Production code written by Claude should have a higher bar than if it was written by a human. At Anthropic, we have many guardrails in place to make sure this is happening: lots of lint rules, lots of tests, Claude-drive…

My comment on Feeling sad about AI — Hacker News. I'm not sure how useful it is to say this, but I think a lot of people (myself included, a few years ago now) have been through this moment of existential crisis and come…

I'm a newbie to AI. After using GenAI for sometime, I was wondering how much can an AI generated image be different from its real trained dataset. To be more clear I can give an example, there is a site called thispoerso…

California's new AI auditing laws point to a shift from companies making their own safety claims to proving those claims in independent review.
