I mean, Casey isn't married!
It is the most successfully conversational, when you're trying for, say, the proper term for something.
I'd love to see some examples of interactions
Bachelor's got a limp dick and tons of debt. But you go on and keep fucking him, Kev, and maybe it'll work out for you.
"AI insiders" - you don't have to be coy, Kevin, you can just call them rubes
@kevinroose.com Everyone: AI chatbots are advancing! Claude the Chatbot: Hold my training data, I'm off to solve relationship drama 🍷
Tech bros are idiots. Revenge of the Nerds without the funny or the relatable.
the legal advice is most likely illegal.
... well I look forward to a lot of jail time and bankruptcy notices, then legal advice from a product of a class known to hallucinate, jfc
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.
Yes, please, get your legal advice from a dumb piece of software.
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.
How much did you get paid for this, hack?
Can I ask what game this is? It looks super cute! 🥰
👓: 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.
Omg! That sounds so good and fun! Thank you for sharing! 💕
One of my favorite games of all-time. And a fantastic soundtrack. All made by one person- @tobyfox.undertale.com
I saw it was available on Mac (yay I can play it!) so it's going to be my Christmas present to myself 😊
It’s the only game I’ve played that has evoked strong feelings of genuine sadness. Be prepared for unexpected feelings.
Struggling to understand what value, if any, there is in yet another puff piece about people in the AI industry using and hyping up AI tools
I think it’s useful to know what people who make AI tools are doing with AI tools
Appreciate the reply. For what it’s worth I did actually read it before replying!
Because the tools aren’t actually functional and these idiots are using it for legal advice…
That’s fair. But you do present it in this sort of credulous, hyped up way here. Eligible bachelor etc. it reads like an ad for AI
piece would benefit immensely from a single example of what claude actually did for one of these users
This is literally what was happening as I hear you are asking Julian Kelly the multiverse question.
"legal advice" are you actually for serious? Fucken hell you're useless
no no he was cooking with his crypto stuff, this is perfect he'll write "A Latecomer's Guide to AI" and the bubble will pop two months later
What could go wrong?
Yeah they’re falling for it alright, as in “I can’t believe they fell for that!”
Do you like it when they spit in your mouth?
Big hit with simpletons that can’t perform their jobs.
lol ok. Sure, buddy.
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?
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.
And I don't expect Anderson Cooper to ask those questions anytime soon-- ohagan.medium.com/how-to-hype-...
Reminds me of this movie, m.imdb.com/title/tt0087...
You shouldn’t have
Inspired me to try it out for social advice and loved it ✌🏻 But when asked for studies to back up some points it hallucinated again and again! 😵
The comment section seems filled with defensive reactions, particularly from those in tech who appear uncomfortable when their viewpoints are challenged. And yes, these are my own unfiltered thoughts.
