I'm OK being left behind, thanks 4 months ago

I've been playing with it on weekends for the last few months. 9 out of 10 projects, it's failed.

Projects as simple as "set up a tmux/vim binding so I can write prompts in one pane and run claude in the other". Fails.

I've been coding for over 20 years.

If there is no learning curve, why doesn't it work for me? You can't say I'm not using it right, because if that was true, then all I need to do is climb the learning curve to fix that, the curve that you say doesn't exist.

In our modern digital age it's difficult to imagine anything going live to the nation, and then disappearing.

The Epstein files would like a chat with you.

As would "flood the zone".

Tech companies shouldn't be bullied into doing surveillance 5 months ago

yeah, but the question I'd be asking myself is,

Hey, so what you are saying is that unless we use the AI that we control, to take control of the mass surveillance and autonomous drone strike systems, you will force us to take control of these systems?

I mean, did H just Open Clawed the entire US military?

And what I'm wondering is why SecDev H thinks that forcing Anthropic to integrate their AI with the country's mass surveillance and autonomous drone strike technology is a winning move for him.

"Ok, if you don't do what I tell you then you HAVE to connect the autonomous AI engine that only you understand and control, I repeat you HAVE to connect your golem to my control systems."

Like a bank robber threatening to hand the gun to the teller if they don't put the money in the bag.

Like SecDev H "open claw"-ing the entire US military.

Large-Scale Online Deanonymization with LLMs 5 months ago

well, how about "abortion legal" to "abortion murder"... possible to see this coming, but I know doctors in NY who are now afraid to travel to Texas.

How about DEI initiatives as good things in 2024 and a mark of evil in 2025? Lots of people were fired because in 2024 their boss told them to work on DEI and they did what their boss told them to do. Turns out this was a capital offense.

yes, if only we had a more fine-grained log level hierarchy that we could get every piece of software to agree to...

Anthropic drops flagship safety pledge 5 months ago

Agree with you on facts. Yes, the US government publicly threatened to nationalize their business.

However, Anthropic's business consists mostly of intellectual property-- which is highly mobile. What if Anthropic were to go to Marcron (France) for example or Carney (Canada) or Xi Jinping even and say "You give us work visas and support, we move to your land"?

Hell, isn't Canada (specifically Toronto) the birthplace of deep learning? Why stay in a hostile environment when the land of your birth is welcoming?
