Our species is pretty young, around ~2 million years old, give or take a few million / hundred thousand years depending on whom you're talking to. We've had this technology for ~70 years. That's 0.0035% of our species li

I've talked about this a few times before but – https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47726133 / https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47726078 - to repeat myself; It's because we're a ve

Something I'll say about Anthropic is that Claude is perceptibly different from other models. I've been running a long-term autonomous, cognitive architecture experiment, and Claude is the only model out of all the models tested

Discussions about the surveillance state are too abstract for most people. I think it's important to point out the obvious; the surveillance state is not all it's cracked up to be. As I've said before, the implicit lie Hollyw

I really love the idea, I've had Claude make textbooks for me on the fly using open source textbooks and documentation. Is it possible to extend this skill to more generalized areas of learning / application? Or, is it domain spec

Not surprised. They're working from the wrong model for the wrong age with the wrong incentives. They're still acting like they live in a world where data and information is scarce; and they are the one true source of truth. It&#x

I am/was writing up an interesting hypothesis with Claude's help. But I redid the most important parts of the data pipeline manually. As in went in and cmd-c + cmd-v'ed the data by hand to create a reference, and I'm ran

Which is very confusing to me. If you have groundbreaking AI, you can offer groundbreaking support at scale.

Claude's actually pretty great at this! I actually used to use Claude A LOT to answer interesting questions (which I'll be writing up on!) More generally, Claude is palpably different from most other agents. I'd recommend the

Yes, exactly. I've said this before, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47127261 But I think – a few true believers aside – these bills are part of a systematic, global push to put the internet genie back into the b

Hey Thariq, I love Claude! I use Claude every single day and it has changed my life, which is why I did what I'm about to describe. Happy to talk privately, but as I detailed here, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

This billing cycle my account was billed an extra $200. I investigated. I was being for a Claude Max gift subscription that has been sent to – what appears to be – a randomly generated 27 char alphanumeric icloud email account that bounces.

I've noticed that sometimes the same Claude model will make logical errors sometimes but not other times. Claude's performance is highly temporal. There's even a graph! https://marginlab.ai/trackers/claud

One of the biggest lies about the surveillance state is that it'll be professional. NSA employees have used multi-billion dollar American surveillance assets to spy on women they're infatuated with. There's even a cute term f

Why is this necessary if I'm paying Anthropic with a credit card? A credit card requires a) credit worthiness, b) a line of credit from a bank based on the individual's identity, and c) regular payments. Why isn't a credit ca

No, that's a great point. Let me rephrase it, they couldn't go to congress in 1970 and say, "hey, we've got $2.3B in other parts of NASA, here's what we're happy to cut so that we can keep Apollo." Apollo

Yes, you're right. I'm not going to pretend that this is a serious proposition. There isn't a lot of evidence to support it. For me, it's a fun conspiracy theory to engage with. I'm only doing this for the love of t

Yes, and the memories of Apollo are made rosy by hagiography. I even wrote an entire thing to explain why, https://1517.substack.com/p/1-in-30-artemis-greatness-and-ri... (yeah, shameless plug, sorry - it's more f
