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 the biggest and slowest and most expensive one

Not most advanced

This can power one of my favorite use-cases.

Like find me a list of things to do with a family, given today's weather and in the next 2 hours, quiet sit down with lots of comfy seating, good vegetarian food...

Not only is this kind of use getting around API restrictions, it is also a superior way to do search: Specify arbitrary preferences upfront instead of a search box and trawling different modalities of content to get better result. The possibilities for wellness use cases are endless, especially for end users that care about privacy and less screen use.

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 s…

Honestly, this is going to be huge for healthcare. There's an incredible amount of waste due to incumbent tech making interoperability difficult.

Or you'll start getting a captcha while trying to pump insulin

I have to agree. I've been chatting with Claude for the first time in a couple days and while it's very on-par with ChatGPT 4o in terms of capability, it has this difficult-to-quantify feeling of being warmer and friendlier to interact with. I think the human name, serif font, system prompt, and tendency to create visuals contributes to this feeling.

>it's very on-par with ChatGPT 4o in terms of capability The previous 3.5 Sonnet checkpoint was already better than GPT-4o in terms of programming and multi-language capabilities. Also, GPT-4o sometimes feels completely moronic, for example, the other day I asked for fun a technical question about configuring a "dream-sync" device to comply with the "Personal Consciousness Data Protection Act", and GPT-4o just replie…

I just asked 4o and it provided a reasonable response: https://chatgpt.com/share/67181041-4ce8-8005-a117-ec97a8a780...

I tried many times and none of them were reasonable, so you must have been quite lucky.

How long until it is profitable the tell a cheap AI to "win this game by collecting resources and advancing in-game" and then sell the account on eBay?

I wonder what optimizations could be made? Could a gold farmer have the directions from one AI control many accounts? Could the AI program simpler bots for each bit of the game?

I can imagine not being smart enough to play against computers, because I am flagged as a bot. I can imagine a message telling me I am banned because "nobody but a stupid bot would score so low."

Anthropic blog post outlining the research process: https://www.anthropic.com/news/developing-computer-use Computer use API documentation: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/compute... Computer Use Demo: https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts/tree/mai...

Thanks for these. Wonder how many people will use this at work to pretend that they are doing work while they listen to a podcast.

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.

maybe the boomer advice of "just go walk in with a resume and a firm handshake" will finally start being worth something
