Earlier quoted context omitted.

Where? I see barely any settings in settings. Maybe it is not available for everyone, or maybe it depends on your answer to "What best describes your work?" (I have not tested).

Open the sidebar, click on your username/email and then "Feature Preview". Don't know if it depends on the "What best describes your work" setting but you can also change that here: https://claude.ai/settings/profile (I have "Engineering").

Oh, yeah it is in "Feature Preview" (not in Settings though), my bad!

It's quite sad that application interoperability requires parsing bitmaps instead of exchanging structured information. Feels like a devastating failure in how we do computing.

It's quite sad that application interoperability requires parsing text passed via pipes instead of exchanging structured information.

Like others said, worse is better.

Reminds me of the rise in job application bots. People are applying to thousands of jobs using automated tools. It’s probably one of the inevitable use cases of this technology. It makes me think. Perhaps the act of applying to jobs will go extinct. Maybe the endgame is that as soon as you join a website like Monster or LinkedIn, you immediately “apply” to every open position, and are simply ranked against every othe…

I've found that doing some research and finding the phone number of the hiring person and calling them directly is very powerful.

I still feel like the difference between Sonnet and Opus is a bit unclear. Somewhere on Anthropic's website it says that Opus is the most advanced, but on other parts it says Sonnet is the most advanced and also the fastest. The UI doesn't make the distinction clear either. Then on Perplexity, Perplexity says that Opus is the most advanced, compared to Sonnet. And finally, in the table in the blogpost, Opus isn't eve…

Opus hasn't yet gotten an update from 3 to 3.5, and if you line up the benchmarks, the Sonnet "3.5 New" model seems to beat it everywhere. I think they originally announced that Opus would get a 3.5 update, but with every product update they are doing I'm doubting it more and more. It seems like their strategy is to beat the competition on a smaller model that they can train/tune more nimbly and pair it with outside-…

I think the practical economics of the LLM business are becoming clearer in recent times. Huge models are expensive to train and expensive to run. As long as it meets the average user's everyday needs, it's probably much more profitable to just continue with multimodal and fine-tuning development on smaller models.

Captchas are toast.

they have been toast for at least a decade if not two now. With OCR and captcha solving services like DeathByCaptcha or AntiCaptcha where it costs ~$2.99 per 1k successfully solved captchas, they are a non-issue amd takes about 5-10 lines of code added to your script to implement a solution.

One of the funnier things during training with the new API (which can control your computer) was this: "Even while recording these demos, we encountered some amusing moments. In one, Claude accidentally stopped a long-running screen recording, causing all footage to be lost. Later, Claude took a break from our coding demo and began to peruse photos of Yellowstone National Park." [0] https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/1…

In 2015, when I was asked by friends if I'm worried about Self driving Cars and AI, I answered: "I'll start worrying about AI when my Tesla starts listening to the radio because it's bored." ... that didn't take too long

You'll know AGI is here when it takes time out to go talk to ChatGPT, or another instance of itself, or maybe goes down a rabbit hole of watching YouTube music videos.

Or back in reality, that’s when you know the training data has been sourced from 2024 or later.

This is, craaaaaazzzzzy. I'm just a layman, but to me, this is the most compelling evidence that things are starting to tilt toward AGI that I've ever seen.

It's an illusion. This is just inference running.
