No.

In our lives, the game we play, we can do whatever we like. There are consequences for some things, but generally we can do lots of things.

We can kill people and get away with it. We can also help them.

Should we hate life because it's possible to do really shitty things in life? I don't think so. We should hate the "players" who actually do shitty things.

Ok but hating a guy playing with an LLM is a bit extreme. These things are in many ways still just toys (toys that are becoming increasingly useful).

People almost certainly send dumber stuff to Claude than this, and just don’t write blog posts about it.

You could try other providers if Anthropic is too slow/limited, there’s some good alternatives.

(And your anger should probably be directed at Anthropic who hasn’t put in “better controls”, not the masses for not using the tool in the way you think they should. Hating rarely leads to anything productive.)

I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. Hating is just terminology I've used to reply to the parent poster. Personally I don't think hating anything will solve any problem.

True, people send dumber stuff to LLM, but some of them have the decency not to brag about it. But if they brag, then the common sense I imagine would be to tell them they are currently conducting a shitty thing. Yet on HN over 100 people told him that it's a cool idea. Also you seem to also be one of the "if the system allows it, then we all should do it" mentality people.

I mean you could argue that buying stuff and immediately throwing it to trash is perfectly fine, and if I'm mad about it, then it's my problem because "the person doesn't use the thing the same way I would imagine it to be used", but this argument just sounds silly to me. I know I'm right.

We have brains for a reason. We should use our free will, not offload any thinking to the system we live in.

Unless we don't have free will. I believe some of us don't have it, based on what I read.

Talking about "We have brains and don't offload your thinking" while admonishing someone because you think you would have used their tokens better is wild.

You've literally just used the same argument from the previous poster which was even addressed by me in my parent reply. Talking about not thinking!
