Claude has an "End Conversation" tool that it can trigger on it's own, forcing your interaction to a close based on it's own feelings towards the conversation. I have no idea how this wasn't the end of Anthropic&#x2

These are always exciting, even if it's more of the same. I love that we live in a time where we can regularly watch huge rockets launch into space with intentional issues just to see what might go wrong and how best to monitor/so

This is the EXACT evolution of this product that I've wanted. For simple tasks on some of my desktop machines, I don't want to mess with SSH or remoting into them, I just want to tell an AI agent what I need, let it build a plan t

"Because I have a job, it is now impossible for me to raise my children. I have to outsource this to a council of legislators because I'm simply too busy!" Bad argument, bad outcomes. These are exactly the "bad parents&q

The politicians that want to identify everyone capitalize on organic desire for these proposals in the form of fear-mongering and "Think of the children!" Citizens that want these laws are unthinking drones who don't want to

THe government shouldn't be raising anyone's children, that's what parents are for. If you're a bad parent, your kids will get access to bad things and could become an adult failure. The future of your family and your le

From the article: > Specifying an objective to the model is not enough. Directing how the work is constructed is what counts.

> Surely you are responsible for the consequences of what you do, no matter how indirect? No, that’s preposterous. You are not responsible for the actions of others simply because your actions put them in a place to perform said actions.

Nor should you be burdened with that. This is why we elect competent (hopefully) leaders to worry about these things for us. Mob rule democracy about every national secret would mean they’re not secrets for very long!

No. Their comment was: “Any AI researcher who continues to work here is morally compromised.” But, “…doing this kind of work with the federal government.” is added context that was not there and is based on your own interpretation. The lang

Why would you write a letter if you don't know what you're objecting to or even if you should be objecting?

Google should never be determining what is lawful or not.

Just because you are working with your government does not mean what you’re doing is necessarily immoral, either.

Your only reference is a reversed policy from 2+ years ago that displayed a message but never stopped you from posting at all, and it only ever affected mobile users?? Also, promoting a specific documentary from a production company doesn’t

Surely you can see how requiring ID for a physical cigs, drugs, and alcohol purchases is different from requiring ID to use a website? “Think of the children” is the exact tool fascists use to erode liberties. Governments worldwide salivate

I just searched Twitter for “cis” and found endless results, including a forgotten tweet of my own from 2+ years ago that’s never been taken down and I haven’t been banned for! :) Nobody is getting banned for that, that’s just another Blues

I don’t care how anyone else chooses to raise their children. They can let their kids rot their brains, do poorly in school, and fail in life without ever getting me or the government involved. I am not responsible for raising the failed ch

Ideologically isolated, obviously. The basis for its existence is to supply a platform for people who want to isolate from ideas and narratives they find uncomfortable, so they self-select into echo chambers that cater to their preexisting

That Bluesky comment snuck up on me and got a good laugh from me! You mean the fine folks over at Bluesky, the social media network built around isolation, intolerance, and refusing to listen to other’s POV, exhibit these same character fla

As a parent, you have direct control over who your kid’s friends are. We used to say, “If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?”. Now we say, “Well, the kids are going to jump off a cliff anyway, I can’t stop them, so the governme

I don’t think the answer is banning phones (except in school, context dependent), it’s letting lazy, bad parents have natural outcomes for their children and allowing the rest to work itself out through the social free market. It sounds cru

Well, I don’t agree with any laws like that, they’re all silly. Nobody under 16 should be on social media for their own good, but it’s their parent’s job to prevent them from rotting their brains, not some governing body.

This is pretty radical, but what if, perhaps, the children touched grass instead of doom scrolling? Lonely children aren’t the fault of the government, they’re the fault of parents who let them scroll TikTok in their rooms all day, because

The mindless paternalism is the point! People like this want a Nanny State to enforce their own ideals, as they arbitrarily believe themselves to be morally superior. That’s why these laws happen to begin with. It starts as “Think of the ch

I would categorize HN as a news aggregator with a comment section, not social media.

John Ternus is the perfect choice. I expected Craig, and that would've been great, but Ternus is going to really be something special in that role!
