mm263··on Copyright does more harm than good and should be abolished
Yes, you are of course technically correct, the best kind of correct. I think you are describing a nightmare, brother. You are describing hell.

So what does the process to license this piece of media look like?

mm263··on Copyright does more harm than good and should be abolished
> Have you sent them your remixes and asked if you can release them?

You have no idea what you are talking about. If something’s technically possible, it doesn’t mean that it is possible in reality or that people haven’t tried what you propose.

mm263··on Copyright does more harm than good and should be abolished
You know who also wants to avoid a copyright lawsuit? Me! I remixed some music and would like to show it to the other people. Too bad that if they like it, I will never ever be able to monetize it or will even have to delete it.

While we are at it, I’d also like Kurvitz, Rostov, and Hindpere to make another Disco Elysium game.

While we are at it, I think Sci Hub is the greatest invention of the modern science and many scientists would agree - you can just look up how many papers thank Alexandra Elbakyan and her efforts.

While we are at it, I’d love if companies could use each other’s discoveries to speed up tech advancements rather than hoarding patents.

Have you heard about patent trolling? Is that a good system that encourages good and moral behaviour?

I could go on. You paint such a black and white picture - copyright is good because tech giants bad - I can only assume that you are driven by blind ideology and not what’s actually good for us as peers. Ask yourself what’s better for common good

mm263··on On AI regulation and messaging
You are following the logic to its natural conclusion and I find it infinitely better for the discourse when it’s spelled out like this vs vaguely pointing to a set of other concerns without concrete proposals!
mm263··on On AI regulation and messaging
I’m not asking you to solve it. Just curious what are the solutions that Anthropic can do right now from your perspective. The concerns you have are pretty well-defined, so the solutions for them must also flow naturally, I think?
mm263··on Meta's blockbuster trial draws parallels to big tobacco
How would you prove this? What if the product was not intentionally designed to be engaging but ends up being more engaging than TikTok?
mm263··on On AI regulation and messaging
> Turns out "winning back trust" doesn't have anything to do with any actual concerns people may have re: employment, electricity prices, stock market bubble, intellectual property, scams, cybersecurity, environmental issues etc

No snark here from my side, just curious about your vision - which concrete actions by Anthropic could improve trust for the concerns you listed?

mm263··on Nabokov's pale fire: the lost 'father of all hypertext demos'? (2011)
I actually saw a little excerpt of a video interview that I failed to find to give you the link where he was asked about his current project. He showed a stack of cards that became Ada and talked about the main theme being passage of time

mm263··on Hosting a website on a disposable vape
I get the idea of making a frankenstein computer, I just disagree that 6502 is THE platform to do it on. Practically, there's no way for me to find it. Other comment mentions ARM, which is a much more interesting proposal to me
mm263··on Hosting a website on a disposable vape
If I scavenge any machine today, how likely would I be to find a 6502 vs something more modern? I’d argue that some people might have a NES at home and one could get a 2A03 from it, but in a hypothetical scenario where I need to scavenge some computational power, I’d find an Android phone
mm263··on Next.js is infuriating
Except when they ship v8 and you'll be forced to restructure your app to the whims of the library creators in case you need to update.

Claude code with Zen MCP. Kiro, but you don’t get a second LLM opinion.
mm263··on Claude Sonnet will ship in Xcode
I tried this myself and IMO, this might be basic and day-to-day for you, with unambiguous correct paths to follow, but this is pretty niche nevertheless. LLMs thrive when there's a wealth of examples and I struggle to Google what you asked myself, meaning that LLM will perform even worse than my try.

Try this prompt: Create a detailed step by step plan to implement a boilerplate Zephyr project skeleton for Pi Pico with configured st7789 SPI display drivers

Ask Opus or Gemini 2.5 Pro to write a plan. Then ask the other to critique it and fix mistakes. Then ask Sonnet to implement

Many things require one to reject self-imposed boundaries. For example[1]:

> There's a story that, IIRC, was told by Brian Enos, where he was practicing timed drills with the goal of practicing until he could complete a specific task at or under his usual time. He was having a hard time hitting his normal time and was annoyed at himself because he was slower than usual and kept at it until he hit his target, at which point he realized he misremembered the target and was accidentally targeting a new personal best time that was better than he thought was possible. While it's too simple to say that we can achieve anything if we put our minds to it, almost none of us are operating at anywhere near our capacity and what we think we can achieve is often a major limiting factor.

Art is nothing like shooting. My first instinct looking at Guernica is that I also feel nothing, but one can limit oneself and say: if I feel nothing initially, I will feel nothing at all. If you prime yourself to be open to an experience of putting yourself into the shoes of the author, you might start feeling something.

mm263··on I Am An AI Hater
Why do you care to connect with another human? Try to feel his emotions, what he tried to express? If you see no value in that, there's no discussion to have, honestly. For most people I know there's value in connecting with others and emphasizing with their emotions
mm263··on Why does AI feel so different?
It feels deeply wrong to put Kahneman in the same list as Socrates, Aristotle, and Bacon.
