The new Claude Tag feature seems extremely useful, but at the same time, a dangerous bargain for enterprises because of the pricing model and the risk of lock-in. The four big changes together mean that you interact with Claude as a coworker instead of a tool (the same Claude instance for everyone instead of each worker; soaks up tacit knowledge without your telling it; acts on its own; and does so asynchronously). All clearly very useful, but completely flips the interaction paradigm. https://t.co/iWpePXGiL8

Let’s talk about lock-in. As far as I can tell, Claude maintains its own memories in this new way of working; the human team members can’t see and edit them. (System administrators presumably can, but they have other things to do!) Tacit knowledge thus goes from a weakness of AI agents to a major strength — it seems inevitable that as teams and orgs start to use Claude this way, it will become the main queryable repository of all their tacit knowledge, creating dependence and stickiness. Effectively, Claude is a coworker that you can’t fire without *every* team losing workflows and know-how.

By the way, it also seems to introduce a new and pervasive security risk, since Claude can be integrated into private channels as well, and can be given access to repositories and tools even if the users in that channel don’t have access to them. Anthropic has introduced an interesting but complicated access control model to handle all this: https://t.co/l4oB5SVk9r But I’m not sure I trust people to understand and implement it correctly, nor the LLMs to be sufficiently robust against threats like prompt injection.

What about pricing? Claude is not like regular coworkers, because it bills for every token it produces. And it can do an unbounded amount of work, asynchronously and without being asked. In the current model, when AI is a tool, enterprises set per-user budgets, which creates accountability and keeps cost somewhat manageable. When everyone shares a Claude, it will be much harder to track and control spending. Of course you can set a token budget, but turning off Claude for the month for everybody when the budget is hit risks bringing work to a screeching halt.

When AI companies talk about the next stage of AI being a “drop-in replacement” for human workers, it should be understood not as a technical innovation but a business model innovation, enabling more value capture and rent extraction. AI companies are no longer competing for a share of enterprises’ IT budgets but rather a share of their entire labor spend, which is orders of magnitude bigger. Claude Tag is a big milestone in this evolution. This shift is very good for AI companies, but it is unclear if it is good for their customers.

Futurist Ray Kurzweil Tells Joe Rogan AI Will Achieve Human-level Intelligence by 2029

"We're not quite there, but we will be there, and by 2029 it will match any person. I'm actually considered conservative. People think that will happen next year or the year after.

I actually said that in 1999. I said we would match any person by 2029. So 30 years, people thought that was totally crazy.

In fact, Stanford had a conference that invited several hundred people from around the world to talk about my prediction, and people thought that this would happen, but not by 2029. They thought it would take 100 years."

If I was President, here’s what I would do…

1) I would entirely close the border. Secure every square inch, not a single illegal soul gets through. Locked down.

2) DEI would be banned. Every corporation will hire the best possible people regardless of background.

3) No more money for Ukraine. Biden’s buddy can figure it out. The war needs to end.

4) I will make sure to put the real coke back in Coca-Cola.

5) I will make it a federal law that every single McDonalds must have a 24/7 functioning Milkshake machine, and if not, free burgers for everyone.

6) No more trading in congress. If you’re a member, you’re not allowed to trade public equities. Simple.

7) All major social media platforms must allow for free speech; no more censorship.

8) Mandatory yearly cage fight between Elon Musk & Lizard boy

9) We will fight like the Roman’s did. Let’s get back to the old ways.

10) Minimum and maximum age for public officials. If you are out of the threshold, you must pass a cognitive test.

11) If you’re voting in elections, you must show up in person, with a valid government ID. Otherwise, no votes.

12) The only DEI allowed will be Mark Cuban hiring a diverse team on the Mavs.

Although I could keep going, I will stop here.

Tesla to the moon.
Mars is the goal.
I love humanity.
