I could go on and on, but Claude recently decompiled the firmware of my camper van, documented all the CAN interfaces, then programmed an ESP32 module to talk to the van’s integrated systems (power, HVAC, lighting, tanks). That sort of embedded systems integration is completely out of my wheelhouse. I honestly don’t understand AI naysayers. I use Claude every day both professionally as a Solution Architect and person…

I know Anthropic has blocks on using Claude for security reasearch; Are they not blocking Reverse engineering or RE tools?

Was this AI Dungeon? If I recall correctly, it was popular as a way to access GPT-3 which wasn't available publicly.
Also I remember that the link was temporary...like it was inactive a day later...so it may have been a little preview with gpt-3 for HN-ers....
It was briefly an easy way to access GPT-3 before the public release, but that was later and apparently not as important as I thought.
2025 xmas day, was at my wife's parents' house in rural Japan, my kids were all playing with their cousins, I was posted up with my laptop just listening to some podcast about the benefits of making time for long walks in middle age (as if! ~lol) while running another "agentic team" experiment — 12 agents in parallel. I'd been feeding these bots a few projects, over and over — the hard part was the feeding them — tha…
Hm, narrows eyes after the tenth perfectly pair-spaced em dash. Scans downward ... this does remind one of the general tone of fanfiction, which in fact comprises a large proportion of the text base of data. //The realization that potentially many of these comments may be fun- or profit-motivated 'advertising'.

> I honestly don’t understand AI naysayers. As an AI naysayer, I see and appreciate the productivity gains, I don’t like the associated cost, mostly the spike in workflow centralization and opaqueness.
Yes and I'd like to talk about the environmental impact as well please.
Actually seems absurdly simple now, but sometime last year I was trying to figure out what I'd need to tow my daughter's car cross country with my truck: what are the trailer/dolly options, what do they cost, can my truck actually tow the combined weight, etc. I started out prompting ChatGPT kinda how I would with Google, one small prompt at a time, asking about various details. But after one or two of those I just t…
It very plausibly might have been totally wrong. Out of laziness I several times asked Claude and ChatGPT each some torque figures and other simple, hard data related to my dirt bike. They often got it completely wrong, but full of confidence every time. I never trust LLMs with hard data, unless you RAG the PDF into the context and even then it's sketchy.

I took a photo of my ailing plant and claude advised me on how to get it healthy again (and how to take a cutting and nurture that). This is some science fiction shit. I get all the coding stories, but that's a computer talking about a computer, it makes sense. Showing my computer a picture of a plant, and it not only recognised the plant, but diagnosed it and knew what to do... blew my mind.
