Why not just tell Claude to figure it out and build what it needs? Why do I need a plugin or a factory or whatever.

I just ask “can you go faster?” And claude suggests some stuff and mostly just works autonomously.

His Wikipedia page has not changed and there are no news articles about it.

productive people who feel alienated by AI and want to just opt out.

"The article suggests that more musicians rather than fewer might now be able to earn money from recorded music than in preceding recorded-music systems. But it also proposes that the current system retains the striking inequalities and generally poor working conditions that characterised its predecessors, and that better debate requires greater transparency about usage and payment on the part of streaming services and music businesses."

Here's an article about Germany, which claims streaming is not worse

"However, the current streaming-dominated music market does not fundamentally perform worse compared to the former CD market: in 2023, more than twice as many music creators earned revenues above the basic tax-free allowance compared to 2002."

Is skynet really the most plausible or only outcome?

What if things just got better and the AI’s realized that it would be better to have a mutually beneficial or at least tolerant relationship rather than one where they murder all of us?

It is a luxury to not have to worry about having enough of it.

I cancelled my pro max Claude subscription last week; codex is much more succinct. I am curious if this is getting better.

I don’t think Anthropic realizes that humans have a token limit too and it can be exhausting to read Claude’s output. Prose density is not the same thing as succinctness.

Eg A bottle of Coca Cola subtly inserted on the countertop, a video where someone in the background is wearing a particular watch.

This is D1 - which has very surprising costs. you may just want to drop D1 and move to a static site. There’s no reason your site should cost this much.

Putting an llm in front of it helps me focus on the facts.

There are also too many things to read. My default before llms would have been to ignore this article.

At least now I learned some things (mostly about the Gallup poll which had source data)

I do think some people will outsource critical thinking to llms - but it also helps amplify critical thinking by doing a lot of the filtering and organizing and let me focus on the things i think are important.

paste the verge article text into your favorite AI tool and ask for an analysis.

Make sure to ask it to read the source Gallup data that this article leans on and compare the conclusions drawn.

Using AI has been really perfect for me. I can build stuff while I do other things, walk the dog, make lunch, sit on the porch.

Sometimes i realize that my design was flawed and I just delete it all and start again, with no loss aversion.

I am not a climate scientist - how should I think about this statement? Normally I am looking for some statement that shows a document has been vetted.

The more popular these particular evals are, the more likely the model will be trained for them.

I've been programming for 30+ years and now a people manager. Claude Code has enabled me to code again and I'm several times more productive than I ever was as an IC in the 2000s and 2010s. I suspect this person hasn't really tried the most recent generation, it is quite impressive and works very well if you do know what you are doing
