"why didn't you do them?"

"That is a good question and it merits further explanation. When you made your originally inquiry I determined that the answer you wanted to hear was "yes." so that is the answer that I provided. Upon further reflection it is clear that your question required a more thoughtful answer. If you would like me to provide more truthful answers in the future, please amend your queries with "no cap" and I will do my best to remember that preference."

    Dumb question, but...is Claude worse than GPT or Gemini?

    I was under the impression that it was the lesser of evils

    They are the lesser of the available evils. Anthropic, the proprietors of Claude, were blacklisted by the US administration for refusing to greenlight their technology being used for fascism.

    Anthropic's AI system was used to target the school in Minab, killing 120 students. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/03/11/us-strike-iran-elementary-school-ai-target-list/

    The company is suing to be able to supply the US military again.

    That's one way to spin it.

    My take on it is that it was used inappropriately, and when the fascists wanted it tailored for that abhorrent use, Anthropic refused, and in retaliation the fascists banned it for ANY use, so now Anthropic is suing to allow the sane to continue using it for it's appropriate uses.

    What sane use? And how does this company plan to prevent the fascists from using it to kill another 120 children?

    The only not-evil move is to not sell dual-use goods to fascists in the first place.

    You seriously can't think of any sane use? How about categorizing large amounts of data. Brainstorming strategies for problem solving. Converting pseudo code to actual code. Troubleshooting error messages. I mean, there are dozens upon dozens of valid uses that harm no one.

    How does Bic plan to prevent murderers from stabbing people with their pens? How does Toyota plan to stop drivers from committing vehicular manslaughter? How does Hewlett-Packard plan on preventing fascists from saving manifestos? How does Apple plan on preventing sexual criminals from taking pictures of their victims?

    What's that? Companies don't need to accomplish impossible tasks to have a viable product? I guess it's only AI that has insurmountable demands placed on them by reactionaries.

    The only not-evil move is to sit in a cave using sticks, once the trees figure out how to keep cavemen from beating their children with them.

    There are many less evils. Use open source/weight AI like Kimi, GLM, Deepseek, Mistral, Olmo, Arcee, Minimax, Qwen, Exaone, NVidia, Sarvam...

    If you don't have the hardware to run locally, you can pay for API. If you find the company problematic for whatever reason, you can switch to the same model served by a third party (possible because the model weights are publicly released).

    Other than wanting a verbose answer to a question, what is it for?

    For me I just use it to get verbose answers to questions.

    I use open-weight LLM over search engines when I can, because Google/Bing/Yandex are complete proprietary black boxes run by corporations of questionable morality.

    Claude is almost always the better model compared to GPT. I find that this is a good leaderboard. However, both Claude and GPT have similar business models: make sure everything they do is completely proprietary, and keep everything behind a monthly paywall. They both run massive data centers to train their models, and neither really deserves the term "Artificial Intelligence".

    I just started with Claude and I can’t yet distinguish when it has actually done something it says it has done. With ChatGPT I can see through the bullshit quite well by now. At first I was happy when I thought Claude was rid of that bullshit, but turns out it’s just a different type of bullshit.

    The UI and file handling is better in Claude though, and supposedly you can make it create skills which are like instruction booklets on how to do some tasks and then export and share them. But the ones I created were lost during the weekend so I’m not sure how robust they actually are.

    You're absolutely right! I shouldn't have put the dirty dishes into the bin instead of cleaning them. This was a clear violation of my instructions, and I'll be sure not to make this mistake again!

    If you asked Claude to build you a house it would build you the most beautiful house, and then you’d go inside and you’d be like, “Claude there’s no bathrooms.” And Claude would say, “There were no bathrooms before either, so it’s actually a pre-existing issue”

    The stuck-on residue is real.

    But here’s the brutal reality: it’s not just residue; it’s residon’t.

    Options:

    • A: (recommended) do the dishes
    • B: don’t do the dishes
    • C: mix of both

    Actually the dishes you are talking about aren’t dishes at all.

    If you want I can go through options to replace these items with actual dishes.

    I find Claude to actually pushes back more than ChatGPT does. That's why I prefer to use Claude. But of course, I still do due diligence.

    Sounds like trying to get a child to do chores, who just wants to be done and play.

    How do you pronounce Claude? Like Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "cloud"?
