The Friend AI thing sounds to me like they’re creating responses based on user inputs. But because users are treating it like an AI, not a human, the AI responses are becoming more and more aggressive and rude.
Because there’s no such thing as a one-sided friendship.

I put together an annotated version of the new Claude 4 system prompt, covering both the prompt Anthropic published and the missing, leaked sections that describe its various tools
It's basically the secret missing manual for Claude 4, it's fascinating!

i have a framework in my head called 'some of everything, or all of nothing', about how if you want something you have to be willing to share it, or else you'll end up with none of it. and, anyway, thinking about that in light of the apple ruling

Only completed the sewer tutorial, but if you’re worried that the Oblivion remaster removes the notorious (and beloved) jankiness of the original... do not be worried.

My “Instagram is bad for you” stance just keeps getting reconfirmed.
For at least a day, Meta has been serving up extremely graphic, violent videos in Reels. Car crashes, shootings, cartel executions, heavy machinery accidents and people being dragged into the water by alligators. Sometimes ten in a row, and sometimes served to kids.

@matthewcassinelli.bsky.social Have you heard any reports of "Hey Siri, run [Shortcut Name]" no longer working on HomePods? I had several I used several times a day and they've all stopped working. Now it just responds with, "What would you like to set it to?" or "Okay, playing All Songs."
