Public transportation in a lot of places isn’t safe especially when traveling with women or children

Women and children aren’t inherently dangerous. If you just avoid eye contact and keep to yourself, you should be fine

This is just simply not true, not if you compare apples to apples. Cars are the most dangerous form of transportation and nothing even comes close. You're 100x more likely to die in a car above the subway in NYC than on the subway. Thats not an exaggeration, that's the actual figure.

And then people invariably talk about theft or getting beat up, forgetting that most car accidents don't kill, they injure. And they're extremely expensive.

Cars might FEEL safer because you're in a little box away from everyone else. But it's the exact same everyone else. Still the same amount of crazies and sociopaths.

Except now, they're also in little steel boxes that weight 2,000 pounds going faster than any human was ever meant to go. And they're in full control.


Must not be enough cops to either stand around and do nothing or beat the wrong guy to death then.

Taxing only the users of a good or service sounds reasonable

There are many indirect users of roads.

If you rely on businesses, services, emergency workers, etc., you rely on roads.


For only 3x the cost

Not if you optimize the context

I (and most people I ask) definitely don’t answer calls from robots or watch videos with robot voice. I’m not sure what value the customer gets here.

There’s no point in AI writing if people are going to summarize it with AI or just ask the bot for spec details.

Just give bullet points and technical specs.


Does telling the ai its an expert code reviewer actually make it more capable?

Yes :))

If it can be generated with a prompt, it has infinite supply and finite demand. It’s literally worthless in all senses of the term.

What worries me is that it’s reducing the value of actual engineering work (or good quality art). It’s like car lemons. Their existence also reduces the value of the good quality work


> It’s literally worthless in all senses of the term.

I think that misunderstands the economics:

For a long time we've been able to generate mathematical solutions at a prompt, and yet those still have value - I still gain by having them. Email is free and ubiquitous, but still has value. Clean water, for example, is generally free and ubiquitous, but has enormous value; I'd die without it.

In the market, things are priced by their marginal value - the added value of the last one sold; your 10,000th glass of water is not as valuable as your 1st (if you have only 1). But price != value: 'price is what you pay, value is what you get'.


Clean water isn’t free? Utility bills increase year on year.

It's very cheap. If buying the next glass of water was life-and-death, how much would you pay? The current price reflects its abundance.

It’s worth it though my manager said I was an extra good little worker in my last review. (/s)

Yes please upload your code to our LLM so we can train on it to help your competitors

This is an example of an AI project not working out and getting consumed by a higher wrung in the pyramid. Who will consume Anthropic later? Can’t wait to find out
