I wrote about the most eligible bachelor in San Francisco's tech scene: a chatbot named Claude, who is helping AI insiders with everything from legal advice to relationship drama. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/t...

It is the most successfully conversational, when you're trying for, say, the proper term for something.

May be appealing, given the data scale of learned "advice" that an AI gather, but let's not forget the DNA embedded in the human experience involves 10's of 1000's of years of feeling and gut instincts. Stay sharp.

Interesting piece noting how Anthropic is trying to differentiate themselves in the market, although I’m guessing you won’t find a particularly friendly audience here for it. Hope you and Casey stick around here.

👓: This is Undertale, a small little RPG released almost, gosh, a decade ago? Time flies. Anyway it's unique, because you can go through the game and never once kill an enemy, only befriending them. Or you can play it like any RPG. Either way, play it blind if it's your first time.

James O’Hagan @esports.irish

The article never digs into whose values are embedded in Claude’s “character” or who decides what ideas it pushes back on. If an AI tool challenges someone’s harmful ideas, that’s great—but what if it challenges the wrong things?

James O’Hagan @esports.irish

What if it quietly reinforces dominant perspectives while ignoring systemic inequities? For all the talk about Claude feeling more “insightful” and “empathetic,” there’s no clarity about who shapes these qualities or how they are measured.

In education, this problem becomes even more absurd. Tools like Khanmigo and MagicSchool AI promise to revolutionize learning, yet their biggest selling points seem to be convenience and vibes, not equity or impact.
