When clients just straight-up lie to me while I'm looking at contradicting facts on my dashboard.

Was telling a friend that my therapy lately feels a bit like digging up something radioactive: I'm uncovering new understandings that are infecting everything. But accepting them, wrapping my arms around them, and carrying them away hurts me even more! I can only hope the ground will heal once I do.

Four panel comic. In the first panel a therapist points at a mound on the ground, and says "Let's see what might be hurting you," to a patient in pain. In the second panel, the patient digs it up to find a radioactive mass. In the third panel, they pick it up, even though it makes them even sicker, and begin to carry it away. But in the fourth panel, the ground is starting to heal.

This is the kind of stuff I love about building with #Claude. I told it my boyfriend was coming over and he hasn't seen a bunch of must-watch movies from the 80s and 90s that I love, and asked it to make a page he could load from his phone to decide on one. Look at what it came up with:

LOVE this idea on #AI #datacenters by x.com/benthompson from Stratechery:

Instead, the most obvious solution is the most crass: simply start giving people money. If data centers are a resource for our AI future, then start paying people for that resource. If that data center up the road weren’t sold to my neighbors based on amorphous tax benefits that my local government may or may not spend appropriately, but rather were to result in a check in the mailbox every year, I suspect you could get a lot more people on board!

Just to put some numbers on this, the data center up the road was expected to be 1.6 GW, which could generate around $3 billion in annual operator revenue. DeForest, the village it was to be built in, has around 11,500 people. You could pay every person in DeForest $10,000 a year for 3.8% of annual revenue grossed by the data center — I bet that proposal would have been approved, and I bet that the operator could very easily pass those costs on to the actual data center users (it also highlights how relatively pathetic QTS’s $50 million commitment was).

I do get how ridiculous this sounds, but ridiculous is how we do things in America.

Most professionals use #AI like a vending machine: type prompt, take answer, leave. The ones getting real value treat it like a thinking partner. They iterate, provide context, push back on vague answers. progressivesforai.com/archive/issu...

AI water usage is so small when compared to golf courses and mining operations, you can't even see it on a chart. www.understandingai.org/p/16-charts-...

Bar chart comparing U.S. daily water use (billions of gallons): Mining ~4.0; household indoor leaks ~2.5; golf courses ~1.5; data centers (onsite+offsite) ~0.2; AI in data centers ~0.0. Takeaway: data centers—especially AI—use far less water than other categories.

Good to see that there are protests happening!

Anyone use @thestorygraph.com? I'm trying to figure out how to get it to give preference to gay male over hetero romance. Like, I just signed up and there's a lot of this stuff recommended which, I dunno, maybe I'll like this genre? But I'm not going to mainline books abt girls hooking up w/wolves.

Ah yes, wealthy angelenos — known for building their homes on the side of dry, windswept hills, mere steps from the ocean, and straddling fault lines — are upset at how little warning was given for tinderbox conditions that happen every year at this time.

Yes, AND, that’s always been the case. It wasn’t the gays marrying child brides (20 U.S. states do not require any minimum age for marriage), bringing their sons to Hooters, getting massive breast implants, or making movies like this 🤷‍♂️

Here's the first attempt it sent back. The final result looks a lot like this, although we did run into a bunch of problems.

A draft webpage by ClaudeAI that says "Machines of Loving Grace" at the top and then has four sections for each section of the essay in collapsible boxes below.

Fittingly, I used #ClaudeAI for this! Opened a new chat and basically just told it what I want to do. (You gotta be nice to the AI – say good morning!)

PROMPT: Good morning! I would like to set up a simple but beautiful website that's intended to take all the predictions from Dario Amodei's "Machines of Loving Grace" essay – about the future of Artificial Intelligence – and make a sort of "progress tracker" on each of them.

I would like for this website to have a hero section that explains the project, and then below that have an outline of the sections with subsections & predictions where each is summarized concisely and then there's a progress tracker for each of them.

Can I provide you the text of this essay and have you help me build this website?

ANSWER: I'd be happy to help you create a website to track predictions from Dario Amodei's essay. However, I want to note that since you haven't provided the essay text yet, I can't make specific references to its content. This is actually a good approach from a copyright perspective - once you share the text with me, I can help create summaries and tracking elements while being careful about copyright considerations.
For now, I can help you start designing the structure and layout of the website. Would you like me to create a React component for a prediction-tracking website that includes:

A hero section with:

Title
Brief project description
Visual element

A prediction tracker section with:

Categorized sections
Progress indicators
Summary cards for each prediction
Status updates

I can create this as a template that we can later populate with the specific predictions from the essay once you share it. Would you like me to proceed with creating this structure?
Also, would you prefer:

A single-page design, or multiple pages?
Any specific color scheme or visual style?
Any particular type of progress tracking visualization (e.g., progress bars, checkmarks, or something more detailed)?
