    I went in expecting yet another hot take on AI but this one really did a good job. The idea of creating personalized faux-culture facsimiles complete with the bare illusion of community is something I think is quite likely with the current trajectory of AI. I found Daniel Kwan's idea about us playing jenga to be apt - my first wording was to say I liked it, but I really don't, it's pretty alarming.

    I think the problem with AI is exactly what the author notes at the very end - that it is swaddling and confirming, not surprising. It will rarely confront you with something that forces examination or change. It might be made different, I suppose, but I doubt there will be much demand for an AI that forces you to reexamine yourself.

      The way I think about it is that you have to take the lead. While coding I’ve sometimes seen Claude Opus do some pretty sophisticated things, but only because I asked in the right way. It’s not going to push you in any particular direction.

    https://ghostarchive.org/archive/UB3tc Edit: damn, the article content loads for a second and then the paywall pops up. It's probably something you could get around in devtools but I'm on mobile atm.

      Firefox mobile has the "Reader Mode" feature, which prevents the popup overlay from interrupting.
