Cyberpunk-style information whiplash, with a passing note that Claude Duet is out
The author muses that the online feed feels like Cyberpunk 2077 or Ready Player One, ending with a throwaway line that Claude Duet is now available; the post is mostly personal reflection.
There are some days I really do feel like i'm in Cyberpunk 2077. Or maybe Ready Player One is the better example. When I step away from my PC, I'm back in South Africa. But when I'm on this site, it's endless streams of information. The whiplash is a bit crazy. The people watching this simulation keep upping the ante. Some crazy thing could happen eg 5 days before Ant IPO, it gets pulled on grounds that a public listing will put the company at risk from foreign adversaries. Moving forward they will be a Gov SOE. All non US researchers will be issues green cards effective immediately, if they have family outside the US, they will be moved asap. I'm surprised that hasn't happened But it's the weird whiplash of seriousness and non-seriousness. All of this is all just so unserious. We have summoned the god of destruction who requires a blood sacrifice oh btw Claude Duet is available now.
