Surprised they didn't just try Clawbot first. I can see the case against "Clawd" (I mean; seriously...) but claws are a different matter IMHO, with that mascot and all.

It's probably still a bit too close. "Claw'd" might actually be a trademark of Anthropic now. The character and name originates from this Claude Sonnet 3.5 advertisement in June 2024, promoting the launch of the Artifacts feature by building an 8-bit game

"Have the crab jump up and over oncoming seashells... I think I want to name this crab... Claw'd."

Also, if you haven't found it hidden in Claude Code yet, there's a secret way to buy Clawd merch from Anthropic. Still waiting on them to make a Clawd plushie, though.

Surely this article is written by AI? The header emojis, the comparison table, the bolded "keywords"...

That means they're in a bad shape because this was labeled a last resort by Sam himself in 2024.

Since people will at large not do this because they don't read Screenrant and how this needs to cut though the massive social media noise and we're looking at millions of viewers, what is the consequences with this particular episode? Viewing issues, or is it meant to be dark but won't be?

Last time I heard this reasoning about bad TV settings was during the infamous GoT episode that was very dark.

Producers generally don't warn about TV settings preemptively as if to warn, so it makes me a bit concerned.

Stranger Things already face complaints about S5 lately, having viewing issues on the finale would be the cherry on top.

Pretty much, yeah. Those they can't get to despite efforts.

Let me write those down, to be sure no to go there by mistake.

Honestly makes it look like legislation with "sponsorship" from the film industry. I had expected much shadier stuff or those overrun with malware to protect users, not like 90% illicit streaming.

> or those overrun with malware to protect users

The anti-malware companies won't lobby government to block malware as that would cut into sales of their anti virus/malware.

There is no legislation here. CUII is a private organization that generates lists of domains that contain copyright violations. ISPs voluntarily choose to block those.

Voluntarily under threat of prosecution under existing legislation if they don't.

no, under threat of filing every single copyright claim against them, swamping their legal department.

Which is the correct way to do it (i.e. file a claim if you see someone violating copyright law). This just makes it easier for the ISPs

> no, under threat of filing every single copyright claim against them

A.k.a. prosecution under existing legislation.

I've had some weird "thinking outside the box" behavior like this. I once asked 3 Pro what Ozzy Osbourne is up to. The CoT was a journey, I can tell you! It's not in its training data that he actually passed away. It did know he was planning a tour though. It had a real struggle trying to consolidate "suspicious search results" and even questioned whether it was fake news, or running against a simulation!, determining it wasn't going to fall for my "test".

It did ultimately decide Ozzy was alive. I pushed back on that, and it instantly corrected itself and partially blamed my query "what is he up to" for being formulated as if he was alive.

Odd, mine didn't do anything interesting.

Yes, that's very good because it's my main use case for Flash; queries depending on world knowledge. Not science or engineering problems, but think you'd ask someone that has a really broad knowledge about things and can give quick and straightforward answers.

I'm not sure how I'm going to live with this!

Looks like a good workhorse model, like I felt 2.5 Flash also was at its time of launch. I hope I can build confidence with it because it'll be good to offload Pro costs/limits as well of course always nice with speed for more basic coding or queries. I'm impressed and curious about the recent extreme gains on ARC-AGI-2 from 3 Pro, GPT-5.1 and now even 3 Flash.
