I can confirm that browsing the web is a thing I don't do anymore... because of AI. Reading LLM generated prose all day is not engaging, to me.

"and games from the user’s own designs and assets."

How would Claude know if the designs and assets are my own?

LLMs have made the internet unreadable. It used to be just Google search results were SEO-gamed empty prose, but now it's every blog post, news article, product announcement ... everything. I've stopped reading basically everything online except user comments on a few websites. It's the last place remaining to actually connect with other human minds, but even that seems like it won't last forever.

Eventually your car will autonomously pull over to the side of the road, lock the doors, and instruct you to wait patiently for the arriving officer. Please return your hands to the steering wheel.

There's been a headline circlulating lately: 80% of Anthropic's revenue comes from 1% of their customers. The $100/mo or however much individuals are paying doesn't seem to be material.

I had a class like this, Discrete Mathematics, with no grades or assigned homework and just a graded midterm and final. It was easily my least favorite class; I didn't know where to spend my time and spent most of the semester wandering aimlessly through the material. The final was very difficult but open book (to help make up for the lack of structure in the course?) and ended up having a ridiculous curve.

Could have also just been a bad professor though.

The public would benefit the most from an American distillation regime. The faster models become a commodity the better. Then it's truly a public good.

If 3blue1brown instead made programming videos, and said "There's never been a better time to go into computer science" ... well, I just wouldn't believe them.
