How tho? Will Claude be looking over our proverbial shoulders now, and if whatever we type just so happens to be word-for-word what it said, it can magically flag it?

What I’m saying is that if someone just types verbatim what Claude says, instead of just going “Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V”, that completely undermines this whole thing.

As I’ve said in response to a number of articles about this, all this means is that when someone wants to use Claude’s output for something, they just need to remember to manually type it in now, rather than just copy-paste it. Practically speaking, this changes nothing.

“Teenager” is a fairly broad spectrum of age; there’s a big difference between 13 & 17. You should pick something geared toward his approximate point of psycho-intellectual development. I personally would suggest tinnitus sounds, the kind of droning bass that literally makes the house shake, or an earrape version of “Reveille” accompanied by you banging on something metal, like Sgt. Hartman from Full Metal Jacket.

I mean, so long as he doesn’t make them go out of pocket themselves for it…

The two-party “A or B, this or that” thing in America is FAR from an optimal means of politics, but always remember: your most important right as a citizen is voting for your legislative representatives and local/state/national leaders. It’s your civic duty.

-Autistic

-White

-Debatable whether I have a soul or not

Where does that leave me?

I like to think that Washington DC is the fourth, seeing as it’s the national capital, the political & historical center of America, and the fact that things that happen in DC have not just national, but international effects.

Also a fair bit of personal bias tbh, seeing as I live in the metro area.

I was 14 in 2016; I lived in a red town back then & all I knew was “funny old blonde realtor who says dumb memeable shit on TV & Twitter is gonna be president? PEAK COMEDY ROFLMFAOOL”

10 years later, I have since been thoroughly disabused of that immature, uneducated teenage mindset.

I go down to Manassas for class sometimes; GMU’s Sci-Tech campus is adjacent-to-if-not-surrounded-by a good half-dozen data centers. You can see them from I-66.

I’m in the US, but still, maybe getting booted off of there was the universe trying to tell me something.

From the US:

Nuclear power represents the intermediate stage between hydrocarbon/petrochemical/fossil fuels and fully renewable (solar/wind/geothermal) energy; an eventual full transition to nuclear power, even as a de facto stopgap until renewable energy infrastructure can handle the power demands of today, is ultimately the correct course of action, especially if the intention is to reduce and ultimately eliminate CO2 & other greenhouse gas emissions to slow global warming & climate change.
