  Well, all that leisure time, and no spare money to buy anything with! Should be interesting.

  >People throughout the AI industry are calling the release of GPT-5.3 Codex and Claude Opus 4.6 (as well as Claude Code and Cowork) as harbingers of a massive shift

  "This is the best and most secure version of Windows yet!" -Microsoft, on every release.

  I'm tired of the hype. AI is what it is:

  "60% of the Time, It Works Every Time"

    A massive shift that will put half of workers out of the job, but apparently undeserving of a major version number heh

  Still not understanding the optimism. The Epstein files also reveal a large amount of the power held by the AI capitalists are morally bankrupt. Why on Earth would we expect this to pan out in any way that benefits normal people?
