Oh, I guess RAM and GPU price increases are just imaginary because AI models can just replicate themselves and run on anything. But hey... this guy will get what he wants. He'll scare the shit out of politicians and non-technical people into thinking that AI is just going to self-replicate and take over the world, to the point where they make some really fucking dumb policy decisions.

Spot on 🎯 I've since made the Claude Code exist dance and couldn't be happier with my decision. Will I be back? Who knows πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Is the model capibilities compatible for most use cases? For shizzle πŸ‘Œ

Sure are a lot of folks looking at the Claude Code --> Codex exodus as proof "Anthropic is doomed," when instead the takeaway is "coding assistants and their harnesses are trivially interchangeable."

⇨ gridctl by @wcollins.io eliminates fragmented MCP configuration chaos by letting you securely manage, aggregate, and link every MCP server behind a single local endpoint. ⇨ Access your agent skills and tool stacks from anywhere using one declarative YAML file. Learn more: devhunt.org/tool/gridctl

Putting this in the β€œyah, we know we screwed up and made the model respond with nonsensical babble to consume even more tokens, but here’s another setting that equally will add yet another CoT process step and burn even more tokens until we can figure something out” category,

You can now set Claude Code's output style to Concise. Claude leads with the result, keeps responses short, and still gives full detail when you ask. Turn it on in /config β†’ Output style, or set "outputStyle": "Concise" in settings.json.

Hockey pucks can move at a fast rate of speed when fired by a person with a wicked shot. And those willing to jump in front of that shot, might be a little delusional and crazy. Oh wait, that's me 😜

Skills over MCP is not skills vs MCP. It's skills delivered over MCP as a protocol. Think voice over IP. MCP stays the transport. What rides on top gets a lot more useful. @MacroEngineered + Angie Jones break it down on this episode from @packetpushers: bit.ly/3RU1XC7

Using a generic agent harness (e.g. Codex, Claude, OpenCode) + CLI/MCP is better than "Ask me anything" built-in product chat boxes in every product I've ever tried. A big reason is I can use the latest frontier models, another is mixing more context. Why your box over mine?
