Neat. Coincidently recently I asked Claude about Claude CLI, if it is possible to patch some annoying things (like not being able to expand Ctrl + O more than once, so never be able to see some lines and in general have more control over the context) and it happily proclaimed it is open source and it can do it ... and started doing something. Then I checked a bit and saw, nope, not open source. And by the wording of the TOS, it might brake some sources. But claude said, "no worries", it only break the TOS technically. So by saving that conversation I would have some defense if I would start messing with it, but felt a bit uneasy and stopped the experiment. Also claude came into a loop, but if I would point it at this, it might work I suppose.

I think that you do not need to feel uneasy at all. It is your computer and your memory space that the data is stored and operating in you can do whatever you like to the bits in that space. I would encourage you to continue that experiment.

Well, the thing is, I do not just use my computer, but connect to their computers and I do not like to get banned. I suppose simple UI things like expanding source files won't change a thing, but the more interesting things, editing the context etc. do have that risk, but no idea if they look for it or enforce it. Their side is, if I want to have full control, I need to use the API directly(way more expensive) and what I want to do is basically circumventing it.

It doesn't matter what defence you can think of, if they want to ban you, they'll ban you.

They won't even read your defence.

I know. All I could do in that case is a blogpost "Claude banned me, for following claude's instructions!" and hope it gets viral.

This is neither.

Well, when I am doing rather thinking work, so not type in commands as fast as possible - I very much do like my laptop to have a touchscreen. It is way more ergonomic and comfortable, but yes, slower. But when the real work happens in my head, I like to be rather comfortable.

(Also I can immediately test touch features of the apps I develope)

Well, google for "DIY cloud chamber" did result in quite some entries. Apart from youtube channels, with the first entry a guide from CERN:

Did you expect time travel was developed, while no one was looking?

Sparta is a modern-day town. Not particularly famous for its baseball players.

To be fair, many ancient civilizations played ball games. The Pre-Columbian civilizations in Latin America built stadia for ball games. So maybe the ancient Greeks had an effect too.

Where do you get the conclusion from, that there is a "must"? There can be lot's of neurons ... but dedicated to other purposes.

Was that sarcasm? Speaking of it, what parts of OpenAI are still open?

I know, always hard to tell on HN. Added the relevant declarative tag

The front door…

"but why would a government feel the need to bail out AI labs"

Oh easy, with all the drones and sensors, AI means military power. Those who dare opposing the bailout of the local AI gigants want the other side to win.

The other detail you missed was, that this world is mostly not run by sane governments that do the rational thing you would expect from them.

Context was getting income. You don't get income, by avoiding paying more. So it is about black market jobs. Works until something happens. Disputes, accidents, .. you cannot go to the police or courts to demand money from an inoffical job.

You don’t get more income, but you do get more disposable income.
