But that's one of the first things you fix in your CLAUDE.md: - "Only do what is asked." - "Understand when being asked for information versus being asked to execute a task."

This - per extensive experiments - works about as well as when I tell my wife to calm down

Asking might work better than telling

How do you do that???? Say the words but in the form of a question? I feel like that will go a lot worse than just telling (but nicely). I have a daughter too so I am genuinely willing to try anything

Please and thank you and make sure you’re addressing the behaviour and not the person.

But is anthropic trying to solve it? The current permissions solution is unbelievably poor for a product with this much traction.

They are releasing auto-mode soon. But that won't improve the underlying permission system, rather, it'll just delegate decisions to Claude. That's better than --dangerously-skip-permissions, but not great for those that want granular controls and are sensitive to the extra tokens spent.

Sensitive lad.

You can also turn off tips, but that's quite handy to learn when a new feature pops up

Oh imagine LLMs insisting on tips! 20% “voluntary”.

The entire kernel on every arch is 40 million lines, but the kernel running on your desktop is probably less than 2 million of those lines.

it's more the way they do them.. you've used them right?

Sure but I don't find them irreplaceable. Actually anthropic models have dropped out of my top ten usage this month. I only use opus occasionally for writing plans, its been pretty unreliable at executing.

The US is such a shit show. Personally I hope this doesn't affect Anthropic's growth and development because I quite enjoy using their products and see them evolve.

I find it very intuitive as is

it almost sounds like a personal attack on Peter Steinberger

Here’s an idea: What would happen if you changed a bunch of different bytes in an AI’s model file?
