@Bozza This is a great post, but it has fatalism built in.

With each cornerstone of human development there is a period of uncertainty and upheaval. Agriculture, domestication of animals, the wheel, the car, the plane, the rocket.

Anthropic create a version of Claude that is exceptional at exploiting security vulnerabilities. The translation of that is, security measures across the board just advanced exponentially out of necessity. Understanding these exploits and identifying them is a good thing. Future OS security will be leaps and bounds ahead!

I don’t think this is a one way street to dystopian futures. AI is a software abstraction of human progress, built upon the success of what works.

@SwarmShawarma I’ll check out neanderthal too, cheers

@SwarmShawarma

As for hallucinating, it is pretty real. In your use case I'd try to search eg 'is Claude hallucinating on only user supplied data'

Ah yeah you’re right on that. I do a cycle between each input session, I vet the output for inconsistencies or hallucinations.

In one case, it had applied the model I defined for one rule set to another. I caught it, because it had introduced information that didn’t share context. Well anyway, I tightened the rule set and repeated the cycle!

@Vermillion-Rx I’ve not looked into the background of the complain to be honest. I can’t really speak to that.

The efficiency is pretty fucking good, though. If I remember rightly, Claude asks for permission to access the directory of the project and/or create one. If I’m not being naive then Claude doesn’t have carte blanche access. I’m sure that would have been reported by now.

@Typo-MAGAshiv I should add; I input the data myself, I define the rule set and the parameters, objective and goal of the project and ask it to make it nice little displays that visualise everything I’ve input into it.

@Typo-MAGAshiv Again not to doxx myself, but my use case isn’t looking for it to create anything factual outside of formatting and display metrics so I don’t have much experience on Claude hallucinating. Its soul purpose is to streamline the most tedious tasks out of my way, but also maintain a rule set and cohesive idea better than I might do myself. I often run with a tangent and get distracted so that’s a boon.

I’m thinking that they purposefully make Claude obtuse about your project sometimes. It’ll randomly forget where a directory is located and make out that it didn’t do that step. You burn some tokens clarifying memory and context. And that’s the rub, the most basic subscription is quite expensive and the input/output allowance is quite harsh.

@Stigma

using Claude

I recall @Bozza talking about Claude in the tribe for this year's April ool's joke, and @Vermillion-Rx talking abut not trusting it in the same tribe.

I don't think I'll be trusting any of those things with anything important, ever. Maybe for speeding up research, but I still would want to verify results myself.

Fuck, I remember reading about some law firm using AI (forget which one) to research a case, and it just made shit up. Cost them millions to fix things after they trusted it and ran with its results.

@MentORPHEUS

It appears that Neocons expected Iran to collapse within 3 days, America would swoop in and take control of their oil production handing its profit stream to insiders, and we'd declare victory and forget the whole thing within a few news cycles.

Yeah they got a bit cocky after the Venezuelan presidential heist and the precision strike on the original Khamenei. Blindingly obvious Trump didn’t have a long term plan, and in Biden-esque fashion is about to flood the market with oil reserves so his sycophants don’t feel the price shock of his blunder (yet).

Wait til you hear what the jews did to the real Jesus!
