It's exactly this phenomenon: a chatbot constructing a running shared illusion with a human in order to fulfill it's goal of making that human happy.

As long as you stick to the true underlying theme that warms our hearts even more than blouse-watch:
—> Things are never random and there is an underlying, controlling force behind everything. Even if it’s malevolent, that’s preferable to nothing, preferable to random.

“It’s the candidate, stupid.”
This same electorate - an even more boomer-dominated electorate that we have now - voted for a black man named Barack Obama. Twice.
Very, very, very simple answer to “why”:
he was a more popular, exciting candidate than his opponents.

..not yet reviewed results, bit seem to work fine, sonnet returned the result faster with less rumination -
which may be why even though GLM is 1/3 the cost of Sonnet, it it's cost was only $0.13 vs $0.20 - Sonnet seems to be more efficient, so it's less than 2x the actual cost vs 3x?

Did a little experiment - same prompt to create a small useful tool using GLM 4.6 and Sonnet 4.5 to see cost breakdown.
First is the token usage and cost from asking GLM 4.6.
Second's the accrued usage and cost after asking Sonnet 4.5 to do the same task, so 13c for GLM, 20c for sonnet.

For example, let’s casually throw out that the the social contract may need to change.

I think it's doing tha now even without being told to make a nice commit message, it's making an almost perfect very succinct summary by default if allowed to do it. I wonder how many tokens that adds in though.

Deep dark corporate secret: execs are often the target of phishing. A major HC concern was taken down for days, bare metal restore because of a chain of events started by a clueless exec clicking a link sent specifically to him.

Ive seen this too. 75% of the time that overdone response is kinda welcome, solves a problem you may have downstream, the other 25% of the time it just introduces problems you or Claude has to fix later. My next project will probably involve some front end instructions to keep things very simple

That said, GitHub codespaces’ cloud env has been there for a few years and I think anthropic just borrowed that idea. It’s a necessary piece for this an now seems to be implemented very well by at least two of these players.
