  • I was watching users test this out and am generally impressed. At one point, Claude tried to open Firefox, but it was not responding. So it killed the process from the console and restarted. A small thing, but not something I would have expected it to overcome this early. It’s clearly not ready for prime time (by their repeated warnings), but I’m happy to see these capabilities finally making it to a foundation model’s API. It’ll be interesting to see how much remains of GUIs (or high level programming languages for that matter) if/when AI can reliably translate common language to hardware behavior.















  • This is an inaccurate understanding of what’s going on. Under the hood is a neutral network with weights and biases, not a database of copyrighted work. That neutral network was trained on a HEAVILY filtered training set (as mentioned above, 45 terabytes was reduced to 570 GB for GPT3). Getting it to bug out and generate full sections of training data from its neutral network is a fun parlor trick, but you’re not going to use it to pirate a book. People do that the old fashioned way by just adding type:pdf to their common web search.
