I'm not sure if I'm holding it wrong, but at these usage rates, I can hardly see this being useful for designers in their daily work. In two prompts using the Max 20x plan, it consumed 11% of my weekly limit for Claude Design, which is separate from your normal limits. A day of work would exhaust over four weeks of usage. Is this meant for intermittent use only? Lately I've been getting the feeling that Anthropic is forgetting how absurdly much we are already paying for these tools, compared to conventional development tools, or even competing inference providers.
Yeah. I'm only on the Pro plan and immediately reached my weekly Claude Design quota by having it create a slide template (with much too small text) and three versions of a system dashboard design (rather nice). No iterations.
Another thing: I realized how much I hate waiting for Claude to finish its thing. With UI designs, a quick interaction loop between tool and user feels much more important than with code.
I have wondered this as well. Maybe it's trying to train based on which accounts get flagged/ time-to-flag or something? Otherwise... who would bother with this? It's so dumb.
You could just not generate extra images that aren't relevant to the article. I like the charts and diagrams even when they're AI, because they serve a purpose. But the extra images for flair or whatever are completely pointless and even annoying.
I would go a little further (and apologies for being rather blunt): but I find the over-use of irrelevant images to be rather insulting, as if I am unable to maintain focus on an article, without the frequent shiny object.
I wouldn't necessarily call that further. The images I like are relevant because they visually explain things that are helpful. The images I don't like are irrelevant because they serve no purpose other than to Be Images for no good reason.
You can search for Creative Commons images on Google. Though, honestly, a longform piece would've been much better than the glitchy face horror show that is that "fiber-laying in Germany" image, which is a composite of hundreds of thousands of random images from all sorts of places!
i agree, i do like the article content itself, but the AI-generated images (clearly nano banana btw) really kill the credibility. even just using stock images with the watermarks clearly visible would be better
People have been doing self-examination for a long time, but Freud's use of psychoanalysis is a fairly modern phenomenon and it's benefits are dubious. Modern therapy looks increasingly like pseudoscience. I expect biotech/AI advancements to make much of modern therapy irrelevant over time, as we obtain fine-grained control over the actual processes in the brain causing various afflictions.
modern therapy has nothing to with Freud, modern therapy approaches are empirically tested, and show efficacy comparable to medication, but sure other than that whole modern scientific approach... its definitely just pseudoscience
the only pseudoscience you mentioned is the idea that mental "afflictions" are entirely biological
For sure Freud and modern therapy as practiced today are very different. Freud influenced the language, structure, and goals of talk therapy more than the exact methods most therapists use now. Modern therapy kept many of his clinical observations about inner conflict and relationships, but dropped or revised a lot of his more speculative theory.
Since mental illness or other trauma is entirely contained to the brain, you can in fact say that the problem is entirely biological. We are starting to see the tech industry make real inroads to biology. Neuralink, gene therapies, AI designed drugs, etc. All of these innovations will decrease the need for therapy, which at best you can say helps people learn to live with conditions, but never permanently fixes the problem.
I assume your concern with GPU passthrough is that each VM needs a whole GPU?
You can use GPU-PV to split your GPU between VM instances.
Then the main bottleneck becomes how thin you split out your VRAM.
Wouldn't virtualbox or vmware's paravirtual GPUs be a better fit for this use case? Unfortunately the offerings with qemu/libvirt still lag vmwares by a lot.
I know those offer virtual GPUs, but I am unfamiliar with any paravirtual GPU offerings from VMWare or VirtualBox. The virtual GPUs are much more limited in performance and graphics API support.
It's straightforward to contain the unsafe usage and potentially write safe wrappers and structures around it. Memory bugs mostly stem from the larger application in conjunction with the API anyway, rarely only the API layer.
What we call gender dysphoria is really just a cluster of symptoms around people's sense of their identity.
But identity as a whole is a very murky thing - if you ask me it's largely an adaptive abstraction that our minds invent.
The purpose of said adaption is to adopt a role which functions within the tribe/society for purposes of survival.
I think we way over-simplify the whole thing by making it about gender and gender roles.
And it's that over-simplification that I would label as the ideology. Because that's what ideologies do: they take the complex ambiguities of the world and try to cram them into a simplistic box.
It stopped being centered around gender dysphoria quite a while ago. Gender identity is where it's at now, and the idea that one does not need to be dysphoric to be trans is currently the most mainstream one.
Yes, you do not need to be dysphoric to be transgender, however. It is actually quite difficult to compare rates of gendery dysphoria to transgender identity, as transgender identity is inherently self-reported, but studies on gender dysphoria focus on diagnosed cases, not undiagnosed estimates. Therefore it is also not possible to assert that non-dysphoria is dominant among current transitioning people as you do.
