I'm so suck of LLM generated replies on Twitter. I stopped replying almost entirely to my replies on my own Tweets because I expect all of them to just be LLM slop. Why are y'all doing this? LLMs Related

Hi guys, I’m going to start a company. It will be important. But it will also suck. It will be valuable. But will leave death and destruction in its wake. It will be transformational. But it will destroy society as we know it. So bottom line, please buy my company’s product. You can count on us! Thank you. Related

This would suck, but we will prioritize great service for customers until we can get back on top of things. Quoting @thsottiaux Demand for Astra is really unprecedented. We're pulling all the levers possible to sustain the demand, but I've not seen anything like it until now and we went through very steep growth before. Priority will always be to keep excellent service for existing users, but we might have to pause new Pro… Related

Oh hey everybody, I just remembered I keep receipts on the worst people who ever interact with me. Please don't forget that Vandad Nahavandipoor (@VandadNP) is a guy who thought it was OK to assure me that I would suck Trump's dick. Quoting @danielpunkass Speaking of dingalings. I want to remind everybody that you should never, ever, ever, work with Vandad Nahavandipoor (@VandadNP). He's a bad guy. Related

I'm impressed with Claude Design. I see its disruption starting with smaller teams. As a founder I find myself turning to it more and more for the convenience of one-off design tasks. Sure, it's super slow, and one-shot quality is not quite there, and its image capabilities suck, but using it in between multi-tasking other things, it's helping me move faster. As @HarryStebbings says the "all-in-one" Claude interface has a huge psychological advantage as being the place people are already working. I don't think it's a great tool yet for a designer-designer (the speed / control dials are not ye… Quoting @HarryStebbings Why we switched from Figma to Claude Design “I let the team do whatever is best for them, and this is a trend I've observed amongst almost everybody: Claude Design has done a great job. People really like using it, it's easy to use, and we've had a natural movement towards it. It's also easier to n… Anthropic Related

Their words
Like, okay, there's an advanced civilization that is visiting Earth regularly. They don't want to be detected. They've got super powerful technology, but they really suck at using it because we keep seeing them, we keep seeing them, but then they disappear. I mean, explain to me what rational world that works under.

I expect that the delta between 5 and 4 will be the same as between 4 and 3 and I think it is our job to live a few years in the future and remember that the tools we have now are going to kind of suck looking backwards at them and that’s how we make sure the future is better.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
