Claude is only sycophantic until the bill comes.
I was thinking about Turing's audio debugger and it made me wonder if anyone's applied that in a modern debugger. Either audio pulses or, more practical, a small sparkgraph-style indicator showing breakpoints hits over time. Disabled breakpoint "hits" would be neat to visualize, and would give them some utility.
In video calls, nobody will know if you turn them into chipmunks by raising audio output by an octave or two. (using EasyEffects, etc)
BEEP BOOP. Trepidation about Claude Code melts away after telling it "make robot noises when you make a mistake". BZZT!
Relatedly, a War On AI is likely to be about as effective as a War On Drugs.
AI codegen cheapens the act of making sweeping changes to a codebase. Such changes make AI-less maintenance more dififcult, increasing the dependance on AI. In addition to users, I can see a _codebase_ getting "addicted" to AI codegen. The more it's used, the harder it is to cut back or stop.
The long running HOPE hacking conference just got banned from its current venue because someone told the university the conference had an “anti-police agenda.” Based it seems on a single pamphlet?

"The lack of due process on its own is extremely disturbing," the conference said.
