Re: Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
#482This is actually a huge deal. As someone building AI SaaS products, I used to have the position that directly integrating with APIs is going to get us most of the way there in terms of complete AI automation. I wanted to take at stab at this problem and started researching some daily busineses and how they use software. My brother-in-law (who is a doctor) showed me the bespoke software they use in his practice. Runni…
Not to mention software like peoplesoft, SAP and servicenow. Absolute shit interfaces that employees have to deal with day in and day out.
Now, an in-house tool built on top of this Anthropic API can save hours of drudgery. I can already see sales teams smiling at the new 'submit your expense report' button.

#483Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's exactly it. I've been peddling my vision of "AI automation" for the last several months to acquaintances of mine in various professional fields. In some cases, even building up prototypes and real-user testing. Invariably, none have really stuck. This is not a technical problem that requires a technical solution. The problem is that it requires human behavior change. In the context of AI automation, the promis…
There's a huge huge gap between "coaxing what you want out of it" and "trusting it to perform flawlessly". Everybody on the planet would use #2, but #1 is just for enthusiasts. AI is squarely #1. You can't trust it with your credit card to order groceries, or to budget and plan and book your vacation. People aren't picking up on AI because it isn't good enough yet to trust - you still have the burden of responsibilit…
Siri, Alexa and Amazon Dash illustrate this well. I remember everyones excitement and massive investment about these, and we all know how that turned out. I'm not sure how many times we'll need to relearn that unless an automation works >99% of the time AND fails predictably, people don't use it for anything meaningful.

#484This needs more discussion: Claude using Claude on a computer for coding https://youtu.be/vH2f7cjXjKI?si=Tw7rBPGsavzb-LNo (3 mins) True end-user programming and product manager programming are coming, probably pretty soon. Not the same thing, but Midjourney went from v.1 to v.6 in less than 2 years. If something similar happens, most jobs that could be done remotely will be automatable in a few years.
and how is Midjourney doing? did it change the world?

#485This is incredibly cool but it seems like the potential damage from a "hallucination" in this mode is considerable, especially when they provide examples of it going very far off-track (looking up Yellowstone pictures). Would basically need constant monitoring for me not to be paranoid it did something stupid.
Also seems like a privacy issue with them sending screenshots of your device back to their servers.

#486And 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.”
With all the buzz around "agent" I'm surprised they didn't brand it "Computer Agent"

#487I am curious why "upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet" instead of simply Claude 3.6 Sonnet? Minor version increment is a standard way of versioning update. Am i missing something or it is just Anthropic marketing?
Re: Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
#488Great work by Anthropic! After paying for ChatGPT and OpenAI API credits for a year, I switched to Claude when they launched Artifacts and never looked back. Claude Sonnet 3.5 is already so good, specially at coding. I'm looking forward to testing the new version if it is, indeed, even better. Sonnet 3.5 was a major leap forward for me personally, similar to the GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 bump back in the day.
How are you using it with coding?

Idk, LLMs have basically stopped improving for over a year now. And in their current state no matter how many abstractions you add to them - or chain them - they are not even close capable to replace even simple jobs.
Agreed. The jump from GPT3.5 to GPT4 was truly mind blowing, from GPT-4 to Opus/Sonnet3.5 was pretty good, but if o1-preview really is GPT-5 then I feel like we're seeing the hype starting to collide with reality.

#490Computer use won't allow you to log in to social media accounts, even if it is your account and credentials. Bummer.
