Claude will routinely tell me to get some sleep and cuddle with my dog. I may mention the time offhandedly or say I'm winding down, but at least it will include conversation stoppers and decrease engagement.
The Purpose Of a System Is What It Does. Whether it is stated (or even designed) to protect kids, if it does anything more or different from that goal, it will perform those actions regardless of what is said about what the System should be doing.
Real shades of "that cable shouldn't have been dressed like that, in a dark and narrow channel, clearly marked on navigation charts(to mitigate exactly this scenario, from good captains at least)" energy.
I don't care about industry metrics when I'm building my own AI research robotics platform and it's doing what I ask it to do, proving itself in the real world far better than any performative best-practice theatrics in the service of risible MBA-grade effluvia masquerading as critical discourse.
I think 2025 is more productive for me based on measurable metrics such as code contribution to my projects, better ability to ingest and act upon information, and generally I appreciate the Anthropic tax because Claude genuinely has been a step-change improvement in my life.
Instead of casually dismissing the idea, perhaps they considered it and found recharging had its own engineering costs, namely the potential for a swelling battery on your finger, a long life which means you probably would lose a custom charger, and the increased size for the extra requirements.
I did not know that, but I'm basically using this as a bridge to either fully use Linux more than I already do, or switch to windows 12 when it becomes a thing, if it's not worse, so I don't care about very long term support at this time. Plus I get access to a different ecosystem to help keep things fresh in the meantime.
True, and there's also no fitness scorekeeper. Wars are fought and won by having a diverse set of abilities. Physical prowess is one, as is intelligence and social skills (diplomacy keeps fighting from happening). So if reality is that we recognize differences in physique for sport, then we can accommodate these physiological differences in a well-rounded military that is inclusive to all who participate in the common defense of the nation.
In this particular case, because criminals can hack Flock's databases. You can tell whether I'm leaving to go to work, coming home for lunch, figure out my patterns, and schedule a robbery. There are PLENTY of other reasons why I don't appreciate having a camera sitting at the end of my driveway, I wasn't notified about their decision nor had any input so it feels a bit intrusive, but surely you can appreciate that no system is 100% secure and that's why these persistent surveillance gear are so troubling.
I'm basically in the same boat. There is no practical way for me to avoid having my picture taken 6 or more times every single day. I flip the camera off each and every time I drive/walk by it. It's infuriating.
If you fully understand the disbelief, you'd understand why you, being the one advancing the claim, should provide the source(s) you are using for your Bayesian priors so that, assuming those information sources are of sufficient quality, we can also have the benefit of your knowledge. Until then, it is only rational that people reject your claim.
Maybe the smart money shorted on the tank. After all, if you know there's going to be a downturn in a known time period that's a smart move. I believe it's worth analyzing who sold what and when, if not for insider trading, then at least for historical knowledge.
That's not constructive for the purposes of this discussion and has been repeated here at least as long as your account has been active. Importantly, it involves the data security of many Americans and I first found out about this (not) shocking development from this HN post so I'm grateful it was submitted.
Between this(I already opted out but) and their work with Palantir, I definitely am not going to increase my subscription. It is making me reconsider paying, even using, a technology I've found transformative, and I expected(okay hoped) better from Anthropic.
I feel like this level of opprobrium is disproportionate. At least Claude has enabled me to live a more full life, spending extra time with those I love more while being able to rubberducky my random thoughts(who are they to judge what fleeting thoughts I allow myself?). I've been burned by AI falsehoods and read the same slop, sure, but I also went through the same with search engines and even books before that. This tool would have unlocked so much more of my potential had it existed 30 years ago and I'm excited(maybe a lot of dread too) to see what the next 30 years will bring.
It's a hack. Not everything has to have commercial value, not everything has to solve a need, there's no inherent purpose in anything, this is just how I choose to spend my time.
