I watched a late night screening of Beauty Water (2020) years ago with a whole cinema to myself and then got lost in the mall because it had already closed for the night.

I think it was fairly scary if you can find a copy

A screenshot of some text which reads:

Ask Codex to clone it, drop your memories into the Codex App, and prompt the following:

"Update chocolates.json with these assets and personalize the chocolate box."

And within minutes, you've got a sweet gift to send to your loved ones.

I've found myself browsing Linkedin posts by OpenAI and I came across one from Valentines Day

It's from a Solutions Engineer who says she forgot about Valentines Day, found everything was booked out so she vibecoded a digital box of chocolates instead

Whoever said romance is dead?

AI company Anthropic expands to NZ and Australia The US company is in the midst of suing the US government over its retaliation for a dispute about safeguards in its AI technology.

Anthropic are opening a Sydney office later this year and are looking to hire a public policy expert

I happen to know that OpenAI have just completed hiring for their own public policy expert in APAC as well

Now the two blog posts about the incident have been removed too so I guess we're just going to pretend none of this ever happened.

Sometimes people visit our office and nod at the screens so I stuck this fake dashboard I made onto a TV

This seems to be the actual person given their Github has computer science course material for the same university that they previously lectured at.

I'm all for testimonials of things you find useful but this is just kind of a weird way to provide it

I've mentioned it before but the issues tab for Claude Code is a fascinating bit of people-watching.

Here's a fresh Github issue, seemingly filed by Academy and Emmy Award winner Perry Kivolowitz, where every field in the bug report is a testimonial for Claude

The author of the review pointed out that the utm_source tracking param is set to "openai" on the review link

The robots.txt for their blog explicitly disallows various OpenAI crawlers at present and probably has since before the feature launched

I wonder if there's a way to have info de-indexed

Yeah, that is true. Even with holidays, 5 days of maintenance is a pretty wild thought for the private tech sector πŸ˜„

Planned maintenance Some of our online services will be down for planned maintenance, starting Thursday 2 April. Normal services will be back again on Tuesday 7 April.

Apparently ACC are taking down their online services for maintenance from April 2nd - 7th (5 whole days!)

If you click the "Provider" button, it states that Practice Management Systems won't be able to "search ACC client claim history, status, or invoice information"
