#2Every single AI economic analysis talks about travel planning but none of the AI labs have the primitives (transit routing, geocoding, etc.) in a semantic interface for the models to use.

#3> These “primitives”—simple, foundational measures of how Claude is used, which we generate by asking Claude specific questions about anonymized Claude.ai and first-party (1P) API transcripts
I just skimmed but is there any manual verification / human statistical analysis done on this or we just taking Claude’s word for it?

#4This is very cool but it's not quite what I expected out of economic primitives.
I expected to see measures of the economic productivity generated as a result of artificial intelligence use.
Instead, what I'm seeing is measures of artificial intelligence use.
I don't really see how this is measuring the most important economic primitives. Nothing related to productivity at all actually. Everything about how and where and who... This is just demographics and usage statistics...

#5All of this performative bullshit coming out of Anthropic is slowly but surely making them my least favorite AI company.
We get it guys the very scary future is here any minute now and you’re the only ones taking it super seriously and responsibly and benevolently. That’s great. Now please just build the damn thing

#6> This also highlights the importance of model design and training. While Claude is able to respond in a highly sophisticated manner, it tends to do so only when users input sophisticated prompts.
If the output of the model depends on the intelligence of the person picking outputs out of its training corpus, is the model intelligent?
This is kind of what I don't quite understand when people talk about the models being intelligent. There's a huge blindspot, which is that the prompt entirely determines the output.

i don't know, are we intelligent?
you could argue that our input (senses) entirely define the output (thoughts, muscle movements, etc)

A smart person will tailor their answers to the perceived level of knowledge of the person asking, and the sophistication of the question is a big indicator of this.
