The 4.5 models were the last Anthropic models that were actually pleasant to read. Especially Sonnet 4.5 was really fun to use for non-coding purposes. I liked having it generate silly short stories while waiting for deployments to finish.

As a Dutch person i find Afrikaans always interesting whenever i happen to encounter it in the wild. As if a common ancestor took a very different evolutionary path.

I don’t disagree, but unfortunately a not insignificant part of humanity seems to think that their happiness primarily depends on knowing that other people are suffering harder than they are. So that’s perhaps not the right thing to optimis

Plenty of male-led businesses also turned out to be scams, and yet no one goes 'that guy looks sharp, but he is male so seems suspicious'. Which only proofs how deep sexism is rooted.

Knowledgable people can confirm what the AI produces is correct. I could make ChatGPT produce a result on an open question and I would have zero way to verify its actual correctness. Which is less interesting work. And you probably need to

It’s not apathy. It’s the fact that almost nobody can really understand what these results mean. I’m not a mathematician so I have zero clue what “ New upper bounds on sphere-packing density down to the Cohn–Elkies thresholds” means.

Well guess I have committed many crimes against humanity because I’ve definitely dumped many cheap paperbacks I bought for holiday reading into the paper recycling container.

My product owner does the same. Every ticket she makes is multiple paragraphs now. It drives me up the wall, especially as some tickets are so simple I need two clear lines to know what I need to do. But no, I get 15 lines written by Claude

Reading your comment I had to think of that tweet about someone taking a part of a Monet painting and claimed it was AI generated, and people immediately started calling it horrible and soulless and smelling like AI.

And yet most reviewers praise it. So either they are all wrong, or you move in very snobbish circles. Because 'an embarrassment' is extremely strong language that should be reserved for very bad movies and im quite sure this isn&#

As always, capitalism can be counted on to destroy anything it touches.

I prefer a model that is milquetoast liberal over one made by Elon 'Mechahitler' Musk.

Well yeah rightwing people are not the kind of people to take up psychology. I also don’t think you will find many Marxists in corporate law .

America has to be careful not to push Europe into the direction of China though. And with how Trump acts that might happen sooner than they would like. Bullying like how Trump prefers to do only works until some point. Europe mostly seems t

Japanese language learning environments really are ridiculously hostile and I've stopped engaging with them unless im searching for a specific resource. I've dabbled a bit in Mandarin and while eventually i ended up liking Japanes

While i dislike Google and Chrome as much as the next person, this is yet another reason to dump Windows for Linux.

I hope you still feel you arent losing when your job is gone and thus your income and woops there goes your home because you cant afford your rent/mortgage anymore.

Eventually that king will demand more and more. Humans are just fundamentally incapable of wielding that much wealth and thus power. And the pattern repeats again and again and again: billionaires actively lobby to destroy the livelihoods o

> I wish wealth wasn't treated so abstractly as if it's some kind of universal measure of evil. Wealth equals influence. So yes, it kinda is a measure of evil. It goes so far as Musk turning of Starlink at a critical moment to

> It's called utopia. Its not. We already see this on social media: creating pictures and clips has become basically effortless and the result isnt utopia, its a massive steaming pile of worthless shit.

They were not opposing automation. They were opposing loss of jobs, wages, dignity in work and all that. And they turned out to be completely right. AI is just the next attack from capitalism in a long line of attacks aimed at workers. And

University rankings have pretty much nothing to do with how well they teach students, only their research output. And good researchers aren’t automatically good teachers ( and vice versa).

The liberal idea that the best ideas win out in the marketplace turned out to be laughably wrong.

There are still small pockets with actual humans to be found. The small web exists. Some forums keep on going, im still shitposting on Something Awful after twenty years and it’s still quite active. Bluesky has its faults but it also has fo

Maybe he used to be one, who knows. But I doubt he read a book or seen a movie in the past few decades. He got roasted by Joyce Carol Oates on X recently for being an oaf and he immediately started replying to tweets about acclaimed movies.

Yeah, this is also a huge part of it. Society has made it incredibly dangerous for any man to be around children, because a single allegation is enough to destroy a life.

Too many lonely men seem to think that women can and should fix all their problems. That if only they had a relationship all their shit would be over. While the first step should be to join a hobby club or do some volunteer work or find a s
