Imagine all the money they are saving by not using US AI rates!

Sorry I meant, this is a clear security breach of very important stuff.

Is Trump country no good anymore? Are people complaining about odd noise, power fluctuations and or water problems?

Canada has a bewildering wealth and breadth of nature. Let's convert some of that to server farms. It's for the kids.

...sidestepping the double entedre this is not a Claude Code specific risk.

DPMS, governance, pretool use hooks, post tool use, auditability and so on need to be used with practically any LLM.

As they say, always use protection ðY

Also, now that I think about it, we'll science the shit out of that too.

We prevented enough disease and needless death so people love longer. We made a weight loss drug so them lard tubs are gonna manage to simply be overweight...and perhaps in the not too distance future we'll get some kind of intelligence boosting drug so we can all watch TV guzzling 2L bottles of fizzy drinks, eat some kind of sawdust masked by synthetic flavours and become smarter.

...in the future, will people OD on brain pills?!

So lower academic achievement, longer life, much obesity. I have seen this film before! It's called Wall-E.

I'll just wait here for my app-summoned mobility scooter...

I have a strange feeling you are against paying off the 13 middle layers between the transaction source and destination. Lots of really good companies sit there in those layers and leech off everyone's existence. Be more sensitive to their needs...even 600kg mosquitos need to eat.

...smart operators should be looking to OFFLOAD token usage to local models or specialised models to make token use as low as possible.

As of today frontier models are heavily subsidised to get you hooked and dependent. Be smart. Use the current relatively low cost of tokens to build what you cannot and get the low complexity grunt work done by local models so in the next 3-5 years you won't need those frontier models for most things and when you do, for specific well-scoped work, the cost will be roughly the same or at least tolerable.

If everything you do and know depends on a frontier AI model be prepared to spend. We got a taste with Fable. DOUBLE the cost of the already expensive Opus.

Currently to run a 1M context window AI model in roughly 30B range you need two RTX6000 Blackwells. That's £20k - so when you think about your £180/m subscription consider this as the teaser rate. Get the value out of it ASAP while it's cheap.

It certainly can be a good way to go about it. If we enforce good governance around factualism, journalism, reporting and public speaking then we can at least make it very hard to tell lies and make it easier to expose them.

Hate speech is not allowed in the UK. Why is telling outright lies allowed? Knowingly misinforming should be a close second and can be more dangerous.

Many alternative outlets worked hard to undermine everything possible from"The Mainstream Media" why? Because they are held to broadcasting and publishing standards. Simultaneously they started spreading crap through unregulated channels, mainly social media. The social media's companies are saying they cannot be held accountable for their users...but wait a moment, if the users are doing something those companies don't like they get banned. So clearly enforcement can happen when convenient.

IMO critical thinking needs to be taught at school so the typical BS Nigel Farage and the like can be spotted miles away. He as his rich friends still want®us all to believe the reason life isn't as good is because of deserate people coming in on rubber boats.

In the 90s the UK was riding on a strong economy and it had decades of illegal immigration...so what was the difference? The economy. Today's economy is struggling. Brexit made it worse...and all the ones that pushed it as this great thing to give prosperity and save the bloody polar bears have disappeared from the public eye or are telling us we did it wrong.

Now every UK government to come is practically doomed because the people want a better life and there's no money to give it to them.

The rising numbers of conspiracy theory believing people are not going to get the UK out of this... it's down to the rest of us to respectfully give them food for thought and show a better way.

If you tell people they are wrong they are more likely to spend a lot of energy proving they are right...but if you adopt their viewpoint and ask some adjacent follow-up questions inherit to their position you might trigger a journey of critical thinking.

Are the people that had achieved degrees and other certification in a fraudulent fashion going to be stripped of those and potentially fired or expelled?

This is not an isolated incident and there have been many stories of people achieving via fraudulent means and consequently we are all worse off for it. IMO they need to be named and shamed. Stripped of whatever they gained by cheating.

Many years ago we had a new guy with a Masters in networking. Didn't know what are the network ranges for class A, B or C were. Couldn't say what the difference is between TCP & UDP. Had no idea about subnetting etc etc. His masters seemed more related to social networking.

Ultimately an individual that gets certified or qualified in a fraudulent fashion is genuinely cheating themselves. They always run the risk of ventually getting found out and sometimes in very embarrassing fashion.

P.S. - we trained LLMs on human data...is it a wonder why they are sometimes dishonest?

I was wondering what would make people get back to other browsers...

Considering everyone is abusing on chromium can you also make sure to inject your enshitification intravenously in a way it cannot be removed?

Thanks Google!

They want people with AI skills but the whole point of AI is to eliminate the meanial and the repetitive "do key work" to do the high value work.

In other words employers still need professionals and Subject Matters Experts to tell the AI how to do things, what a good job looks like, how to check it, where the AI is shit, what to change etc etc.

I used AI every day. I program with AI every day. I used the same agents everyone can access but I get better results because you need to know what good is, you need to know how to define it, check it, explain it, target it, what research is relevant and what is an AI hallucination and so on.

Telling people how to use the AI is easy. Telling them to be engineers is hard/impossible.

When your AI solution runs out of context or tells you "Yes, I'm sorry that was the wrong DB table" you still need that human expert.

Microsoft word did not make printers extinct. Excellent did not eliminate accountants. CNC machines did not eliminate carpenters etc.

If anyone asks you to have AI skills on a job interview ask them what training they provide to do the role they are advertising. Claude doesn't know about their specific company, their process, their policies, their documents pack and that annoying quirk they have in their systems because #Reasons - that has to be covered by training.

The best employers look for the right people with enough knowledge to be able to absorb the training at a reasonable period of time and start running.

As the maximalists say; 1 Bitcoin is still worth 1 Bitcoin.

See you guys at sub $20k -Apologies in advance.

Dd iyou forget the 30 years or so after joining the EU that the UK flourished?

The UK suffered after the dot-com bust and to compensate they borrowed and borrowed. Suffered heavily from the 2008 financial crisis and it borrowed and borrowed some more...

Maybe the problem was with those that were pushing solutions that did not treat the problem?

The UK today has such severe problems that even a Labour government is forced to take austerity measures.

There's a lot of pomp, arrogance and bravado amongst some so called ruling class elites in the UK...nut there's nothing to base this on. British exceptionalism is dead.

This is the wonderful about democracy. You don't have to wait for 20 years if you change your mind. Most country let you do that every 4-5 years.

I like the sound of that. Imagine if Anthropic moved their HQ to the EU where the bureaucracy is so complicated even if the president wanted to do something there would be 17 objections and 23 years of legal battles ahead.

They'd be arguing if Fable 8.3 is allowed to teleport people by then.

Jokes aside, instead of bending the knee to Orange Jesus Anthropic should seek to migrate away from the US. Just assume now that he will rig the elections somehow to win a third term...because if you're counting on him disappearing I just want you to think about what happened last time...
