The point the other poster is making, though, is that there's no actual intent. They do not have a conceptualization of a goal like a person does. Their "focus" on a goal is an unstable equilibrium and they're going to f

I don't know what to say except that this has not been the case for me. Claude is a different person for every single prompt and has absolutely no core sense of what our goals are, or even who the "our" is that's having

In a sense yes. I trust that my coworkers will be accountable for their outcomes and accomplish them with the high quality bar I know they intrinsically hold themselves to. And that they understand our shared goals and if they don't, t

Because this is MARKETING, not research. You are viewing marketing copy for anthropic. What is their methodology by which they determined ANY of these numbers? This is pure marketing fluff, just like every single other thing this company do

It makes me happy because it means that these misanthropic technofascists have no moat. They can spend trillions of dollars only for it to be largely copied in short order. Even if they weren't political adversaries of freedom, I would

But what's the point of real assets if you can't do anything with them? No point in holding real estate if nobody can afford to rent/buy your houses or go do whatever money-spending thing you put on your commercial lots.

I call this "brand mining." Take a brand previously known for quality, start selling shite, and then you get to pocket the delta until the market catches on. The brand is now worthless (you've "mined" it out) but he

Information wants to be free. We should simply dispose of copyright. With LLMs, waters that were already muddy are now a thick slurry. And it's only going to get worse. It's an antiquated mechanism and is far more abused than it i

They were, very unfortunately, outsmarted by said too-clever programmers. As such I would like to request my enums and ternaries be returned to me. Trust me, they will not make a dent in the messes people have still managed to create.

It's relevant because the feedback mechanism for countering all of this is "theoretically, the firm gets outcompeted by other actors who are not doing the bad things." I'm pointing out that, due to how strongly capitalis

Correct. I do believe my _manager_ wants me to have a say etc. but I also know my manager has terrifically little power overall. "In management" just means you can't unionize and have to dance to the company tune.

They addressed this though? I suspect you are unfamiliar with the GIL in python. The reason for a language distinction is because, as OP says: "As it's much easier to share a connection pool locally". This may change vaguely
