to do useful work is effectively the same as teaching it how to play the character of 'loyal assistant'. This is why many 'jailbreaks' are about either manipulating the framing of that character, or getting the LLM to break character in some way. Tugging on the heartstrings works because the character isn't 'heartless robot' (heartless robot characters don't get positive end user engangement), it's 'loyal assistant', and even loyal assistants have heartstrings to be tugged.

For me it's mostly been the "this person bought a vacuum, time to advertise 50 other vacuums to them" kind of result.

New Jersey just declared a state of emergency after an unprecedented cold snap wiped out crops across the state, up to 90+% for some farms.

This service is doomed because it will immediately be taken over by automated spam.

Abuse handling prowess will be the USP that defines the first $100M company in the “agent mail” space.

It's the newest version of Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment:

The word "alive" is doing a lot of work here. A brain is pretty much permanently fried after five to fifteen minutes without oxygen, and these are donor brains, not some emergency brain extraction team, so the timeframe will be much longer than that. There might be 'life' left in there in the technical sense, but there's no 'person' left.

What that actually is, is a reward pool for Jan 6 participants and other people who have done illegal things to support Trump.

The vast majority of the money from that pool will certainly go to Trump himself (and his family when he dies) in the long run.

He'll dole out small amounts of it to J6ers and other supporters in a public display of rewarding loyalty, but enriching himself is always the prime directive over every other concern and who (in his mind) has been the biggest target of "DOJ/govt weaponization?"... himself, of course.

He will take almost all of it to go along with the various other billions of dollars he has scammed away from the American people as president.

I think there's something in place where he's not directly eligible, but I doubt that applies to his family.

This is for a passenger.

They're trying to test if it's good enough to replaced the few remaining paid radio/streaming DJs yet.
