My plugin website is officially live. As of now, the plugins are in Windows VST3 format only, but I do hope to get Audio Unit conversions accomplished ASAP. But all versions are useable in HTML.

THIS IS AN ACTUAL F*CKING GOLDMINE
Anthropic just shared one of the best tricks for Claude Code.
The idea: run Sonnet, Haiku 5.5 and Opus 5.5 at once, each one doing only the job it's best at.
Better results and way fewer tokens, because every task lands on the right model.
You just launch Claude Code like this:
claude --model sonnet --advisor opus
here's the split:
→ Sonnet 5.5 runs the session, writes the code and applies the fixes
→ Haiku 5.5 swarms the repo in parallel: search, grep and diff audits
→ Opus 5.5 stays on call as advisor for the big calls and signs off on the diff
→ you stop burning Opus context on work that doesn't need it
Opus only steps in at three moments:
→ before a plan locks
→ when the same error shows up twice
→ before calling it done
Sonnet builds. Haiku swarms. Opus reviews.
JEV engineering is the same move one layer down: the forks that need no thinker (which file, which tool, retry or stop) go to JEV in milliseconds, and the big models only see the ones that split
the full tree
> Sonnet 5.5 runs the main session and coordinates the work
> search maps the repo on Haiku 5.5, read-only
> grep finds call sites on Haiku 5.5 in its own context
> audit checks the diff on Haiku 5.5 in a throwaway worktree
> Opus 5.5 on call as advisor, reviews the synthesized diff before sign-off
> JEV routes micro-forks in milliseconds
paste the tree and this prompt into Claude Code ↓
"Reconfigure my Claude Code setup around this tree:
1. Run the main session on Sonnet 5.5 with Opus 5.5 as advisor.
2. Create three Haiku 5.5 subagents in .claude/agents: search (maps the repo), grep (finds call sites), audit (checks the diff).
3. Set isolation: worktree on audit so its checks never touch my working branch.
4. Add one rule to CLAUDE.md: delegate every repo search and test run to the Haiku 5.5 subagents to keep the main context small.
5. Route fast deterministic forks (tool choice, path selection, retries) through JEV.
Show me every change as a diff first. No edits until I say go."

ChatGPT has now a big problem.
Researchers at Oxford exposed a massive threat to large language models.”
It’s called "Model Collapse."
And it explains why the internet is about to become a toxic waste dump for Large Language Models.
Right now, AI companies are scraping the entire web to train their next-generation models.
But there’s a massive problem.
The internet is no longer just human data. It is rapidly filling up with AI-generated text, images, and code.
What happens when an AI trains on data generated by another AI?
A new paper in Nature just gave us the answer. And it is terrifying.
When AI models are recursively trained on AI-generated data, they suffer from irreversible brain damage.
The researchers found that the model starts forgetting the "tails" of the original data distribution. The rare, weird, unique, and complex human nuances completely disappear.
It's like making a photocopy of a photocopy.
Every generation loses resolution. The output gets flatter, blander, and more generic, until the model completely collapses in on itself.
For years, we thought the biggest bottleneck for AI was compute, getting enough H100 GPUs from Nvidia.
This paper proves the real bottleneck is us.
If we keep flooding the internet with synthetic AI slop, we will poison the very data pool required to build smarter models.
The ultimate irony? We thought AI was going to make human creators obsolete.
Instead, this research proves that verified, genuine human data is about to become the most valuable commodity in the tech industry.

Odd observation... With the death of Tom Skerritt, all the male actors in "Alien (1979)" are deceased. 😢

BREAKING: TOTAL DISGRACE! Donald Trump embarrasses the U.S. on the world stage by refusing to turn on his camera during a Zoom call with the leaders of the G7.
We'll give you one guess why...
In a moment straight out of a bad political satire, Trump hopped on a call with leaders including Canada's Mark Carney and France's Emmanuel Macron — and then failed to actually show his face. It's the kind of thing that a lazy employee might do to avoid getting dressed after sleeping in following a night of heavy drinking.
Or, more likely, it was because Trump was tired and he planned on falling asleep during the call like he has during countless other high-stakes meetings. With his camera off, he could conceivably snooze in peace without the others noticing. Dementia is a physically taxing condition after all.
According to Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, the Zoom meeting was to discuss the global energy market (which has been dramatically destabilized by Trump's Iran War and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz). Specifically, they addressed the "severe pressures" on diesel supplies which, again, is a consequence of Trump's disastrous war.
Present on the call were the leaders of Canada, the European Commission, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and (possibly) the United States.
The image of Trump's camera turned off was shared by Birol, and it's unclear if he kept it off for the entire call but even a brief failure to show his face is a sign of disrespect, deeply unprofessional, and just the latest indignity that this buffoon has heaped on our closest allies.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Trump is the worst President that we've ever had!
