I would look at how podman for Mac manages this; it is more transparent about what's happening and why it needs a VM. It also lets you control more about how the VM is executed.

Everyone close to Anthropic leadership has claimed they’re the real deal and it’s not a stunt. I don’t think it’s bull. They are trying to find a reasonable middle ground and settled on some red lines they won’t cross.

You believe the "reasonable middle ground" is using their models to kill people and spy on citizens?

That’s disappointing. My primary launcher on my eink devices since it works so well on them.


What devices are those? A phone with eink?


In my case, Mudita Kompakt phone and Boox Go tablet for reading textbooks. Mudita has the stock launcher, Boox is full of bloatware and I installed Niagara


There are many android devices with eink screens. Mostly Chinese brands. BOOX, Hisense, etc. some phones. Some ereaders.


What would you use instead?

I built an internal CI chat bot with it like 6 months ago when I was learning. It’s deployed and doing what everyone needs it to do.

Claude Code can do most of what it does without needing anything special. I think that’s the future but I hate the vendor lock in Anthropic is pushing with CC.

All my python tools could be skills, and some folks are doing that now but I don’t need to chase after every shiny thing — otherwise I’d never stop rewriting the damn thing.

Especially since there’s no standardizing yet on plugins/skills/commands/hooks yet.


> I hate the vendor lock in Anthropic is pushing with CC.

Accepting any kind of vendor lock in within this space at the moment is an incredibly bad idea. Who knows what will get released next week, let alone the next year. Anthropic might be dead in the water in six months. It's unlikely but not impossible. Expand that to a couple of years and it's not even that unlikely.


I like Anthropic’s plugin system. I wish everyone would standardize on it instead of everyone having a billion different ways to do slash commmands, skills, etc.


Anthropic wants to ditch MCP and not be on the hook for it in the future -- but lots of enterprises haven't realized its a dumb, vibe coded standard that is missing so much. They need to hand the hot potato off to someone else.


Even Anthropic walked back on it recently wihh the programmatic tool calling


They haven't really. One of their latest blog posts is about how to retrofit the "skills" approach to MCP[0], which makes sense, as the "skills" approach doesn't itself come with solutions for dynamic tool discovery/registration.

You proved my point

I love this


Gemini, grok, etc all have 100x better experiences with voice. Apple is bad at this.

I’m an hour from Cambridge, MA. Ask the weather? I always get Cambridge, UK. Siri is terrible.

They can’t even make a functional keyboard anymore. The text prediction and autocorrect is worse now than it was in 2010!

These are all solved problems in 2025.


They haven't really updated Siri though? That's still in the pipeline. So not a very fair comparison. The article states that they are behind and I think everyone knows that


They have though, they added the "ask ChatGPT" thing which is friggin useless


Why would it not assume you meant the best Cambridge?


I'm pretty sure Jim had aspirations of being IBM CEO but they picked Arvind instead.


exactly. standard move when you aren't going to get a second shot.


It baffles me that we've spent decades building great abstractions to isolate processes with containers and VM's, and we've mostly thrown it out the window with all these AI tools like Cursor, Antigravity, and Claude Code -- at least in their default configurations.


Exfiltrating other people's code is the entire reason why "agentic AI" even exists as a business.

It's this decade's version of "they trust me, dumb fucks".


Plus arbitrary layers of government censorship, plus arbitrary layers of corporate censorship.

Plus anything that is not just pure "generating code" now adds a permanent external dependency that can change or go down at any time.

I sure hope people are just using cloud models in hopes they are improving open source models tangentially? Thats what is happening right?
