    No they shouldn't because "death to" is simply a mistranslation. "Death to" is an idiom in Persian that means approximately "down with"- and in fact the official translation by the…

    "Bringing democracy" is a very weak ideological motivation. I would rather call it plausible deniability. As in "we're doing this to bring democracy" and people might be left with …

    Next step: steering them. (As in Permutation City's "Operation Butterfly".)

    An AI that thinks like its user seems an awful idea to me. It's exactly the sycophancy issue that everyone has been complaining about- a user that suffers of delusions or any sort …

    But then we agree. Some humans will behave that way. Then direct your anger against those who do so, instead of against those (the majority) who ask the questions, read and evaluat…

    You know what? If you post a question and I get a good answer from Claude, it means you haven't even been able to do the basic job of asking yourself. Not only you weren't able, yo…

    Why would I reformulate what Claude already explained in a way that I find satisfactory? Only to give you the impression that I came up with it myself? > if you give an answer, own…

    No, it was a suitably nasty reply to someone who boasted of being nasty to colleagues trying to help. If your question can be answered by Claude, and you didn't ask Claude yourself…

    I agree. However, since I work in a small team and everyone knows me, I don't need to provide this entire context every time. I usually just prepend "according to Claude ..." and t…

    If I asked a question to Claude, it's because I couldn't answer it myself, but also, because I used my skills and domain expertise to explain clearly the problem to Claude. And if …

    Uh? I don't understand, are you saying that instead of asking Claude myself I should write a question for other people to do it? Which is by the way only the initial part of the wo…

    The value of the exercises you do in school (from sums to PhDs) is the learning you get from them. Good, because you need people to learn stuff, because the people that know stuff …

    I've left the petro-states in the list because the fact that they have such high per-capita emissions is interesting even if not surprising, but I agree that as small countries the…

    Seems we are many to have had the exact same experience with the boiler and an LLM (Claude in my case). +1.

    I'd leave aside Memento as it's a small independent movie, very different from Nolan's movies from Inception on. I'm curious what you mean with "explores the thematic, cinematic an…

    Not at all. Most Kubrick's movies are illustrations of specific, well defined theses (for example about human ambition and violence) and the plots are tightly fit to that purpose. …

    I've got an excellent overview of consequences from Claude Opus 5. I'd post it here but there's a "no AI content" policy, so sorry, you need to ask yourself. (Though for Europe spe…
