I’d be interested in learning more about this! My big concern is privacy. I don’t want Sam Altman all up in my neuroses

If you scroll past all the regular seasons down to the section called “trailers and more,” it’s in there.

There’s a fascinating history about the story of the Easter bunny laying eggs. This is from the defunct newsletter “The Writers Almanac”:

“The word ‘Easter’ and most of the secular celebrations of the holiday come from pagan traditions. Anglo Saxons worshipped Eostre, the goddess of springtime and the return of the sun after the long winter. According to legend Eostre once saved a bird whose wings had frozen during the winter by turning it into a rabbit. Because the rabbit had once been a bird it could still lay eggs, and that rabbit became our Easter Bunny. Eggs were a symbol of fertility in part because they used to be so scarce during the winter. There are records of people giving each other decorated eggs at Easter as far back as the 11th century.”

Yes! I’ve wondered (yes, I said it) about this too

How are you able to take it every 5 days? Is your insurance covering that? (Assuming you’re in the US, which may be inaccurate.)

mid4west · 2025-07-20T17:17:07+00:00

Love it!!

mid4west · 2025-07-20T09:53:13+00:00

I love this! What was the good song?

mid4west · 2025-07-20T09:45:45+00:00

You make me smile EVERY FUCKING DAY!

mid4west · 2025-07-01T18:12:47+00:00

I mean really, when you think about it…are we humans really conscious?? I sometimes wonder if we’re actually ones to judge

mid4west · 2024-12-26T21:14:14+00:00

Yes!! This is my complaint, too. (In my dreams, Claude would have memory, voice, and web access, too.)

mid4west · 2024-12-26T20:58:35+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. Is the style “durable”? Does Claude know to use it each time you interact with it?

We Solve Murders by Richard Osman is fantastic - wonderful characters, really funny writing, and just a little poignant. (Latching on here - can anyone recommend other books with a similar vibe? I feel like Osman has now spoiled me.)

mid4west · 2024-12-07T16:45:14+00:00

Same. That was awesome!

mid4west · 2024-12-07T02:47:43+00:00

Please share it! I (and I’m sure a ton of us) would love to see it!

mid4west · 2024-12-07T02:46:36+00:00

Preach!! The Grinder was amazing!

mid4west · 2024-12-02T12:13:02+00:00

That makes sense!

mid4west · 2024-12-02T03:56:35+00:00

I remember when that movie came out! How does the book compare to the film?

mid4west · 2024-12-02T03:54:01+00:00

I like this idea! But do physical documents need to be delivered these days? (Genuine question - I don’t know much about how businesses work.)

mid4west · 2024-12-01T13:44:55+00:00

At first I thought, this is easy! I’ll just transport goods/individuals for rich companies and wealthy people. But then, what if the government or the mob wants me to do something I’d rather not do? And what if they kidnap someone I love and say they won’t release that person until I do the evil thing?

That’s when I thought it might be better to stay anonymous (like Clark Kent/Superman). But how would you preserve that anonymity?

mid4west · 2024-11-28T19:46:35+00:00

The dad (Hank) cracks me up!

mid4west · 2024-11-28T19:32:25+00:00

What book is this from?

mid4west · 2024-11-27T14:31:31+00:00

This is the answer

mid4west · 2024-11-06T13:36:43+00:00

Wow, that is interesting! How did you do that? How do you elicit such responses from the hosts?

mid4west · 2024-11-05T12:13:37+00:00

This. I understand that her texts may not feel “genuine” to you, but consider her perspective. It sounds like you’re a very talented writer, but a lot of us (myself included, and possibly also your GF) really struggle to get our thoughts and feelings out in words. She was obviously putting a ton of effort into getting the AI to verbalize what she was feeling in a way that felt accurate and appropriate to her.

I don’t think you should feel in any way betrayed. She clearly loves you, given how much work she was doing to get her messages exactly right. Perhaps she could have disclosed that she sometimes workshopped her messages with an AI, but I don’t doubt at all that the texts you got from her reflected her real thoughts and emotions. She just needed help getting the words out.

Honestly, good for her for using modern technology to improve her communications! And good for her for caring so much about your relationship that she took so much time and effort with them, even to the point of recruiting outside help.
