Some other posts on the blog: "How educators use Claude", "Anthropic National Security". They know what they're doing here and good for them.

As a thought experiment, consider how much monetary loss and how much time wasted you would tolerate before "it's just money bro" starts wearing thin.

This forum has been decreasing in quality since its inception, currently hovering at not-quite-reddit and that's with an organic audience of tech-adjacent posters. It would turn into a smoking hole in the ground if it somehow caught worldwide attention.

You're a fish swimming in fragile water you fail to appreciate.

Those seven billion people aren't very good for the most part, and include a critical mass of spectacularly awful people. It turns out that public access forums calibrated for the small and self-selected community of mostly high quality internet pioneers aren't prepared to deal with 1000000x expansion of reachable audience. The Eternal September effect has been getting stronger ever since it's first been observed.

Does it really? Some classes of crime have been narrowed down to the same 50 individuals. You can't model car break-ins as everybody in the area rolling the dice on getting a taste for breaking glass and grabbing things.

You should go back and add error handling to your C programs

Unreasonable people can disagree on the exact threshold. Sometimes they decide that 10,000,000xers are out of reach, but gullible upper middle class schlubs like you and I are quite ripe for the looting.

What a strange thing to be disappointed in. Would you say you prefer the depressive part of the internet that has no interest in people?

Whoa, no need to get emotional. You're coming up with all these excuses and deflections against systematically consuming the benign and/or healthy canola oil. Why is that?

Yes, exactly! Science is a fantastic way to discover truths about reality and apply them to your own life. For example, putting 15 grams of canola oil in your daily breakfast cereal.

I think you should try eating three teaspoons of heart-healthy canola oil with breakfast and document the results to dunk on garbage science peddlers.
