Claude, automate this thread, make no mistakes.

I wonder how much work it would be to actually handle them being underground/overground at appropriate places? e.g. the District Line and/or Picadilly near Hammersmith. Would be co…

Agreed - "underspecified prompts" being listed as a failure of the tooling is not a strong case. Even interns can understand ambiguous asks with a bit of help, and understand when …

Of course they are. It's a good reminder that non-profits are very often just an arm of capital, whatever their legal status is, and that they will exercise capital's authority to …

Nothing really wrong with being a Luddite. The Luddites weren't anti-technology or anti-progress. Rather, they opposed deployment of technology in the workplace which they believed…

Humans are also non-deterministic, though. Why does replacing one non-deterministic actor with another matter here? I'm not particularly swayed by arguments of consciousness, wheth…

I mean, Tesla gave up on quality self-driving many years ago when Elon went hard against LIDAR. He's never relented, either, and I don't foresee that changing.

On the one hand... the operator who started the agent is responsible. If you fire a gun into the air, the bullet will probably not land on anybody. It's pretty unpredictable what w…
