>The result: Scrape evolved from a small experiment to “load-bearing and critical infrastructure”

Please be satire

Oh it gets worse. Apparently Comcast is now using a voice-changing AI - it's a real (probably Latin or Asian) person getting their voice replaced on-the-fly to sound "American."

Having been to defcon a number of times, I truly have no idea what you're talking about.

Agreed. I suppose they'd have slightly less credibility by saying "we hacked <unnamed company>" but it strikes me as far classier than naming & shaming.

Based on Opus 5, I can only conclude they've activated their plan to drive the stock price to 0

Seems like a whole lot of nothing for the average user. They have really lost the plot.

As one random example, today I had it hit a refusal loop when adding a country selector dropdown to a form, presumably because it contained a “bad” country name? I hit refusals at least 2-3 times per day, sometimes many more. The worst part is it is often right in the middle of a multi-stage task, so the only option is really to switch to Opus 5 and let it defecate its absurdly verbose comments all over the rest of the edits in the turn and hope it doesn’t go on one of its tangents, then have Sol do damage control. Oh and I got approved for their “cyber verification program” blessing, which comically does absolutely nothing for Fable.

Fable feels less cumbersome to work with, but it is SO DAMN ANNOYING with the refusals that I'm leaning more and more on Sol, and very much looking forward to GPT6. Just seems like Anthropic is trying their hardest to ruin their reputation and user experience.

Fun one: Costa Rican addresses are still often relative to a landmark. I used to have a subcontractor there, and his address was something like "500m north of the old church" (which IIRC wasn't even there anymore). It was kinda hard to figure out how to get this into the DHL website, but it always made it there.

The PR? He said it was AI in the comment you replied to...

I don't think the post itself reads like AI at all, but that's just me.

And therein lies the problem. Clearly, having one overworked controller running a combined tower is not safe nor sustainable.

This. Go look at the atc subreddit, controllers have been begging for help for ages. This isn't one guy's fault.

>it's customary to leave a path in the left 'passing lane' for any traffic that wants/needs to go faster than you

It's not just customary in many (most?) states, it's the law. People who sit in the left lane are the problem.

But the forces are the same all around the bottle (again assuming it is open)
