I've begun to find the writing style nauseating regardless of use, but yes, at least it isn't used to pad length.

Could they not gate this behind a notification on install?

I’ve grown to appreciate this aspect of standard examination as I’ve gotten older. Everyone wants to say “oh, you can just look it up now”, but how can you come up with higher level thinking, when you don’t have the fundamentals in your mind?

90% of my usage of it is because it actually displays the map on my Watch, whereas Google Maps & Citymapper only show directions.

If it weren't for that, I'd use Citymapper for practically everything.

God, I miss Android so much. iOS still annoys me. The app situation is sadly better on iOS, though.

I’m surprised they’ve said it so confidently given how it completely collapsed last time…

Man, I cannot imagine how nice it must to be to work with leadership like this, who just gets it.

AI is also based on how we write. Some people are bound to write in a similar vein to LLMs naturally. See this person’s blog about it [0].

Ditto. I've found it pretty tolerable once I've used "ShutUp10!" to disable the annoying stuff. I've used harder tools than it, but I've then found it breaks useful stuff (like the Xbox Gaming stuff, which some MSFT games use).

> Claude Haiku 4.5, a new hybrid reasoning large language model from Anthropic in our small, fast model class.

> As with each model released by Anthropic beginning with Claude Sonnet 3.7, Claude Haiku 4.5 is a hybrid reasoning model. This means that by default the model will answer a query rapidly, but users have the option to toggle on “extended thinking mode”, where the model will spend more time considering its response before it answers. Note that our previous model in the Haiku small-model class, Claude Haiku 3.5, did not have an extended thinking mode.

Yes look at this article showing all of the wonderful anti-social behaviour prevented by smart glasses: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx23ke7rm7go

(hint: smart glasses encourage anti social behaviour for online clout.)

This is it - you’ve got to be deliberate in scrolling immediately past anything remotely thirst-trappy, otherwise the algorithm hyperfixates. And then overstay your welcome at the type of content you want to see.

In my experience, it has worked (my discover page is an amalgamation of classic Simpsons, Dropout.tv, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?, while my Reels feed is unhinged in the right way.) But also I’ve stopped using it because my brain was melting.

Daniel is a smart man. He's been frustrated by slop, but he has equally accepted [0] AI-derived bug submissions from people who know what they are doing.

I would imagine Anthropic are the latter type of individual.
