   It's not copying (and hence not stealing) if you destroy the original book. That is where copyright law has brought us

   I hated em dashes before it was cool. Pretentious and pointless. I use parentheses, semi colons, commas, and shorter sentences.

   I think a signature Claude style of writing is good since it makes it that much harder to pass off Claude written text as human.

   Many of the most valuable paintings in the world are out of copyright. It has not diminished their value, because people still value originality even if it's not enforced by the law. > And worse than them being recognized, they migh

   Okay I know this is gonna sound rude but who in the world would want form controls that behave this way?

   Neat. I work in life science. Will the classifiers actually allow me to use it?

    I rather doubt the folks at Berkshire are sitting on their thumbs or playing golf all day and just forgot to buy anything. It's a measure of discipline, they won't invest in something without a good margin of safety. They'd r

    Also if they do subsidize it it should be in the form of public goods (libraries, publicly available research). There's some overlap there with loans to individuals but it's weak.

    I pay that much and don't even use Fable because everything I do involves biology

    Maybe people read it as an endorsement rather than an observation. No biggy, just Internet points. Though you have apparently rescued me from -2 to +5 so thank you.

    Not really. It's easy "content"for them and adds a veneer of quantitative rigor to what would otherwise be pure vibes.

    I suspect a lot of this is resume driven design.

    I've always instructed Claude to check the policies first, frankly I'm surprised it's not smart enough to do that already. Would be easy to add to a system prompt. But usually it doesn't matter because many projects have

    I could barely use Fable before (I work in life science) and now they're adding more restrictions? Well good thing Opus is solid

    The original announcement page mentioned this. It was very obvious. That's why so many people noticed it immediately, because it was announced.

    I'd love if they would include speed (though I know there are difficulties involved). At this point the quality of Opus 4.8 is no longer my limiting factor, it's the speed, so a faster model would be great.

    This isn't a problem which needs to be solved perfectly, at least in this context. If some electronic music creators (using 2015 level technology) get reduced play and some fully AI music gets through the filters it's really fine.

    Opus doesn't do that (at least it never has to me). I'm pretty sure codex doesn't either. It's just Fable

    Current models are smart enough for me and don't present an existence risk. Good time to show down. Maybe make the models faster and cheaper while preserving performance.

    People are allowed to destroy their own property. And anyway if you don't like this state of affairs blame the copyright holders and copyright law
