@ColinMcGinn2 @ChurchlandPaul The coastline problem is emblematic of the imperfection of categories that Churchland seizes on, but the uselessness of eliminative materialism. Coastlines aren't measurable because the Platonic ideal is wrong, but we don't eliminate the category of coastline.

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

@ColinMcGinn2 @ChurchlandPaul Isaac Asimov's notion of Wronger than Wrong is the way out of the eliminativist trap. The notion that the earth is a sphere is less wrong than the notion that it's flat. The notion that it's a spheroid is less wrong than the notion that it's a sphere.

@ChurchlandPaul @ColinMcGinn2 Your use of 'science' in that sentence is itself supernatural. Mechanistic: "Human beings studying and experimenting discovered things and made explanations and those discoveries propagated through the culture. Supernatural: "Science proves human discoveries."

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

Paul Churchland never fleshed out a distinction between mechanism and non-mechanism. Nor did he ever piece together how we derive mechanistic explanations from ad hoc experiences. So he treats science like God (a globally coherent means of deriving all ad hoc experience).

[Paul Churchland @ChurchlandPaul]

@ColinMcGinn2 Like I said before, everything we experience can be explained through science. We are just living, walking things of neurons and chemicals. Nothing more. You have no proof of the existence of consciousness.

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

@ChurchlandPaul The problem is that the cave metaphor is grounded in how the brain processes sensory information and turns it into memory. All experiences are ad hoc, things just happen to us. Explanations are DERIVED, but memories are stored ad hoc. God / Science give global coherence to this.

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

@ChurchlandPaul What makes a category eliminatable? Presumable an unknown reality capable of surprising us is the arbiter of the elimination process. But your philosophy very definitely presupposed final categories that can't be eliminated, which is logically equivalent to a Platonic ideal form.

@aryanlabde Seriously, instead of ruining animal videos, can some build a decent voice to text? Why hasn't Apple learned that the I in I'm needs to be captalized? LOL

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

Eliminative Materialism is just Plato's parable of the cave. Folk psychology is in the shadows and the coming scientific explanation is the emergence from the cave.

I have a prediction. AI is going to make it possible to get coding jobs with a high school diploma and scientific research jobs with a bachelor's degree. People with data science degrees will be the first beneficiaries of this.

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

@HackingDave yes, that's exactly what happened to me this week. I used it the same amount as last week when I didn't go over my limit. This week the limit ran out after three days and now I've spent 450 dollars in overage fees since Monday. There's no way they aren't overbilling.

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

@Yuchenj_UW It did indirectly. I had claude code build me a turbotax competitor on my site Spoxis. Won't be market ready in time for the tax deadline, but will be usable next year.

[NZ ☄️ @CodeByNZ]

Anthropic is doing everything right except fixing their usage limit issues and i’m sick of it.

[BridgeMind @bridgemindai]

100% session usage on Claude Code.

Rate limited again using Claude Opus 4.6.

At this point you are guaranteed to hit your 5 hour limit on the $200/month Max plan during peak hours.

Every single day.

Anthropic is not selling you unlimited coding.

They're selling you a timer.

[Kappaemme @Kappaemme1926]

Saying “hello” to Claude on the Pro plan just consumed almost 2% of the entire session usage.

One message.
“Hello there, how are you?”
That’s it.

This is why so many people are moving to Codex right now(like me), because it feels almost impossible to hit the limits there.

Anthropic needs to fix this before they lose the huge number of developers they recently gained.

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

@Prathkum If I have anything to say about it, that will not last very long.

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

@dramaricic That's been my struggle. The first chance I get to sue them I will take it.

[Dragan Maricic @dramaricic]

Claude:
I fixed all files, they are bug free.

Me:
Log in button doesn't work.

Claude:
You're right! Let me check files....Checking...

You've hit your limit...

[Ewan Morrison @MrEwanMorrison]

Claude is falling apart

[The Birthmarked Traveler @dbrockert]

@bridgemindai @claudeai up to 383 dollars in extra use credits in under 3 days. I'm beyond furious. I will NEVER FORGET how Anthropic treated me.
