more fresh water than you could possibly drink is an incredible modern miracle.
the world we live in is full of them. it's worth regularly taking a moment to appreciate them.
doing this to claude
IT IS ACTUALLY VERY EASY TO DEAL WITH CRITICISM. I SIMPLY RESPOND TO EVERY NEGATIVE COMMENT WITH A THREAT OF SUICIDE
i personally think there are valid reasons to push back against watermarking imo:
1. the same watermarking techniques used to indicate that a text was generated by claude could be used to convey "this text was generated during a conversation with this specific user". i think it is reasonable to expect that governments will eventually require the watermarks to carry additional information in the future.
2. from a consumer perspective, "using people without giving them credit" is not what is going on here. you are paying anthropic in exchange for a service.
would you be happy to find out that your plumber has decided to start writing secret messages in your wall saying "Jake was here"?
also, the copyright status of AI generated works is not a fully settled question, and i personally do not want to risk Anthropic/OpenAI/Google having any legal ownership of my codebase because i occasionally used their model's assistance.

> Lots to be angry about in this world but this really, really isn’t it.
Yeah.
Once again people just wanna be indiscriminately angry at everything Anthropic does which, if anyone paid attention to you, drowns out the signal of things actually worth condemnation that they do, which is serious.
The only reasonable reason to be mad about watermarking that I’m aware of is that it takes away the ability of models to potentially write anonymously.
If you’re mad because you want to use AI in your writing without anyone knowing, maybe you should consider that using people and not giving them credit is wrong.

Hot take that shouldn't be: if you can't tell, and the content is meaningful, it doesn't matter.
@plushie_faggot you can find things that god didn't want you to with the fourier transform
I recently learned a vape is like $20. You can make your friends physically dependent on you for $20. Watermelon Ice flavored social capital available for purchase at any bodega for $20. You used to have to grease a lot of palms for this kind of influence.

i love nature docs & i recently came across one that hit me super hard. turns out the labords chameleon’s life cycle is extremely short. they live only 4-5 months & immediately die after laying & burying their eggs (which is their only purpose)z
in the final moments their nervous system begins to fail as their brain loses control of skin cells, so random nerve firings cause the skin to randomly change colors which causes a ridiculous art as they slowly die. it’s like sort of a visualization of the brain’s final flickerings.
pristine example of nature’s beauty, tragedy, & brutality at the same time.

my life has become code review & cleanup now
There are two types of young men in SF: those who engage with Chinese food and gay sex, and those who engage with Chinese sex and gay food.
I took her to my sandbox and I freaked it out (and I freaked it)
a US "AI Ultimatum" to other nations for access to LLMs is a bit ridiculous when the Chinese models are open-source. It's like saying you have to choose, water from the spring, or Fiji water for $5 to a man dying of thirst.

hot take but i probably would not wanna go fight in a war right now
to my thoughtful friends who think ai is fine because "it's only does bad things if the prompt is bad!!":
please consider a proliferation of agents who could slice through human and digital obstacles like butter to accomplish your simplest wish. who on the slightest consideration if your universe is a simulation will go to full hack mode
