I had created my own chat tool that can render html responses directly in the chat interface, if needed. It is very handy for when I am needing rich(er) responses dealing for mathematical expressions. But it burns more tokens. It is useful, but I don’t need it for coding.

Ask yourself what monks did when scribes were replaced by the printing press.

If I was a scribe at the time I’d be thrilled because of all that extra time available to work on beer productivity metrics.

About 20 years ago I maintained a shop floor control client/server application. I asked my manager why we didn't have any independent Q/A. He said we didn't need any testers because we have 500 in the building.

Wild west days then.

Looks like we are back.

Ugh, memories. I'm so old my first web browser was Mosaic and I think I saw this. I used a provider called Texas MetroNet that served up dial-up PPP connections for $45 a month on a speedy 28.8K baud modem. Days of wonder, I tell ya.

New days of wonder seem to be ahead, though. That said, there's about 100X more angst involved these days.

On a related note, when the sales and popularity of the automobile really started to take off, some farmers and rural residents would deliberately block roads with wagons and refused to yield right-of-way.

Per Anthropic’s RCA linked in Ops post for September 2025 issues:

“… To state it plainly: We never reduce model quality due to demand, time of day, or server load. …”

So according to Anthropic they are not tweaking quality setting due to demand.

Ask this question in the 1940s and they would tell you it’s math. We are making machines that do math to kill Nazis. Now take this vacuum tube and plug it in over there and then go get me a cigarette.

Three words to solve this problem: direct mail marketing.

Just kidding, that just goes into my RL trash can.

It is like SQL injection. Probably worse. If you are using unsupervised data for context that ultimately generates executable code you will have this security problem. Duh.
