When Pro is not quite Pro—farewell, Claude in Antigravity!
I might seem unreasonable to castigate Google’s new policies towards Pro plans obtained via bundled promotions or “partner benefits,” but even if such plans were unfair to the majority of…
Someone is using Claude to kill software development
A couple of days ago, I nearly fell off my chair when I read Joey Sneddon’s report. Then, Futurism mentioned the news. I expected global hysteria, yet no such thing…
Claude Haiku 5.5: a diligent, dumb workhorse?
As people who follow my blog might know, I fell out of love with Claude at some point, despite it being one of my favorite chatbots for a long time.…
Hugh Howey’s NEO: vibecoding, what else?
Hugh Howey is the author of the Silo Saga (Wool, Shift, and Dust), the science fiction series Silo (Apple TV) is based on. Not such a huge author until Apple…
Gemini is increasingly bad, but ChatGPT surprised me
Using LLMs is as unpredictable as the weather. One day a model seems decent; the next day its next version (or even the same version!) disappoints completely. I keep giving…
Rughiniș nu crede în apocalipsa AI
Spre deosebire de ramolitul de Geoffrey Hinton și de traumatizatul de Jacob Coxon, Răzvan Rughiniș tot nu crede în apocalipsa AI. L-am mai menționat pe excentricul nostru profesor de la…
AI and Linux: a bit of ranting
From the hundreds of URLs visited per week, here are a bunch of comments based on a very short selection of news from the last 3 weeks. I am unhappy…

The umpteenth AI compromise
I can't even remember how many times I changed my choice of chatbots in everyday use. Every time one chatbot angered me, I wanted to replace it, but each chatbot…
Did Gemini Pro really get that worse? 4 threads to test it!
I just had 3 conversations with Gemini Pro Extended Thinking. It all started from my refusal to watch two videos about Claude skills, but the first thread evolved into covering…
Chatbots are increasingly useless ● Searching for a watch
I don’t use chatbots to write either texts or code for me. For code, Gemini CLI wasn’t bad when I used it, and Qwen Code was very decent, too, but…
What if I boycotted all Chinese LLMs? ● Ludditus investigates!
This idea might come as a shock to those who noticed that I was quite a heavy user of Kimi lately. I mostly used it for answers that involved distilling…
Who isn’t on the Big Bad Web?
I’m not a huge fan of Kagi's products and services. Their web search is not free. Kagi Translate seems to be temporarily free, and it usually performs great translations, except…
Zooming out (not zoning out!) on some Linux & IT idiocies
① Someone felt contemplative... I was looking for a review of Argent Linux and I noticed this ad hoc philosophy at the end of a review of it in DistroWatch…
The golden age of free LLM chatbots might soon end + BONUS
I'm trying to collect my thoughts on the current situation regarding the public availability of LLMs. This post comes as a quick follow-up to “Free AI coding agents are becoming…
Free AI coding agents are becoming scarce

Agentic AI 101 with Tina Huang
While I abhor OpenClaw for reasons I won’t list here, there are some advantages of it over more traditional agentic AI workflows. To oversimplify, let’s say it’s a shift from…
The Claude Apocalypse has been averted—Dario Amodei is a nice guy, just like Donald Trump
Oh my, that was a close call! Thankfully, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing: Today we’re announcing Project Glasswing, a new initiative that brings together Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco,…
What I didn’t know about TypeScript’s toolchain
It all started from this “Devin got fired” thing: Cool, OK, but… wait, a comment is a comment, right? Well, it is, and it also isn’t, just like Schrödinger’s cat.…
