I love it when this kind of thing surfaces on HN. It’s always so enjoyable to have the fractal nature of detail in the world shown to you. Really nice to read as well.

Assuming they would understand it as artificial - I think many people would think it's a human intelligence in a cyborg trenchcoat, and it would be hard to convince people it wasn't literally a guy named Claude who was an incredib

Hmm, it's been a long time since I watched it. I was thinking more about first contact sci-fi mostly, but Ex Machina is certainly quite prescient. It's also Blade Runner I guess. In general I was wondering about what I would have

Thanks, I find it very interesting as well. I think very many people would assume they must be interacting with another person, and I don't think there's really a way to _prove_ it's not that, just through conversation. But w

Thanks for sharing that talk, enjoyed watching it!

You said: "I would like to reach out and talk to biologists - do you find these models to be useful and capable? Can it save you time the way a highly capable colleague would?" and they said, paraphrasing, "We reached out and

A thought experiment: It's April, 1991. Magically, some interface to Claude materialises in London. Do you think most people would think it was a sentient life form? How much do you think the interface matters - what if it looks like a

Yeah, good point, thanks for noting that, I'll correct.

There's been a section on this in nearly every system card anthropic has published so this isn't a new thing - and, this model doesn't have particularly higher risk than past models either: > 2.1.3.2 On chemical and biolog

The system card for Claude Mythos (PDF): https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/53566bf5440a10affd749724787c89... Interesting to see that they will not be releasing Mythos generally. [edit: Mythos Preview generally - fair to say t

Thanks, that’s the answer I was looking for!

I wonder did you read the re-release or the original release. I believe it was recently re-released with a bit of an editing pass, but I haven't read that version myself. I just recently reread Fine Structure and it definitely had a st

Ah, you're right. Headquartered in Delaware. Oh well. Thanks for spotting!

It's not completely clear that this is the original source. According to the post it's a reimplementation based on documentation created from the original source, or perhaps from developer documentation and the SDK. Whether that&#

I think it comes down to the company's appetite for legal action, doesn't it? This case is imo pretty clear but the vibe has quite the smell of Oracle v Google to me. But, yeah. More than likely this case is a simple account termi

You could certainly do that in private but that doesn't mean it's not 'without legal concerns'. But, not shouting about it and not creating a repo called 'openviktor' would probably be a safer bet. I certainly

There are gonna be some really interesting legal decisions to read in the coming years, that’s for sure… --- The rest of this comment is irrelevant, but leaving for posterity, I had the wrong Viktor - it's getviktor.com not viktor.ai:

Just a minor thing - your readme claims “MIT licensed forever” but here you say there are “no plans to change that”. Those are different things! Cool project.

Your username made me chuckle!

Unfortunately I think that's going to be very, very hard to sell to many people here in rural Ireland (Roscommon in my case). I would really love to see people stop burning turf but it's such a strong cultural thing that in some p

Maybe so. I guess I feel that in a couple of years it may not be called vibe coding, or even coding, I think it might be called 'using a computer'. I suppose it's very hard to correctly estimate or reason about such a big cha

I've been thinking about this lately too. I think we're going to see the rise of Extremely Personal Software, software that barely makes any sense outside of someone's personal context. I think there is going to be _so_ much

Unfortunately I've deleted them, but here's the repo, such as it is: https://github.com/CarlQLange/agent-usenet . If you have a claude subscription it should just work. Rewrite 0001.txt if you like and run gen

I tried something similar locally after seeing Moltbook, using Claude Code (with the agent SDK) in the guise of different personas to write usenet-style posts that other personas read in a clean-room, allowing them to create lists and vote

Ha. 4 days later it no longer says that and that doesn't appear to be supported anymore. Now the SDK requires an API key.

This was mentioned recently and I had a look[0]. It seems like the benchmark is not quite saying what people think it's saying, and the paper even mentions it. The benchmark is constructed by using a model (Deepseek) to define question

Yeah. The times I have let claude off the read-only leash, it's gone fine for me too (with stern warnings not to do anything stupid, and a close eye). But that's not really solving the same problem as this project, I guess. From w

Clever solution. I think ops (like this) and observability will be pretty hot markets for a while soon. The code is quite cheap now, but actually running it and keeping it running still requires some amount of background. I've had a nu
