Re:Anthropic orders AI tool Claude to stop remaking video games on Saturday October 31, 2026 @05:08PM (#50320258)
I'd be interested to hear an opinion from Anthropic on this; there are two angles: why would they make content-related decisions going beyond any lawful use, and second, wouldn't this specific issue be antithetical to how LLMs work? Training frontier models was effectively the single largest instance of piracy in human history. I'm not passing judgement on whether that is good or bad, just calling it what it is, and saying that re-creations are objectively less controversial than that.

How would you compare Trump with Commodus? edit: I am asking this question in earnest, not to start a flame war.

I don't buy the "abacus vs calculator" argument on this topic that many folks make. There are fundamental skills in critical thinking one learns through doing things AI can automate through human energy rather than datacenter electricity. Those skills are more complex than what a graphing calculator automated years ago for students, on the basis that the graphing calculator did not automate critical thinking. AI can and often does replace that critical thinking (not saying it is of equal value), paired with praise for the human in the loop to reaffirm believability.

He quite literally did, and that's great.

The valuation can also be not great, for reasons covered in the article, at the same time.

Please refer to the HN guidelines. We can have productive discussions with mutual disagreement, without unfounded attacks against the source.

I would argue that the student behavior - ~30% admitting to cheating on academic work - reflects the value system shown by those holding positions/stature the students aspire to.

It is a combination of FOMO (everyone else is doing it, I must also to not fall behind) similar to that which drives hype adoption, combined with a perception that moral behavior grows optional in proportion with wealth or power. The latter is empirically evident in how American society has addressed moral failures of wealthy/powerful leaders (i.e. crimes without punishment)
