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 other candidate.
From the computer use video demo, that's a lot of API calls. Even though Claude 3.5 Sonnet is relatively cheap for its performance, I suspect computer use won't be. It's a very good idea that Anthropic upfront that it isn't perfect. And it's guaranteed that there will be a viral story where Claude will accidentally delete something important with it. I'm more interested in Claude 3.5 Haiku, particularly if it is inde…
It's just bizarre to force a computer to go through a GUI to use another computer. Of course it's going to be expensive.
For program access, one could claim this is even how linux tools usually do it: you parse some meant-for human text to attempt to extract what you want. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can find an argument that spits out something meant for machines. Funny enough, Microsoft is the only one that made any real headway for this seemingly impossible goal: powershell objects [1].

I have been a paying ChatGPT customer for a long time (since the very beginning). Last week I've compared ChatGPT to Claude and the results (to my eye) were better, the output better structured and the canvas works better. I'm on the edge of jumping ship.
Anthropic's rate limit are very low sadly, even for paid customers. You can use the API of course but it's not as convenient and may be more expensive.
Edit: The web site and iPhone app are both now identifying themselves as "Claude Sonnet 3.5 (New)".
And today I realized that despite it being an extremely common activity, we don’t really have a word for “using the computer” which is distinct from “computing”. It’s funny because AI models are always “using a computer” but now they can “use your computer.”
Similarly using our homes are an extremely common ‘activity’, yet the object-activities that get special words commonly used are the ones with specific user application.
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…

I think the best use case for AI `Computer Use` would be a simple positioning of the mouse and asking for conformation before a click. For most use cases this is all people will want/need. If you don't know how to do something, it is basically teaching you how, in this case, rather than taking full control and doing things so fast you don't have time to stop of going rogue.
It could be very empowering for users with disabilities to regain access computers. But it would also be very powerful to be able to ask "use Photoshop to remove the power lines from this photo" and have the model complete the task and drop off a few samples in a folder somewhere.

For a company selling intelligence, that's a pretty stupid way of labelling a new product.
Speaking of "intelligence", isn't it ironic how everyone's only two words they use to describe AI is "crazy" and "insane". Every other post on Twitter is like: This new feature is insane! This new model is crazy! People have gotten addicted to those words almost as badly as their other new addiction: the word "banger".

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.
Cody ( https://cody.dev ) will have support for the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet on all tiers (including the free tier) asap. We will reply back here when it's up.
