#2Is it just me, or does it seem extremely dangerous to market: “Strata doesn't just show the data. It makes the call.”
The page states it’s powered by Claude with nothing I could see that relates to its performance, metrics, processes, testing, etc. for something expected to be used in a safety application.

#3Absolutely the wrong application for an LLM.
How do we know it’s providing correct data?

#4Make sure you have a very good LLC that can’t be pierced.

It's perfectly safe, I assure you.

#6Well, for the creators’ sakes, I hope the ToS that Claude wrote [1] holds up in court!

#7Note that there is Strata (strata.com), the 3d software company, which I immediately thought it was about. It was the first 3d software I used some 30 years ago.

Scroll scroll scroll…
“Strata informs your decisions — it doesn't make them for you.”
I hope you don’t kill someone.

Worrying about "correctness" is such pre-LLM thinking. What's important now is generating content that doesn't require effort or labor cost.

#10Read the headline - sounds like a therapy / anti-suicide advocacy app?
Clicked the link - ok looks like it's for ski touring, because it mentions avalanche stuff?
Checked the route catalog - wait, there's barely any ski tours here and it's a bunch of random hikes from around the country. Why is avalanche risk highlighted when 99% of hikers are probably gonna stay home if there's a big snowstorm? Is this by chance your personal hiking history? Why these hikes in particular?
Are avalanches the only way someone can die outdoors? What about snake bites, heat exhaustion, drowning etc.?
I am not sure what the app actually does vs gaia, alltrails, nwac app. The site only has one screenshot. What does this app add?
