Goodbye liberal media. It was… something while it lasted.

Even so, it’ll take months for the Department of War to replace Anthropic. Everything about our government’s use of AI is a shitshow.

Why not link the actual company’s statement:

The death of liberal media.

I wish I could as well. I’d be out of here in a heartbeat. I’m already single, live alone, work remotely in the tech sector. It would be nothing for me to pick up and leave. It’s just not that easy to be able to move to a different country.

And take even longer to launch than it already does. No thanks. A text editor should be a simple text editor. If I wanted anything more complex, I’d use LaTeX.

Personally, I restore the classic Paint, Notepad and Snipping Tool from Windows 10 on my Windows 11 machines because they launch instantly and don’t have AI slop baked into them. You can uninstall the “new” versions of these apps that come with Windows 11 or leave them and have both. I personally uninstall them.

I even set up these “classic” apps to be my defaults where the “new” versions were before. Everything works perfectly.

For those interested, I wrote a guide on how to do this manually yourself: https://pastebin.com/1WAs38AP

I crave Giardiniera all the damn time. At night I eat a bunch of it with a couple of beers, but I think about eating it all day long.

Just got my letter in the mail from Conduent today. FML. I might as well just post this shit on Facebook at this point.
