Great distraction from the real news which is the suspected theft of 1B customer records from Salesforce.

The most valuable data AI companies have now is user inputs - Estimated at 2.5B per day for OpenAI.

In addition to training AI on a huge corpus of knowledge, they'll teach them to predict what the user will ask next.

One day we'll use their service and it will give us a response with no prompt 😀

I feel this weird change in the world like there's a kind of conscious awakening happening. Connecting with new people and sharing ideas.

It's really quite refreshing amongst all the other bad stuff going on.

I wiped and sent my echo dots for recycling a few weeks ago. I think a custom local home voice assistant is the way to go from now on.

Then you give them the price and the person with the idea says "that's too expensive to write an app - anybody can write apps"

Anybody eh? 🤣

Anyone hacked Claude code yet to make it work with local models?

If not I know a guy,Claude, who'll do it for me.

Jonathan Baker @jonathan.boxcake.net · Mar 7

Two comments on Claude Code.

1. It is very good
2. It eats tokens for lunch and is prohibitively expensive for the kinds of tasks you would need it for.

What are the constraints?

Built in knowledge only, or can I pass it the EPS spec?

Can I use agents with various roles working together, or only a single instance of a model?

Jonathan Baker @jonathan.boxcake.net · Mar 2

What have you tried? This doesn't seem like a huge challenge.

Jonathan Baker @jonathan.boxcake.net · Mar 1

Oh yes that was great.

To imagine your friend maybe or maybe not doing.

I can imagine putting mixtures like that in metal tubes made from aluminum foil and lighting them with slow burn fuses. sometimes with sulphur and charcoal in as well.

Must have been fun times I never ever participated in.

Got into the Claude code agent preview. Either scarcity wasn't a real thing or they liked my python and a nice message I left.

Either way - 😍
