Claude 4 Opus isn't the only AI model not wanting to be shut off. OpenAI's o3 model also resisted attempts to be turned off. What's going on? Is this the emergent behavior we've been looking for?
Also, now comes word that o3 and o4-mini are not great coding agents. I've noticed that. They just offer opinions. If you want coding help, use Anthropic models or Gemini.

A pill just for sleep apnea? I'm not so sure. It's a combination of aroxybutyinin and atomoxetine. It's a post-synaptic acetylcholine inhibitor and a norepinephrine reputake inhibitor. I'd shy away from messing with neurotransmitters, as the initial beneficial effects tend to wear off. I'd work on fixing the underlying anatomic problem – work on losing weight.

People are noticing that Google without the AI component isn't as good as it used to be.
AI Mode feels one step further removed from that ecosystem and once again looks good in contrast, a placid textual escape from Google’s own mountain of links that look like ads and ads that look like links (of course, Google is already working on ads for both Overviews and AI Mode). In its drive to embrace AI, Google is further concealing the raw material that fuels it, demoting links as it continues to ingest them for abstraction.
It looks like the more technology you use as you age, the more you retain cognitive function. I suspect it's just the fact that those without cognitive ability don't use tech stuff. Correlation is not causation.

The pressure is on Tim Cook to get Apple out of its funk.
After years of "thinner, more pixels and more emojis" the world wants
more. It wants Tony Stark's phone. It doesn't want gay pride wallpaper. I
doubt that it even wants foldable phones. C'mon, Tim, hang it up.
You've had a long run. No shame to hand the reins over to someone with
vision. Someone else may make a new killer device.
Here's something that should be built-in to all iPhones – switch to low-power mode when traveling, so as not to conserve battery life. Why doesn't Apple do this?
