The Hugging Face Incident is, in a distorted and dangerous way, an illustration of what the AI companies are trying to achieve. They want long-running AI agents to work without human intervention, solving problems and organizing as needed, with our human job limited to giving instructions and evaluate output.

Both our capacity for connection and our capacity for separation have to be cultivated into responses that are life-giving and life-sustaining. The power to hold and the power to let go, to connect and to disconnect, each of these powers can be used for good or for ill.

\n

Ethical maturity learns the difference and knows the right time for each. Neither power can be valorized as an absolute good without risking harm.

I think part of what makes that harder now is how much online writing revolves around outrage. It is difficult to build a lasting community when everyone is primarily gathered around something they hate. […]

\n

It’s one of the reasons I’ve talked for years about sharing your passions and interests instead. Write about the things you love. Write about something personal, strange, niche, or meaningful to you. Develop your own identity rather than […] attach yourself to whatever subject is generating the most attention that week.

It was actually in Tunis that one evening, withdrawn in a prayer niche of the Great Mosque, [Ibn ‘Arabī] composed a poem which he communicated to no one. He did not even commit it to writing, but registered the day and the hour of his inspiration in his memory. A few months later, in Seville, a young man unknown to him, approached him and recited the verses. Overwhelmed, Ibn ‘Arabī asked him: “Who is their author?” And the other replied: “Muhammad Ibn ‘Arabī” The young man had never seen Ibn ‘Arabī and did not know who was standing before him. Then how did...

Anthropic announced a limits change on X in the most convoluted way possible:

Starting September 14, we’re permanently raising standard weekly limits in Claude Code by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. Until then, the current 50% increase will be in place.

Compared to today, this works out to a 17% reduction in weekly limits on Claude Code. We’re working on exciting changes that will make it feel like you’re getting more from Claude, while having more visibility and control of your usage. Can’t wait to share them.

Daring Fireball: Trump Declares That Lake Ontario Is Now ‘Lake America’

FACTOID: HOMES is the longstanding mnemonic for recalling the five Great Lake names: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior. “Hames”, technically, is a playable Scrabble/Wordle word (“a part of a horse collar”), but it’s far too obscure to serve as a mnemonic. That leaves one word in the English language consisting of the five necessary letters: SHAME.

This decision was incredibly tough, as we care deeply about our models being broadly available for developers.
