The future (the PRESENT): You are only allowed to program computers with the permission of mega corporations. When Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini have banned you, you must leave the industry. When you sign up, you must provide legal assurance that no LLM has ever banned you (much like applying for insurance). If true then you will be denied permission to program - banned by one, banned by all.

And not only that, but YOU need to pay to work, starting at only 199 per month.

I recently found out that there's no such thing as Anthropic support. And that made me sad, but not for reasons that you expect. Out of all of the tech organizations, frontier labs are the one org you'd expect to be trying out cutting edge forms of support. Out of all of the different things these agents can do, surely most forms of "routine" customer support are the lowest hanging fruit? I think it's possible for An…

There was that experiment run where an office gave Claude control of its vending machine ordering with… interesting results.

My assumption is that Claude isn’t used directly for customer service because:

1) it would be too suggestible in some cases

2) even in more usual circumstances it would be too reasonable (“yes, you’re right, that is bad performance, I’ll refund your yearly subscription”, etc.) and not act as the customer-unfriendly wall that customer service sometimes needs to be.

We really need some law to stop "you have been banned and we won't even tell you actual reason for it", it's become a plague, made worse with automated systems giving out a ban

IMO every ban should have a dedicated web page containing ban reasons and proofs, which affected person can challenge, use in court or share publicly.

LLMs are kind of fun to play with (this is a website for nerds, who among us doesn’t find a computer that talks back kind of fun), but I don’t really understand why people pay for these hosted versions. While the tech is still nascent, why not do a local install and learn how everything works?

Because my local is a laptop and doesn't have a GPU cluster or TPU pod attached to it.

If you have enough RAM, you can run Qwen A3B models on the CPU.

All this just seems like a slippery slop on the road to censorship to free speech and behavior control.

Best Freudian slip I’ve seen in years!

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them. Frank Herbert, Dune, 1965

So why didn't this happen with electricity, water and food, but would with thinking capacity?

Try to get banned from any of these, or from the banking system, and find out

Same goes for HN, yet it does not take kindly to certain expressions either.

I suppose the trouble is that machines do not operate without human involvement, so for both HN and ChatGPT there are humans in the loop, and some of those humans are not able to separate strings of text from reality. Silly, sure, but humans are often silly. That is just the nature of the beast.

Wait what? I keep insulting ChatGPT way worse on a weekly basis (to me it's just a joke, albeit a very immature one). This is new to me that this behavior has any consequences. It never did for me.

Do people actually use this mode? Having to approve diffs in the ide is too annoying.

Depends on my task. If it’s complex and my expectation is for Claude to get things wrong the diff preview is helpful.

Even then, I'd wait until it's had a chance to iterate and correct itself in a loop before I'd even consider looking at the output, or I end up babysitting it to prevent it from making mistakes it'd often recognise and fix itself if given the chance.
