Don't do business with "noreply" email addresses. The least they could do is have a LLM read your email. No-reply email addresses are contempt, pure and simple. @Google "customer service" @GoogleAI.

In the poorly factored, unmaintainable python code that @AnthropicAI Claude 4 generates, one can see the footprints of generations of poorly trained code-monkeys. Still way better than writing the code oneself.

"Unfortunately, I don't have access to tools that can directly file bug reports to Microsoft's VS Code repository or feedback systems." - not just unfortunate, a tremendous lost opportunity @Microsoft @msdev.

Hey @google maps - "head west" is useless. Humans don't have built in compasses.

It's remarkable how small a fraction of science fiction envisaged our having widely available, widely used AI. It's noticeably absent in The Expanse, for example.
