The idea is obsolete because we know that it is also your cousin and nephew and grandchild as well. 2026-10-03T17:14:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgq6lfwp6s8ea2pmg3u2nuj04m74r7tege0a9lnjjeh5u086j34uqzyzw6fjj53cll3qey9skrewcky9j3zwlgtwqpd3x6ywedulrm89e4ysuwxar In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf7dx40y3rfjug3yrc6w5r4qle02h3yjwryqj4j6thzeda93vf0hqfar0p2'>nevent1q…r0p2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think the point is that someone made it able to do that.

You didn’t *ask* Claude to do something, you *used* Claude to do it. The anthropomorphizing is meant to aggrandize these tools, and you don’t have to participate in the propaganda.<br/><br/>I ask things of, and collaborate with, people, and LLMs are nothing more than a tool. Claude doesn’t have agency, it has integrations. 2026-01-03T15:27:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszgy9s0fy86lp25vcaqugtmg3f2nqtf7q6ujk8qhe9tscq69t6mqczyzw6fjj53cll3qey9skrewcky9j3zwlgtwqpd3x6ywedulrm89e4ypcvpcj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsycpn4pmu0zq0t8rzpc80tsxuaxhlppx2934ptq9cq9zvackgctsqptqm0f'>nevent1q…qm0f</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is there actual value beyond entertainment to that thinking trace?

His circumstances mean that he frequently loses access to his phone or accounts, and even my advice about password managers had some serious issues for him. <br/><br/>I still think there is a place for some form of pass keys, but it is decidedly not time to replace passwords. 2025-07-02T02:36:07Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqp89rd7h9lwqj9esx0362dgzus95vjxphaqclgxzpdwjapc3gc2qzyzw6fjj53cll3qey9skrewcky9j3zwlgtwqpd3x6ywedulrm89e4y93r8f0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9t5tqf69gvcu4hmfm3r4n2wwkn50en52ww9kz4nx3d3dd0v3f36q0p92pt'>nevent1q…92pt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You seem to be arguing a few things:<br/><br/>- that if I trust an iOS developer to share some Swift code with me, I should also trust their ability to operate a secure distribution mechanism for that code<br/>- that the problem of safely sharing commit hashes doesn&#39;t have the same challenges as safely sharing the code<br/>- that establishing a secure channel with each of thousands of open source developers is a trivial thing… (1/2) 2025-05-26T20:01:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvrvzwzhm7pk5xck4dd00eqfk5yc6pzu8djj2xddjujyeqxxze6dszyzw6fjj53cll3qey9skrewcky9j3zwlgtwqpd3x6ywedulrm89e4yn5fpjk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd5khe96y9pummry8h8qfqu944dxhy84208dgeqjf67sl2nfkv7mg0r4zlk'>nevent1q…4zlk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s not insane, it is evidence that centralization provides a significant benefit to actual users. For example, it&#39;s really nice to know that every commit on Github is made by someone with 2FA enabled (as of 2023 anyway). Self-hosted anything means I have to trust the host and the contributors to a project a lot more. It&#39;s not a perfect guarantee, but it&#39;s far from inconsequential, and there are many more such benefits (and also drawbacks). 2025-05-26T17:54:53Z
