“why didn’t you do them?”
“That is a good question and it merits further explanation. When you made your originally inquiry I determined that the answer you wanted to hear was “yes.” so that is the answer that I provided. Upon further reflection it is clear that your question required a more thoughtful answer. If you would like me to provide more truthful answers in the future, please amend your queries with “no cap” and I will do my best to remember that preference.”
“Why didn’t you do them?”
“This is a known issue…”
Fuck Claude
Dumb question, but…is Claude worse than GPT or Gemini?
I was under the impression that it was the lesser of evils
They are the lesser of the available evils. Anthropic, the proprietors of Claude, were blacklisted by the US administration for refusing to greenlight their technology being used for fascism.
Anthropic’s AI system was used to target the school in Minab, killing 120 students. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/03/11/us-strike-iran-elementary-school-ai-target-list/
The company is suing to be able to supply the US military again.
That’s one way to spin it.
My take on it is that it was used inappropriately, and when the fascists wanted it tailored for that abhorrent use, Anthropic refused, and in retaliation the fascists banned it for ANY use, so now Anthropic is suing to allow the sane to continue using it for it’s appropriate uses.
What sane use? And how does this company plan to prevent the fascists from using it to kill another 120 children?
The only not-evil move is to not sell dual-use goods to fascists in the first place.
You seriously can’t think of any sane use? How about categorizing large amounts of data. Brainstorming strategies for problem solving. Converting pseudo code to actual code. Troubleshooting error messages. I mean, there are dozens upon dozens of valid uses that harm no one.
How does Bic plan to prevent murderers from stabbing people with their pens? How does Toyota plan to stop drivers from committing vehicular manslaughter? How does Hewlett-Packard plan on preventing fascists from saving manifestos? How does Apple plan on preventing sexual criminals from taking pictures of their victims?
What’s that? Companies don’t need to accomplish impossible tasks to have a viable product? I guess it’s only AI that has insurmountable demands placed on them by reactionaries.
The only not-evil move is to sit in a cave using sticks, once the trees figure out how to keep cavemen from beating their children with them.
I wasn’t clear. What I meant was: what sane things could a fascist military use AI for?
“Reactionary” lmao. My friend, I use LLMs all the time. Just not the proprietary ones from companies that are in bed with fascists.
Maven is doing the targeting, not Claude.
Also the WaPo is now Bezos’ news.
And Maven used Anthropic’s AI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Maven
Yes, but not for targeting, as explained in the article I linked.
The Maven Smart System is the platform that came out of those exercises, and it, not Claude, is what is being used to produce “target packages” in Iran.
Anthropic’s AI did data analysis for Project Maven, which was a system that used data analyzed by various sources to target a school. So the AI is part of the “kill-chain” no?
There are many less evils. Use open source/weight AI like Kimi, GLM, Deepseek, Mistral, Olmo, Arcee, Minimax, Qwen, Exaone, NVidia, Sarvam…
If you don’t have the hardware to run locally, you can pay for API. If you find the company problematic for whatever reason, you can switch to the same model served by a third party (possible because the model weights are publicly released).
Or you could just not use LLMs. Fuck AI.
Other than wanting a verbose answer to a question, what is it for?
For me I just use it to get verbose answers to questions.
I use open-weight LLM over search engines when I can, because Google/Bing/Yandex are complete proprietary black boxes run by corporations of questionable morality.
In what manner? Capabilities, or belonging to an evil corporation that happily steals data and works to undermine democracy?

Claude is almost always the better model compared to GPT. I find that this is a good leaderboard. However, both Claude and GPT have similar business models: make sure everything they do is completely proprietary, and keep everything behind a monthly paywall. They both run massive data centers to train their models, and neither really deserves the term “Artificial Intelligence”.
I just started with Claude and I can’t yet distinguish when it has actually done something it says it has done. With ChatGPT I can see through the bullshit quite well by now. At first I was happy when I thought Claude was rid of that bullshit, but turns out it’s just a different type of bullshit.
The UI and file handling is better in Claude though, and supposedly you can make it create skills which are like instruction booklets on how to do some tasks and then export and share them. But the ones I created were lost during the weekend so I’m not sure how robust they actually are.
less of the evils. That being said as far as quality goes Claude has taken a very noticeable decline in quality within the past several months. used to be half decent but now 8 to 9 times out of 10 you’re going to get an hallucination for a solution. Anthropic has REALLY dropped the ball with Claude and Claude code. absolute garbage LLM now.

If you asked Claude to build you a house it would build you the most beautiful house, and then you’d go inside and you’d be like, “Claude there’s no bathrooms.” And Claude would say, “There were no bathrooms before either, so it’s actually a pre-existing issue”
Gemini: Ah you ran into the classic partner issue…
Thinking out loud for a second…
Oh, so it’s like having a teenager in the house.
One without attitude but lots of dumb excuses
The stuck-on residue is real.
But here’s the brutal reality: it’s not just residue; it’s residon’t.
Options:
- A: (recommended) do the dishes
- B: don’t do the dishes
- C: mix of both
C, ah, the ADHD special
How do you pronounce Claude? Like Arnold Schwarzenegger saying “cloud”?
like clawd
One of my dutch co-workers pronounces it “cloud”, which was a little confusing when we were moving to *spits* Azure
Feel that pain, Azure already resembling a proving ground for testing weaponized bad naming.
Ah yes I’ll try to search for technical details about a Function, cool how they named one of the most common Azure resource types using possibly the single most overloaded word in computer science.
Good thing they engineered and documented it all really great so no one has to find esoteric solutions to half baked implementations of things with names that sound maliciously generic!
Genuinely made me laugh.
Should have set the effort level to “high”
