There are pro-Trump bots that automatically try to get things removed if they paint the administration in any negative light.

Since its a tool itself, I dont see the benefit of relying on Anthropic for this. if anything it now becomes vendor lock in.

These meta features are nice, but I feel they create new issues. Like debugging. Since this tool search feature is completely opaque, the wrong tool might not get selected. Then you'll have to figure out if it was the search, and if it was how you can push the right tool to the top.

People talk about an AI bubble. I think this is the real bubble.

I think the prompt is probably at fault here. You can use LLMs for object segmentation and they do fairly well, less than 1% seems too low.

Yeah, our team of two gets two interns a semester. We cannot convert them to full time as there is no position open. Complete hiring freeze since 2022.

I wonder if the reason AI is better at these diagnostics, is because the amount of time it spends with the patient is unbounded. Whereas a doctor is always restricted by the amount of time they have with the patient.

That was my observation as well. To be fair their business is to sell a hosted version, they’re under no obligation to release a truly self hosted version.

There is some intense FOMO right now. I work for a large SAAS company and our guidelines went from no AI to "Use AI for everything everywhere". This does not come from a position of understanding (the people in charge are the same), but rather a deep fear that we could fall behind. Its not rooted in tangible metrics.

One is a machine the other one is not. People have to stop comparing LLMs to humans. Would you hold a car to human standards?

Because you also need proper access controls. In many cases database access is too low level, you need to bring it up a layer or two to know who can access what. Even more so when you want to do more than read data.

" Hello! This was a false positive in our systems at @ChainPatrol . We are retracting the takedown request, and will conduct a full post-mortem to ensure this does not happen again.

We have been combatting a huge volume of fake YouTube videos that are attempting to steal user funds. Unfortunately, in our mission to protect users from scams, false positives (very) occasionally slip through.

We are actively working to reduce how often this happens, because it's never our intent to flag legitimate videos. We're very sorry about this! Will keep you posted on the takedown retraction. "
