The launch experience of the first version of Cubic did a poor job telling what it was. I think the new screen does a better job 🤔What do you think?

Something I think about quite a bit www.itsnicethat.com/articles/creati…

“Know your ‘why’ behind what you want to prove”
Achieving ‘success’ in creative education is interesting when it comes to transitioning into a workplace environment, because it’s not one-to-one comparable. Education has its set boundaries (essays, modules, terms, years) which don’t necessarily translate to working in the field. So, if you’re a high-achiever in education, your ‘success’ may not necessarily look or feel the same in the workplace. In this week’s Creative Career Conundrums, Kat Wong, founder of career change platform Oh Yeah, mulls over this issue, discussing how to not let one’s past successes define your day-to-day.

Claude's watermarking implementation (based on Google Deepmind's work) is actually kind of interesting www.anthropic.com/news/claude-text-…
anthropic.com
How Claude's text watermarking works
Future Claude models will generate text that contains a watermark. This is a way of determining the likelihood that Claude was involved in writing the text, and we, along with several other major AI providers, are implementing this change to comply with the EU AI Act. In this article, we share answers to some of the questions we’ve received about how our chosen watermarking method works, whether it affects Claude’s outputs, and why we’re making this change.
