Got a email from Anthropic:
"Verification data. As part of our measures to keep our services safe and secure we may ask you to verify your age or identity, and we've described what we collect and how."
They finally get the version of reality they want.
@Grummz I honestly think it takes some time to learn and understand a model.
Its like giving a child a car without explaining what it is.
Then all of a sudden the child realizes he can drive it.
We live in a world where people don't take any technical risk. Why?
Technical risk is one of those things I keep hearing about, "we should take more of it". "I wan't to take more of it".
But is technical risk really something that people can just take?
People are mimetic by nature and in general wan't to feel safe, and that tends to mean that we copy and trust each other. We trust other peoples judgment and ideas, we divulge and try to get support from others when in need of help.
This is fine and even good in some cases but it's the polar opposite of technical risk.
Technical risk means believing that society and people have got something fundamentally wrong, that there is something everyone is missing, or is too stupid to understand or see.
And when this archetype of person is building something they don't feel the need to look at others, because they feel other people are either too stupid to know the answer or in the opposite the same archetype has absolute trust in its own ability. Two sides of the same coin.
Technical risk is antisocial by nature. And we live in an ever more social world. Social media, social gatherings, people want to fit in, not only to their friends but to everyone, and by doing so limit themselves to a nurtured version of themselves, a version that takes no risk.
And by that I mean any risk, including technical risk.
