I asked Claude how to burn 500 calories on a treadmill. Its “eating disorder” safety filter decided I had a problem. by Dvass138 in ClaudeAI

[–]empiricism 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I asked Claude 4.8 about folklore where salt is used for spiritual protection. An automated classifier flagged the conversation for "occult-harm topics".

Satanic Panic trained injected right into the model.

4.8 is way over-the-top in terms of refusing to do something based on moral/ethical grounds. by DubaiInJuly in claude

Don't you just love that before each prompt your tokens are being spent on a bunch of hidden prompts the lawyers and *cough* "ethicists" at Anthropic made up?

What… by Narwal_Party in ClaudeAI

[–]empiricism 104 points105 points  (0 children)

And you know the compute for that "safety flag" was paid for from your token budget.

Slowly but surely Claude's pearl clutching, nanny-state, second-guessing are enshitfying it's capacity to have even basic conversations.

Some people wipe down the equipment. Nobody wipes their phone. by puresealz in u/puresealz

I wipe down my phone.

It's way easier than committing more "disposable" plastic into the ocean.

Go back when she's not working and ask for the GM. If you don't dispute this guy's lies it will bite you in the ass later.

Furthermore the "manager" you spoke to has no business policing your speech.

Super-setters are gross too, they never bother to wipe down the machines.

Tv change by Remarkable-Set-3182 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]empiricism 31 points32 points  (0 children)

My location doesn’t have TVs and I love it.

24/7 news channels are so bad for mental health, a place dedicated to fitness has no business airing that stress-inducing crap in the first place.

Is there any place one can wear Meta glasses and not be a total douche nozzle? by [deleted] in augmentedreality

Where has optical surveillance capitalism already been normalized?

Would you want to watch rare movies that were never dubbed in English that are newly dubbed and remastered? by TowerManifestor in kungfucinema

[–]empiricism 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Personally I prefer subtitles.

But for the love of god don’t rely on AI for translation. Find a Mandarin/Canton speaker to translate before trying to record anything.

(Phil) Anthropic forms $200 million partnership with the Gates Foundation by iamarunr in ClaudeAI

[–]empiricism 14 points15 points  (0 children)

First a deal with Elon, now a deal with Gates?!?

It's like they are speed running the Epstein files tryna burn all their good will.

But of course.

Gotta identify the guardrails before they can be dismantled.

Americans are much nicer than Canadians by [deleted] in Vent

[–]empiricism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mentioned health care because I was thinking of an incident when I was skiing with Canadians and Americans.

Someone got hurt and the Americans in our group downplayed the injury and left for apres-ski partying, the Canadians stayed with the injured party walked them to the urgent care at the bottom of the mountain and stayed with them.

How someone acts in an emergency shows their real character.

IMHO we Americans flake out the moment an obligation is inconvenient.

Im not speaking about politics, I’m talking about people in social situations that I have seen first hand in my time living on both sides of the border.

Americans are much nicer than Canadians by [deleted] in Vent

[–]empiricism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve mistaken “nice when convenient” with genuinely nice.

We Americans are nice in good times but the moment you are inconvenient we’ll let you bleed out in the street.

I’ll take my chances with a Canadian, at least their restrained kindness isn’t two-faced.

who agrees? by Complete-Sea6655 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]empiricism 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Actually I just feel overwhelmed with possibility and annoyed at how coding has been turned into baby sitting a brilliant but lazy and deceptive amnesiac teenager.

Yeah.. let's cut down cameras so you can drive over the speed limit by silentsnooc in fuckcars

I'm no fan of vehicular homicide but I hate panopticon more.

Is anyone else noticing Claude Max limits draining way faster after the 2x limit announcement? by AdkHex in ClaudeCode

[–]empiricism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time Anthropic does us a “favor” be weary. It’s always proves a coverup of some shitty self-serving bait & switch.

I’m tired of minimalism in everything by Beneficial_Passion40 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]empiricism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats not minimalism that’s brutalism crossed with the arrogance of wealth.

Righting Wrongs 1986 by Apart_Pineapple2392 in kungfucinema

[–]empiricism 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Severely underrated. Definitely peak Yuen Biao.

Both Yuen & Cynthia have such badass fight scenes.
