wow, i almost got worried but the cute music and the funny little monster on the desk convinced me that this all just fun and dandy and all will be good. the future is coming and we'll all be much more happy :)

#372This is actually a huge deal. As someone building AI SaaS products, I used to have the position that directly integrating with APIs is going to get us most of the way there in terms of complete AI automation. I wanted to take at stab at this problem and started researching some daily busineses and how they use software. My brother-in-law (who is a doctor) showed me the bespoke software they use in his practice. Runni…
Basically, if it means companies can introduce automation without changing anything about the tooling/workflow/programs they already use, it's going to be MASSIVE. Just and install and a prompt and you've already automated a lengthy manual process - awesome.
That's exactly it.
I've been peddling my vision of "AI automation" for the last several months to acquaintances of mine in various professional fields. In some cases, even building up prototypes and real-user testing. Invariably, none have really stuck.
This is not a technical problem that requires a technical solution. The problem is that it requires human behavior change.
In the context of AI automation, the promise is huge gains, but when you try to convince users / buyers, there is nothing wrong with their current solutions. Ie: There is no problem to solve. So essentially "why are you bothering me with this AI nonsense?"
Honestly, human behavior change might be the only real blocker to a world where AI automates most of the boring busy work currently done by people.
This approach essentially sidesteps the need to have effect a behavior change, at least in the short-term while AI can prove and solidify its value in the real-world.

#373This needs more discussion: Claude using Claude on a computer for coding https://youtu.be/vH2f7cjXjKI?si=Tw7rBPGsavzb-LNo (3 mins) True end-user programming and product manager programming are coming, probably pretty soon. Not the same thing, but Midjourney went from v.1 to v.6 in less than 2 years. If something similar happens, most jobs that could be done remotely will be automatable in a few years.
openinterpreter has been doing this for a while, with a bunch of LLMs, glad to see first party support for this use case

This has existed for a long time, it's called "RPA" or Robotic Process Automation. The biggest incumbent in this space is UiPath, but there are a host of startups and large companies alike that are tackling it.
Most of the things that RPA is used for can be easily scripted, e.g. download a form from one website, open up Adobe. There are a lot of startups that are trying to build agentic versions of RPA, I'm glad to see Anthropic is investing in it now too.

#375I really don't get their model. They have very advanced models, but the service overall seems to be a jumble of priorities. Some examples: Anthropic doesn't offer an unlimited chatbot service, only plans that give you "more" usage, whatever that means. If you have an API key, you are "unlimited," so they have the capability. Why doesn't the chatbot allow one to use their API key in the Claude app to get unlimited usa…
Even with API, depending what tier you are sitting on, there is daily limits. OpenAI used to be able to generate files for you, they changed that. It was useful.

Every time I see this argument made, there seems to be a level of complexity and/or operational cost above which people throw up their hands and say "well of course we can't do that". I feel like we will see that again here as well. It really is similar to the self-driving problem.
Self-driving is a beyond-six-sigma problem. An error rate of over 1-2 crashes per million miles, i.e., the human rate, is unacceptable.
Most jobs are not like that.
A good argument can be made, however, that software engineering, especially in important domains, will be among the last to be fully automated because software errors often cascade.
There’s a countervailing effect though. It’s easy to generate and validate synthetic data for lower-level code. Junior coding jobs will likely become less available soon.

What do you mean by “file” here? I’m making files on a daily basis, including CSVs, html, executable code, XML, JSON and other formats. It built me an entire visual wireframe for something the other day.
Are you using artefacts?
But I’m maybe misunderstanding your point because my use is relatively basic through the built in chatbot.

Exactly. I have been wondering for a while how GenAI might upend RPA providers guess this might be the answer.
Re: Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
#379Is there an easy way to use Claude as a Co-Pilot in VS Code? If it is better at coding, it would be great to have it integrated.
Cody by Sourcegraph has unlimited code completions for Claude & a very generous monthly message limit. They don't have this new version I think but they roll these out very fast.
We are live!

i am sure it will do great handling error cases and pixel perfect ui
