#472I was hoping for a moment that this meant they had come up with a design that was safe against lethal trifecta / prompt injection attacks, maybe by running everything in a tight sandbox and shutting down any exfiltration vectors that could be used by a malicious prompt attack to steal data. Sadly they haven't completely solved that yet. Instead their help page at https://support.claude.com/en/articles/13364135-using-…
Prompt injection will never be "solved". It will always be a threat.
As they love to say, do your own research ;)

Terrible advice to users: be on the lookout for suspicious actions. Humans are terrible at this.

#475What's the play after you have automated yourselves out of a job?
Retrain as a skilled worker? Expect to be the lucky winner who is cahoots with the CEO/CTO and magically gets to keep the job? Expect the society to turn to social democracy and produce UBI? Make enough money to live off investments portfolio?

Trash is a shell feature. Unless a program explicitly "moves to trash", deleting is final. Same for Word documents. So, no, there is no undo in general. There could be under certain circumstances for certain things.
I mean, I'm pretty sure it would be trivial to tell it to move files to the trash instead of deleting them. Honestly, I thought that on Windows and Mac, the default is to move files to the trash unless you explicitly say to permanently delete them.

Frequency vs. convenience will determine how big of a deal this is in practice. Cars have plenty of horror stories associated with them, but convenience keeps most people happily driving everyday without a second thought. Google can quarantine your life with an account ban, but plenty of people still use gmail for everything despite the stories. So even if Claude cowork can go off the rails and turn your digital life…
Considering the ubiquity and necessity of driving cars is overwhelmingly a result of intentional policy choices irrespective of what people wanted or was good for the public interest... actually that's quite a decent analogy for integrated LLM assistants. People will use AI because other options keep getting worse and because it keeps getting harder to avoid using it. I don't think it's fair to characterize that as c…

That’s not really reasonable to assume at all. Five minutes of research would give you a pretty strong indication of his character. The dude does not need to self-aggrandize; his reputation precedes.
To clarify, they are here to have fun, they liked the joke about cow-ork (which I did too, it was a good joke), and they had an idea on how to build up on that joke. But instead of putting in a minor effort (like 5 min in Inkscape) they write a one sentence prompt to nano-banana and think everybody will love it. Personally I don’t.
