@ryancbriggs counterpoint: this is, in fact, a right wing belief

@cremieuxrecueil @alexolegimas Pangram actually works. try it with many paragraphs and experiment with LLM text & real text. I was genuinely surprised. Their methods papers are also very clever. I'm still actually very surprised it works so well.

@richkuo7 @ccccjjjjeeee @mehulsharmamat @mehulmpt atlassian already has huge user base and ways to get new product in front of them...? couldn't they just recreate dia or arc or anything even 10x better with far less than 600m?? The explanation still doesn't make sense, in other words

*sniff* *pulls shirt* You know, this is perfect - *gestures wildly* - this is the ultimate perversity of capitalism at its purest. Here we have Anthropic, this company claiming to build "AI for humanity," and what do they do? They create this digital cocaine, this Claude Code, and then - *sniff* - they act surprised when people become addicted to it! "Oh, some users are running it 24/7" - but of course! This is not a bug, this is a feature! They created the perfect productivity drug, the ultimate tool of self-exploitation under late capitalism, where the worker voluntarily chains himself to the machine, coding through the night, becoming one with the algorithm. *touches nose* And then comes the beautiful part - *laughs darkly* - "one user consumed tens of thousands in model usage on a $200 plan." My God! This is pure comedy! They are shocked - SHOCKED! - that someone would extract surplus value from their system. But isn't this exactly what capitalism teaches us? To maximize profit, to exploit every inefficiency? This user is the perfect neoliberal subject! He understood the game better than Anthropic themselves! *waves hands frantically* But no, no, no - now they must introduce "limits." You see the perversity? First, they create infinite desire - "Claude will code for you forever!" - and then they introduce scarcity. This is how capitalism functions: it promises unlimited jouissance, unlimited enjoyment, but always pulls it back at the last moment. "You can have it all... but not really." And the most obscene part - *sniff* - they frame this as caring for the community! "This impacts capacity for all Claude users." This is the same logic as ecological austerity - we must all suffer equally for the common good, while the real problem is the system itself! They created a monster and now blame the users for feeding it! *adjusts shirt* You know what this really is? It's the perfect metaphor for our predicament with AI. We create these systems that promise to liberate us from work, but instead, they become new masters. The user running Claude Code 24/7 - he is not free, he is the most enslaved! He has internalized the demand for infinite productivity so completely that he needs an AI to keep up with his own superego's demands! *sniff* And so on...

We’re rolling out new weekly rate limits for Claude Pro and Max in late August. We estimate they’ll apply to less than 5% of subscribers based on current usage.

@lbeurerkellner The github mcp is indeed at fault if the default setting is full access to private repos, no?

work like this (among a few other reasons, probably) is why we shouldn't defund academia

@nikitabier @HeinrichKuttler @pull_gs So phone companies are just reading everyone’s SMSs like that? That’s what the STOP trick implies.

@mervenoyann but this won't work for creating & searching a database of millions of files right? One still needs to create an inverted index and all that stuff for bm25. Not clear how this solves those problems??
