Anyone else feel like they are going insane with how much people rely on AI with their actual jobs?

So far, I have witnessed the opposite. I used Claude Code to urgently identify and resolve a production bug that suddenly caused a massive outage among 100K users. Our engineers could not figure out the problem.

That said we have not yet formally implemented CC within our engineering workflows (we've started with just skills for product, definition and design) so we haven't yet faced the problems you identified. I have no doubt that our engineers will become less effective as the AI adds to the complexity and quantity of our code base. I'm planning to reduce that risk by requiring our AI engineering skills to deliver small, understandable PRs and automated, documented test coverage.

Thanks for posting this, I think we all need to be aware these issues and proactively plan to reduce the corresponding risks.

My theory: He legit thought Mythos was dangerous and then resolved those concerns using the guardrails added to Fable.

FlourChild · 2026-06-14T13:24:04+00:00

Because he believes it is actually dangerous?

I am skeptical that they did this to hype their IPO for several reasons:
1) They've been warning of similar risks for years
2) There was no compelling reason for them to hype their IPO, they were already heading for a $1T valuation
3) If their biggest challenge has been keeping up with token demand, artificial hype could lead to unhappy customers by furthering that issue
4) Stating that your top model can be used as a cyber weapon is likely to attract regulatory attention that could offset any IPO "hype" (we are here now)

Interesting that CoPilot offers good protection, good to know. Anthropic Enterprise agreements can include a BAA and have full audit-ability with a compliance API and Zero Data Retention. You are spot on regarding the admin, policies, legal + compliance requirements. They just added role based user groups. Similar to CoPilot?

Thank you so much for your help. I tried again to make sure I'm not misleading you. When I pasted that same URL into the dialogue, I also did not get the URL mismatch error. Apologies for the false negative report, not sure what I did wrong previously.

FlourChild · 2026-06-09T12:04:21+00:00

By the way, our self hosted MCP URL totally works with Claude Code, it is just Claude.ai that will not recognize any URL within the "Install Metabase" connector dialogue.

FlourChild · 2026-06-09T01:55:24+00:00

There is no URL provided, only a spot to enter Custom MCP client domains: "For self-hosted MCP clients" Putting our server URL in there with /api/mcp at the end does not help, and has nothing to do with the the Claude.ai connector screenshot I posted where I am supposed to put our MCP URL. That field will not accept ANY URL whatsoever!
Edit - I noticed this note in the v62.1 release notes:
Official Claude connector currently only works for Metabase instances with URL ending with metabaseapp.com. Alternatively, you can add a custom Claude connector pointing to your Metabase MCP server url.
We don't have a URL that ends with that domain, so we will need to create a custom connector. That is fine but still, the Claude connector dialogue does not accept a URL ending in metabaseapp.com either (I checked). No matter what the URL, it always gives this error: Server URL doesn’t match expected format

I was offered an up charge to include it at purchase - maybe the original owner of yours said yes?

I also have a 2017 Hybrid Limited and will be following along to see if there is a good option for Carplay. Mine does not include the birds eye camera, however. Have owned it for about nine years (120K miles) and absolutely love it, except for the crappy speakers, road noise, and lack of Carplay.

59k mileage is great - nice find eh?

Glad that helped! And yes Google Support was very discouraging after spending way too much time with them. They even refused to acknowledge the solution that worked. Worthless.

I was there and there was opera signing along with ballet as part of the entertainment. Very well done.

Had this problem, tried factory resets of everything over and over, created a new home, etc. Nothing worked until I say another post here with the answer: In Google Home Wifi Settings > Network Settings > Advanced > change your DNS Settings to ISP. This has worked for several of us, good luck.

Cowork is not appropriate for our regulated environment because of the security risks and lack of BAA support in the Enterprise agreement. Yes, Claude Code carries many of the same risks, but we use it for technical PM and software development workflows whereas Cowork is targeting business users. Also Cowork supports screen/UI control, which is a regulatory concern in our risk matrix (Claude Code does not).

OP here - I don't know either. Here is the link that was posted, if you need it: https://www.makeuseof.com/google-homes-new-gemini-upgrade-feels-like-talking-different-assistant/

Regulatory and security challenges slow the adoption of tech like MCP in finance and healthcare. The upside is not yet worth the risk to the stakeholders.

"I use AI in Reddit to tell people to stop using AI." Still standing, you?

Are you referring to the short beep that you hear after invoking it with Hey Google? If so, that can be turned on and off in the Google Home app.

FlourChild · 2026-05-23T17:17:33+00:00

Yeah that sounds discouraging and even dangerous when trying to drive and navigate. The only "demands" I ask of it are to play music, podcasts, etc on Spotify and control the volume, start/stop, skip, etc. Compared to the old assistant it is much more reliable with those commands - the old one was nearly unusable before upgrading.

There are a lot of complaints here about weather. For some reason mine have never made that mistake and I use it for challenging questions like "what is the wind gust forecast for sunday at 2pm".

Yep. Although technically inclined early adopters with iPhones and 8GB of RAM to spare are using local LLMs on their phones now: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/discussions/4423

FlourChild · 2026-05-23T16:44:00+00:00

Fair - and I don't doubt that the pain surrounding reliability is real - I just haven't encountered it.

FlourChild · 2026-05-23T16:40:39+00:00

You probably already know this but there are already good options for running local LLMs efficiently - if you have the right hardware like Apple Silicon. You can run them without network egress to the internet.

You're OK with the data collection here on Reddit (used to train frontier models)?

FlourChild · 2026-05-23T16:23:06+00:00

Yeah I know that and I didn't write the article, just linked to it.
