It first started as something political but I really am starting to think Anthropic is misanthropic. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The guardrails, model downgrading, limited access, watermarking and now snitching on private thoughts (I know it's technically not but people perceive it to be so and act as such). It's all getting very dystopian very fast
You might be on to something. I am one of those school nights people. Having people over will kill all "me-time" for that evening - once you get them out of the house, you do the dishes and it's straight to bed, usually. Meaning I had zero time for myself, I was hosting. The idea of having no "me-time" between two work days is hell for me. It was OK in my 20s and 30s, but not now in middle age.
South Africa is big, really big. That small sliver of land you see devoted to wine farming is not the reason they can't afford nutritious food. But it does provide those farm workers with a good income relative to other farm industries in South Africa (their wages and benefits tend to be better).
Yes even that framing is a bit extreme. It increases your risk tolerance.
So you're more open to new creative ideas, they don't even have to be that crazy, merely not the status quo.
Benchmarked output quality versus actual output quality are very different things. Some usecases are at the very fringe of model intelligence and depth of intelligence and logic suffers.
Ofcourse the AI corps are incentivized to downplay the effects of watermarking where they can, as they stand to gain so much from rolling it out (prevent model collapse).
Also interested in how this watermarking push makes sense when considering RSI.
Many people also don't see the relevance of reducing reliance in services from Russian companies or using Chinese software for critical matters either. Newsflash, not everyone has the same opinion.
Purity politics, doesn't work sorry, just highlights hypocrisy.
I can't see how this has any bearing on the functioning of Mullvad, if they were campaigning on circumventing privacy rights it'd be a different story.
Sometimes people don't want to financially support people or companies that engage in certain behaviors they consider unethical. Whether or not the product functions is irrelevant in such a situation.
It's more the soapboxing that's the issue.
I long for the days when not everything in life is given a political twist. This is a relatively recent phenomenon.
It's not related to the product at all, not even privacy policy proposal associated with the party.
Imagine feeling emboldened to share your two cents every single time because some company founder was a douche to you once and most importantly, the implied take, that everyone else should also boycott them because of this.
