Hitting Claude usage limits sorta feels like getting kicked off AOL as a kid.

This is such a frightening prospect. But at the same time, generated text has been directly optimizable in theory (based on metrics) and we’re not *totally* drowning in slop.

I have not been monitoring the situation at *all*. What is a good place to start for people who are new to situations?

I wonder if the danger with people relying on AI for personal problems isn’t that they’re sycophantic or randomly tell you unconstructive things but that people shouldn’t have *that* much therapy. Like there should be a bit more friction.

Novel hardware design choices aside, I feel like more robots should be wearing straw-boaters.
