In the discussion
Well, you know, there's a tendency to anthropomorphize it, but no, like millions of people are using Claude code because this is tangentially related to how we you know, how we come up with causal abstractions in the world. So, you know, the way we do it is we are in the world...
Ways to reduce harm, set limits, test behavior, and govern how AI is used.
