Using Generative AI

Exploring ways to use generative #AI tools such as #chatbots like #ChatGPT.

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

Last week I met with an entrepreneur who is building this into the next "Mac Mini" to run AI inferencing in the home to handle all your private stuff. Runs Hermes locally so everything stays private and so you can give your models access to your home and your finances.

More to say on this soon after he launches in a couple of weeks.

I think these will sell like hotcakes.

This is the biggest PR coup Anthropic could ever have imagined. And I mean that seriously.

Let me explain.

Aside from the fact that Anthropic is very good at presenting itself as a corporation, the recent hiring of Andrej Karpathy marked a new high point. Anthropic is showing the world that it not only employs the best researchers, but also, and especially, those who are popular within the community.

However, Anthropic also thrives on its self-imposed moral standards, some of which literally come at a price that Anthropic has repeatedly paid. As is well known, Anthropic recently had serious problems with the Department of War regarding the use of Claude for autonomous weapons. Anthropic refused, and OpenAI and Google were awarded the contract; Anthropic was designated a supply chain risk.

This moral standing, however, is something Anthropic has always emphasized. Whether it's Dario Amodei repeatedly warning of the dangers of the massive wave of unemployment (which they themselves are causing), or the potential for AI to be instrumentalized for wars.

This moral stance is now paying off handsomely. The head of the Catholic Church, with its 1.4 billion members, has thanked Anthropic and announced an ethical collaboration. Church members are, by definition, moral people who live according to the ethical principles of their faith. The Pope has now consecrated a single AI company as ethically legitimate, thus essentially granting his followers sacred legitimacy to use Claude as the only morally correct model.

I mean this seriously; let this thought sink in. The Pope says Anthropic is ethically and morally on the right side and is working with them. Who do you think the billions of Catholic believers now prefer? OpenAI, Google, or Anthropic? The answer is clear.

Therefore, today was the biggest victory Anthropic could have hoped for. And I believe that their moral stance will literally pay off.

Using Gemini Flash 3.5 in a nutshell (mind you I had to tell it this explicitly because asking it to evaluate its behavior just led to more hallucinations/fishing):

This is unusable. @antigravity @OfficialLoganK @googleaidevs

[Radha @Radha_Ber]

@OfficialLoganK @mercor_ai @OfficialLoganK It's obvious you rushed Gemini 3.5 Flash out before it was properly tuned. Users are already reporting lots of issues: hallucinations, tool use errors, context loss, and more.
You should bring back Gemini 3 and keep it available.
#BringBackGemini3 #Gemini3

[Alex-Microsmeta @microsmeta]

@GeminiApp #EpicFai return to normal limits and fix all the horrible hallucinations of #Gemini #AI #Flash 3.5

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

@apifromwithin @googleaidevs I saw hallucinations right away on simple queries.

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

@richa_lq I haven’t tried that but on simple queries I’m seeing major hallucinations. They screwed something up.

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

@anirudhology @GergelyOrosz Your flash model seems like a disaster based on some initial simple queries. And it kept doubling down on the hallucinations.

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

@GoogleAIStudio Your most cost efficient model generated idiotic hallucinations on one of my first queries. Then kept doubling down on the stupidity. What did you strip out of these models to make them more “efficient”??

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

@JinjingLiang I tried Flash for some simple queries and the hallucinations were absurd. Complete trash.

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

@SellersCounsel With any new tool it’s about the right and the wrong way on how to use it. The incompetence and laziness of the SullCrom team isn’t the limitation here.

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

@hammer_mt @danshipper Well said. The machines are idiot savants. I suspect for quite a while we’re going to se the combo of machine and human as the most effective and impactful and efficient formula.

"House of David" has been a breakout hit for Amazon.

The historical drama series attracted nearly 50M viewers in its first season and hit #1 on the U.S. charts.

And the showrunner, Jon Erwin, says it couldn't have been made without AI.

The future of filmmaking is hybrid.

[Dave Clark @Diesol]

News Flash: Some of those adopting AI actually came from traditional filmmaking and storytelling…

FWIW as a former BigLaw lawyer now running a company, if I were making decisions on who to hire, I’d only hire someone that can describe practicing the way @zackbshapiro described.

I was an AI skeptic until Opus 4.5 landed because AI sucked. Putting together a contract was embarrassing. But since November, the game has changed. I push use of AI for everything we do incredibly hard.

I actually got a 60 column spreadsheet of 15 countries’ payments laws across licensing, tax, physical presence, etc requirements done in a few hours with insane depth. It cost me almost nothing. It would have cost $500k-$1m and I would have waited 3-6 months for it. I then dropped my funds flows and had memos written on different approaches to entering the markets. Truly better outcome than any memo I wrote or that I saw written by any law firm associate or partner. It was mind-boggling.

So naturally, I spun up a contract drafting instance. I didn’t even spend that much time with instructions and context. The output was incredible.

I think many law firms still have time because their clients will still take some time to learn the power of AI. But soon, only those leveraging these tools will compete. It is a change like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Unsolicited advice: find a way to get to where Zach is faster. I promise you I know what great lawyering looks like. AI is there now.

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

@SellersCounsel @writeclimbrun Isn’t that the entire point? AI is the tool but the attorney needs to review and evaluate the output. He made that point repeatedly in the article.

[Matt Margolis @ItsMattsLaw]

Like guys we can say losing our job is bullshit while still acknowledging that we can use AI to make us faster and more efficient

[Matt Margolis @ItsMattsLaw]

1) Have precedent document that I trust;

2) AI prompt to conform document to details provided or LOI;

3) Review for inconsistencies;

4) AI prompt to review for inconsistencies;

5) Turn document;

1/2

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

AI is super powerful, but it’s not an easy button. Attorney + AI is most effective.

[Matt Margolis @ItsMattsLaw]

your AI generated contract

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

This has generated a ton of discussion. Bottom line is it outlines some helpful use cases.

[Using Generative AI @funapps]

Great advice on how to use AI in legal practice.
