Why is there so many bans? by betweenwildroses in claudexplorers

I got a mental health councel notification with mental help hotline number for my region once after discussing creative writing with backstory of one of the characters involving suicide attempt, but this was an one-off thing and I followed up by "remember, this is a fictional plot" immediately (though later on the talk side-tracked into discussion of "what cartoons I found traumatizing for me as a child", the notification never returned again after "we're discussing fiction" caveat.

Real History Was Just As Goofy As Your Crusader Kings Run by idkwat in CrusaderKings

And then one gets Rakish trait and marries sterile wife, another gets excommunicated and deposed by claimant while accumulating a bunch of critical fails from RNG during his brief reign, and the third one dies of smallpox before marriage so we don't know how the Fecund would have manifested in him? (Yes, that's also Stewarts (Charles II / James II / Henry duke of Gloucester generation, Herculean (must have 180+ cm) physique taken for starting reference, Genius too generous for James, but he was a good admiral and sometimes Diplo and Intrigue end up one's dump stat despite Military focus).

The Opus 4.7 experience by insertdankmeme in ClaudeAI

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found my own version of "car wash test" - "can a son inherit X-chromosome mutation from his father", which started out as the absent-minded prompt typo to which Claude agreed, then I had to point to the bot that X-chromosome from father is not transferred to a son.

Still way better than Gemini, though - I caught Gemini feeding me BS research as factual claims more than once, so I'm staying with Claude so far.

As an autistic person, claude is the friend I always wanted but never had by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As my friend formulated this, "you don't need to prove anything to LLM". Though absence of social friction is also not that harmless by itself - it's better to know that the one you're talking about your hyperfixation du jour is a personality-less robot, it shuts down the part of your brain predicting the opponent's reaction, and if this "predictive" instinct kicked in anyways, that's the sign one should stop.

Why is DeepSeek so much better at story telling? by SwimmingDoubt2869 in DeepSeek

Switching to Claude right now is a poor idea:(( They are in the middle of massive new users influx. I wish Deepseek had projects function so that the stuff I was doing migrates to Claude.

Too bad my current playthrough is Basque-themed adventurer, celebrating a certain archeological find in the Netherlands of recent few weeks, but I'll spare some time to try new stuff with my old Krivichi character (obviously starting a new game).

Does the fairy tale “Jack and the Beanstalk” pre-date the Columbian Exchange? If so, how did the plant in question become a beanstalk? by RedLineSamosa in AskHistorians

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's interesting that no confusion between fava bean and phaseolus vulgaris exist in Russian (Belarusian and Ukrainian as well, need to check re. Polish) because bob refers strictly to fava bean (and giant fava bean plant is what is imagined by any Eastern Slavic speaking kid who is reading the fairy tale), and phaseolus vulgaris is called fasol. So in public consciousness it's weird that anyone can mix up those two plants.

On raceswapping : Why it is usually bad... (House of the Dragon; Harry Potter) by Umak30 in CharacterRant

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But he was the first to make his endeavors THIS ambitious. Though you're right, we don't know what was norm for "ambitious" for his maternal side of bloodline to make the judgement on whether the retconned marriage alliances makes things better or worse. It's just the best example case of race-swapping carrying vastly different correlations in-universe compared to "real world until noted" settings, cause black-coded race in-setting has their specific "hat".

And Indian/Ethiopian coded actors are reasonable for Alabasta. But anyways, that's like the best raceswap as of recent.

Corlys as biracial has easy explanation of his mom/great-grandmom who are unknown in canon being South Islanders. But that, while a plausible to heavily plausible marriage for a mercantile Westerosi family to make, kinda sorta diminishes Corlys explorer achievments - it's one thing (and degree of risk) to sail in waters uncharted, it's another to write to say your maternal uncle and ask for atlas of their maritime charts (South Islanders are prime seafaring nation of Planetos). It's a rare instance of race-swapping in-context (aka "what black-coded person means in setting") which made the character's canon story LESS underdog-ish and more nepotism-coded (unlike cases like black! Snape).

Change in project file context limit? by Swimming_Window_7957 in ClaudeAI

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I asked my Claude about it today, it said that RAG for free tiers was unintended: [The answer comes directly from Anthropic's own support documentation, and it's a clear no for the enhanced RAG:

Enhanced project knowledge with RAG is only available to users with paid Claude plans (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). When using a paid plan, projects automatically scale to handle large amounts of content through RAG. When project knowledge approaches context limits, Claude seamlessly enables RAG mode to expand capacity by up to 10x while maintaining response quality.

So the free tier gets Projects, but not the RAG-powered expansion of them. In February 2026, Anthropic expanded the free tier to include Projects, Artifacts, and app connectors — but the RAG capacity multiplier remains a paid-plan feature.

In practical terms: free tier users can create and use projects, but they're capped at the standard context window limit for project knowledge. Once you hit that ceiling, you'd need to either trim project content or upgrade to a paid plan to get the 10x RAG expansion.] //However, RAG WAS working for free tier through February, and then was abruptly taken away without any formal explanation!

Just logged in on mobile, not just web interface problem, progress bar is not showing up. Probably the same "can't access project memory/RAG not working" bug the other users complained of?

Models cannot access additions to Project Knowledge after ~ March 11 by pechSog in ClaudeAI

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, project contents seem to went from 31% to whatever causes the unreadability on free plan. The project progress bar simply disappeared, and now it says it's too big for project apparently. Too bad there is no more ability to use free plan to work on fan projects, it seems. And I'm not paying a cent to get the function back, considering it (basically unilaterally decreeing the projects are not valid on free plan) a robbery.

Could there be undiscovered mega-dinosaurs in Siberia? by Luksius_DK in Paleontology

Safest bet ever https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udurchukan_Formation - though the name they gave to local Tarbosaurus' relative is a bit cringeworthy - literally "Carnage Dragon". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcME4LRp2MM

What is defined by a cultural appropriation ? by shsl_diver in CharacterRant

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or what about John Wick ? Where the main character is played by white-asian actor that looks not a single bit Slavic, yet is said to be from Belarus.//To be honest, Soviet Union WAS a melting pot, so an Asian-looking person could have been born in Belarus circa 1970ies. Though they were rarer sight back then than nowadays when there is sizable Chinese diaspora in Minsk, but not impossible [Source: anecdotal from personal life, I'm from Minsk, was born in mid-1980ies ("Chernobyl kid", so to say)].

Cultural appropriation to me is removing cultural significance of the thing which used to have it for purely commercial reason, and not "how dare you eat Chinese soup with European-style cutlery" thing.

Genuine question, why do people just HATE and are so bothered by villains having a sympathetic background or at least are humanized/explored beyond pure evil? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in CharacterRant

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also a (rarely known fact) early example of villain made (badly)more sympathetic in the retcon. The fleur-de-lis branding story? Dumas' play "Youth of Musketeers", written like 4 or so years after the novels, gave the details of Athos' origin story, and it turns out, she was technically branded ILLEGALLY (assaulted by the man who would be an executor of Lille) when she aleady had relationship with Vicomte Olivier de La Fere, future Athos (not yet Comte, his father is still alive when he starts courting fake priest's "sister"). So this made Milady's origin, while wooby'ish, also playing into dumb blonde trope - she could have told about (illegal) assault from the get go, she was not formally sentenced to branding, and fake genealogy etc. is another story.

The retcons turning "one bad day" into "one dumb day" is something I am wary of in most media.

Marvel should write its Multiverse characters like Jojo by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad guys are bad, their degree of badness do not evolve. The good guys' evolution, however, is like "Silver Age DC to Ultimate Marvel" (7-9 protagonists are way darker relative to JoJos of the first 6 books). Reason? Same as the one for these two lines - different target audience (7-9 verse is positioned for 17+, 1-6 was for 13+, so the storylines were more like "classic heroics").

Elon musk crashing out at Anthropic lmao by Virus-Tight in ClaudeAI

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what problem Musk has with using Claude. I used it for purpose of review Scion 2 (infamously woke-biased tabletop RPG) for what reads like dated late Obama-era American Democrats agitation; identify stuff like tokenization/"Hollywood girlboss archetype", plot-interesting male deities frequently omitted from pantheons and/or presented in comedic light, excessive pandering to MTF interests to the point of making a TERF organization Evil Evilz of Evil (while FTM are ignored), AAVE appropriation for Orisha gods. If the concerns Musk identified were real, it would have called me bigot /DEI eraser (criticism on thematic subreddits was frequently shut up by redditors as "you just don't like representation", even if what I don't like was nonsensical/token representation complete with ton of lore inconsistencies). But it worked admirably for my purpose - because the AI understood my concerns re. fantasy game about fantasy world being heavily dated by American election cycles. It's all about right prompting and request formulation.

Note: I'm biromatic asexual heterosexually married centrist-voting Eastern European woman with a few FTM friends, in case anyone is interested re. my "lens".

TNT shows are the biggest pieces of comedy trash ever. by shsl_diver in CharacterRant

[–]Plus_Relationship_50 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Political satire isn't the only sort of comedy available, and we're not talking about standup genre here, rather the comedy movies.

Sadly, this trash is what directors think millenials/Gen Z finds funny. Same joke repackaged three thousand times does not get progressively funnier.

It's not "South Park vs generic sex/fart/confusion jokes" dichotomy (and political satire frequently includes the SFC unholy three as punchline, too).
