> People should stop building UIs, nobody wants to interact with a UI. Everyone's app should just be an API that you can use with a chatbot.

The last thing people want is interacting with a chatbot for anything that doesn't require a chatbot.

> in terms of functionality and value to users, software ought to be malleable and composable.

No, it shouldn't. The last thing people want is for software to change from under them, or be replaced with the bullshit that is a chatbot.

> plaster a ‘programmable’ interface on top of unstructured data/interface meant for humans

Ah yes. I can imagine everyone "plastering programmable interfaces" on top of daily stuff they want to do. Like buying a ticket to a museum. Ordering Doorsash. Sending a meme to a friend. Renting a car...

Remember when Internet was supposed to withstand nuclear war?

> And destroying civilian infrastructure does not play well with what Russia is trying to sell for the audience.

They sell "we're only targeting military infra" and "we only escalate after unwarranted escalation by Ukraine".

They hit Ukraine's energy grid during literally the coldest days in winter. The audience's reaction? "YES LET THEM FREEZE".

Russia couldn't care less about what they need to sell. They've been hitting civilian infra right and left.

> Russia couldn't care less about what they need to sell. They've been hitting civilian infra right and left.

As they should. Russia did not start the war on Ukraine out of some moral imperative, but simply because they wanted to conquer Ukraine. So there is no limit to what they will attack in Ukraine.

As they should?

And we have seen limits. They toe the line with foreign dignitaries around, and haven’t levelled nuclear plants.

The recent episodes where Trump has begged Ukraine to go easy n Russian has been a darkly amusing development. ‘No cards’ Zelensky must have enjoyed that.

> have heard from several lawyers that at least in US, CFAA[1] in unlikely to be sufficient because it requires intent.

1. What about negligence?

2. Every follow up to every story after the news cycle moved on shows both intent and negligence. To the point of "we opened internet access and told it to hack"

> Cuz OpenAI has been secretly downgrading models on many accounts, including mine lately.

Same with Anthropic. On top of that Anthropic rarely or ever admits any issues, and even if they do, you get like 6 hours of reset. Rmemeber March?

Strange then that Anthropic answers to all user issues with complete derision

> Anthropic has the most information and made the choice they made.

Anthropic is the last company I would trust to make any decisions. Look at any discussions surrounding their "Claude is a tiny game engine" idiocy, numerous bugs that a junior can discover, a full "plugin system" in which they neeeed a dozen files in the worst Clean Code manner to read one of two files etc.

> The AGENTS.md support was implemented via our new extensibility system for CC, called Mods,

AKA "we need 100~ish files wrtitten in the most horrible Clean Code style replete with no two files agreeing on the same naming of the same feature... to read one of two files, one of which has been a de-facto industry standard for over two years"
