I've used 27% of my #ClaudeAI usage for today and all I have to show for it is a series of messages where I ask in various ways for Claude to turn pasted copy into an artifact so we can work on it together. All it has been able to give back to me are markdown files that I can't comment on.

Hard agree here. This is why I don't use ChatGPT. I don't trust them at all to be responsible with AI.

@caseynewton.bsky.social My 7 year old son is adamantly telling me that you can't say "Ballerina Cappuccina" because it means "God is a pig."
I miss the days when the only reason I knew about Italian Brain Rot was because of you.

Found a fruit nearby. Claude was convinced it was a crab apple (even though the inside looked nothing like an apple). Gemini was convinced it was a guava. ChatGPT couldn't figure it out. Perplexity said it was a feral plum.
Perplexity was right.

The entertainment industry is wild. Just heard about a guy in the 50s (Tad something) who just wandered by a record studio and the execs thought, "He's good looking. He must be able to sing."
Imagine how often that happened with people who ended up not being able to sing.

TikTok has never before served me tennis content and just sent a push about the U.S. Open (right when my wife was watching).
Some might say that's because my phone was listening, but that ignores the fact that she was watching on YouTube TV, under my profile at the time.

The wildest thing is this article is so hyperfocused on SEO that it misses the bigger point:
AI thinks about brands like a human would, but with the collective sentiment as the backbone of it. In a world like that, a divisive company doesn't rate as highly.
