I also like: > Nothing leaves your phone and there is no account. This is good to know, but it's the exact type of thing Claude is obsessed with putting everywhere once you tell it NOT to do something. For example, if I tell it to c

I love how even all the copy on the site is clearly AI generated. We're starting to completely lose even our ability to write a single paragraph of descriptive text.

This is incredibly adjacent to the rationalist sphere, which has been trying to reinvent religion from first principles for at least a decade now.

Same. I've scrubbed my presence as much as possible from the majority of the internet (except HN for whatever reason) to prevent future models from being trained on my output, but the damage is already done. Part of me exists in pretty

And the cruel irony is that they stole our work to train the AI that devalues our work going forward, and will cause many of us to lose our jobs. I regret every line of open source code I ever wrote.

This was an incredible video, and I feel so many complex emotions after watching it. I wonder where everyone in that video is now. Sounds like there's some controversy about this video though. There was some accusations that it was sta

Hopefully their advice includes: "take this advice, and then don't join the Jehovah's Witnesses. It's a high control abusive religion that will make your depression worse".

I often feel like this as well. It's hard to talk about it with people, because they panic and immediately start sending you literature about suicidality and giving you hotlines, etc, etc, as if I haven't already seen all of that

Yes! Claude was so pleasant to use at first. It was Anthropic's biggest advantage. And now it's like nails on a chalkboard.

> More work to be done (and we will!) but reading better prose makes me so much happier. I assume this work will be done for Opus as well? Opus has seemingly gotten progressively worse at its prose and technical writing with each version

Or Auvelity, which is a newer one that mixes Bupropion and DXM.

I am a type 1 diabetic and this is not true, and an incredible oversimplification. And categorizing "very low carb" as "good" and "very high carb" as "bad" is bizarre and untrue. You can go into DKA o

Agreed. I think PKD himself got trapped by words and trying to intellectualize his experiences. He experienced a lot of anguish because of that

What I love is how PKD and Horselover Fat phase in and out of each other throughout the book. Near the beginning, PKD makes it clear that Fat is "him" and that he's narrating the book to give himself clarity on the events. Bu

> who dives into the world of his comatose boss' brain This isn't quite what happens. It's actually left extremely ambiguous what's happening and where they are after the explosion.

I have a copy of his Exegesis, and I can confirm, he reinterpreted the experience probably hundreds of times. He loved the gnostic interpretation (which is the main focus on VALIS). But also yeah, sometimes just straight up orthodox Christi

Sometimes he wrote his worst trash in between some of his best books. He was ultimately a pulp fiction author, and often just pushed stuff out for a paycheck.

PKD remained surprisingly lucid and self aware of the likelihood of suffering from some sort of mental illness. He went back and forth the rest of his life trying to figure out whether he was insane or whether he'd had "real"

I think some of them intentionally model themselves after the evil characters in fiction. I remember seeing Musk talk one time about how he loves the game Deus Ex. And there's an almost uncanny resemblance between his actions and Bob P

It's a nice Saturday afternoon, and I'm literally in Midtown right now, wandering around after walking down 5th Avenue (it's shut down to cars today for "Summer Streets"). Perfect chance to walk over and take a look

Exactly my reaction. Of course a CEO is going to write a post saying "CEOs are expensive but worth it". At least they admitted to it, I guess!
