For a company selling intelligence, that's a pretty stupid way of labelling a new product.

- riffraff 2y ago"computer use" is also as bad a marketing choice as possible for something that actually seems pretty cool.
- swyx 2y agoit makes sense in contrast to "tool use". basically, either fly-by-vision or fly-by-instruments, same dilemma you have in self driving cars
- ok_dad 2y agoIt’s simple and easy to understand what it is, that’s good marketing to my ears.
- accrual 2y agoI'm not sure what a better term is. It's kind of understated to me. An AI that can "use a computer" is a simple straightforward sentence but with wild implications.

- pglevy 2y agoI had no idea what the headline meant before reading the article. I wasn't even sure how to pronounce "use." (Maybe a typo?) I think something like "Claude adds Keyboard & Mouse Control" would be clearer.
- barrell 2y agoI read the headline 5-10 times trying to make sense of it before even clicking on the link. Native English speaker, just used the other “use” many times
- dartos 2y agoIt worked for Nintendo. The 3ds and “new 3ds” were both big sellers.
- Zambyte 2y ago3ds doesn't have a version number to bump. Claude 3.5 does.
- r00fus 2y agoYou can always add a version number (e.g. 3DS2) or a changed moniker (3DS+).
- cooper_ganglia 2y agoI hear the Nintendo 4DS was very popular with the higher dimensional beings!

- dartos 2y agoThe 3 was the version number ;) Ds and ds lite were version 1 Dsi was 2 (as there was dsi software that didn’t run on ds or ds lite) And the 3ds was version 3.
- dragonwriter 2y agoEvery major AI vendor seems to do it with hosted models; within "named" major versions of hosted models, there are also "dated" minor versions. OpenAI does it. Google does it (although for Google Gemini models, the dated instead of numbered minor versions seem to be only for experimental versions like gemini-1.5-pro-exp-0827, stabled minor versions get additional numbers like gemini-1.5-pro-002.)
- quantadev 2y agoSpeaking of "intelligence", isn't it ironic how everyone's only two words they use to describe AI is "crazy" and "insane". Every other post on Twitter is like: This new feature is insane! This new model is crazy! People have gotten addicted to those words almost as badly as their other new addiction: the word "banger".
- fragmede 2y agoWell yeah. This new model is mentally unwell! and This model is a total sociopath! didn't test as well in focus groups.
