Yeah. Pure speculation, but I would not be surprised if Anthropic jumps on this opportunity to nerf their 20x plan soon as well. Would probably be the best time do it to minimize the public backlash since OpenAI took the lead on it.

Absolutely. Running NixOS is a wonderful experience for this reason. NixOS + LLMs make it a breeze to make changes to your system, install and configure new software, and debug issues. Having every aspect of your system defined in a git repo is the perfect fit for agent harnesses.
I'll admit, even with LLMs to help, the Nix language and NixOS did have a rather steep learning curve, because it's quite different from anything I'd experienced before. But after getting the hang of it, I can't imagine going back to a "normal" OS and I'm very happy I put in the time to get over the initial friction.

Since you mention VAEs: you might be interested in Active Inference, which is built on minimizing variational free energy. Same E−TS form as the thermodynamic kind (Helmholtz free energy), so it does fit your thermo/info/NN question. And the negative free energy is equivalent to the evidence lower bound used in generative models like VAEs. Lots of really fascinating connections between all of these topics :)
There's a free 2022 textbook: https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5299/Active-Infere...
And a brand new one (though it's a bit pricey): https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262050951/fundamentals-of-activ...

I received it too. I wonder if they sent this to all pro/max subscribers or only those who they’ve flagged as having used a third party harness.

Might be interested in https://github.com/shytikov/pragmasevka which is my current go-to font.

Kagi is doing something similar to this, though it's not trying to remove absolutely all AI, just "slop": https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/slopstop.html

Global-by-default scoping was one of Lua's largest mistakes. I wish they'd fix it, but of course it would break backwards compat.

The link to the Amazon product looks like a non-affiliate link when you hover over it. But if you click, as soon as the mousedown event fires, they swap in an affiliate link. How rude!
