My Experiences with Claude

After 9 months with Claude, I see things I couldn’t have imagined a year ago. You build a slideshow builder that can output both PDFs and PowerPoint presentations— in less than two days. Thinking back to my days as a programmer, I would have been thrilled if I’d managed to do that in a month.

Wenn Blaise Pascal gesagt hat, das Elend des Menschen rühre daher, dass er nicht allein in seinem Zimmer bleiben könne, fragt sich: Wer ist heutzutage noch allein in seinem Zimmer? Weil ich mit meinem Smartphone einen Avatar am Hals habe, bin ich hier und abwesend zugleich.

Bibliotheken haben sich mehr verändert als Verlage. Beide haben mit dem Digitalen zu kämpfen, aber nur eine hat verstanden, dass ihr Wert nicht im Medium liegt, sondern im Raum fürs Denken. Was haben Verlage übersehen?

We treat AI like magic authority. Wrong approach. Claude is "stochastic reasoning" - a mirror for productive inner dialogue. The key? Never surrender fundamental responsibility for what you're building.

Computers aren't just tools anymore—they're our new collective unconscious. We dream of "anything, anywhere, anytime" while feeling more powerless than ever. Burckhardt calls this our digital Don Quixote moment. martinburckhardt.substack.com/p/sch…

The atom split in 1945. The same scientists who cracked the atom gave us the internet. Now we desperately cling to fixed identities because deep down, we know we're coming apart. The solution? Accepting the cracks. As Leonard Cohen said: "That's how the light gets in."

"The art of failure might be more important than the art of success." This hit me reading about AI education. We're teaching perfection when we should be teaching curiosity. Maybe unlearning is the new learning?
