If you can’t understand systems, see patterns, understand cause you rely on reductionist statistics. An inferior way of looking at the world.

1. those who have only used Dry Claude
2. those who have used Wet Claude

The obsession with AI for transformational use cases obscures the fact that there are a ton of small, but very positive and very meaningful, use cases across many fields.
In this case, AI note-taking significantly reduces burnout among doctors & increases their ability to focus on their patients.

This talk I gave at Harvard twelve years ago discusses Apple removing apps from the App Store for doing journalism by covering American drone strikes, and what a threat that posed to accountability. The answer then is the same as the answer now: the open web. youtu.be/9KKMnoTTHJk

the interesting assumption here is that the volume of text produced about a state of the world is correlated with that state's correspondence to reality. this is generally plausible, but not necessarily true, especially when dealing with social realities

Like they can make it say certain things (“there are only two genders,” “migration bad”) but there isn’t enough text out there in the world describing a conservative consensus reality because it’s just not a coherent thing. They can’t make a conservative Wikipedia, even synthetically

Well, this classic Nancy Mitford book on King Louis XIV was a delight.
Witty prose and so many fascinating, juicy details about the surreal opulence of Versailles.
