Claude just saved me from sending money to a scammer and now I feel 90 years old

I’ve been using Claude mostly for coding and summarizing boring work docs, but today it accidentally became my cyber security therapist. I got an email from what looked exactly like one of my vendors asking me to update payment info for an invoice. Same writing style, same signature, referenced a real project, everything. I was literally about to send the payment when something felt slightly off, but I couldn’t explain why. Out of curiosity I pasted the email into Claude and asked if anything looked suspicious. It immediately pointed out a bunch of manipulation tactics I completely missed, ...

I paused, went to eat, took shower, 1 prompt later, 45% (8 mins into a new session)

I was working on a project, I got hungry went to eat and take a shower while also having this be my break, came back, session was at 0%, typed to claude that the animation of the CSS needs to be slower and more subtle, he changed it, 45% usage. Nowhere did it warn me that possibly cache was cold or that I would be consuming a lot of tokens to CONTINUE a chat that I didn't close on the same PC. So now I have to slow down my work and wait for this 5 hour cycle to end to properly speed up my progress.

Dictation is the fastest way to work now, but how do you deal with the awkwardness of using it in an open office?

I'm a fast typer, but I find my projects go a lot better when I'm able to really dictate with Claude. I appreciate this won't be the case for all of you. At the moment I'm much more productive if I'm working from home or in a quiet space. There is a sensitivity setting on FluidVoice so I try to whisper, but so far it just ends up feeling too awkward and I go immediately back to typing. Also someone inevitably starts talking louder somewhere else in the office and the acoustics can impact what I'm saying. You can't express your questions and theories as freely as you'd like, because you'...

Let's talk about ban policy

Should users be banned? If Anthropic wants to be the next Google, meaning revolutionize the internet and the way computers are used. Should users be banned? I've been reading a lot of horror stories lately about people getting banned for stupid things like "research work," standard usage, or simply security research. Who decides? Exactly, the model. Then you get banned without the possibility of appeal because same model read appeals. Sure, people create new accounts, but it's only a matter of time before Claude Code collects device fingerprints. Perhaps it's already doing so. Should C...

Seems Claude is now aware of its own memory? Tested via number guessing game

A month ago, there was a post that shows that Claude couldn't access its own memory: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1seune4/claude\_cheated\_at\_a\_number\_guessing\_game\_got/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1seune4/claude_cheated_at_a_number_guessing_game_got/) The community was summarised as saying this in their posts: >The community points out that Claude can't see its own <thinking> blocks from previous turns. However, now it seems that Claude can access its memory reliably, though: * It often seems to pick 7 or 42 for me * In my second screenshot wi...

How does Claude (with access to the law) perform compared to law-specific AI systems (like Westlaw/Lexis)? We ran a series of head to head tests

We’re now a couple of years into the AI wave, and it seems like the available legal AI technology has begun splitting down two different tracks: In one direction, there are general purpose AI systems like Claude or Chat GPT; in the other direction you have purpose-built legal AI systems like Westlaw’s AI Deep Research and Lexis Protege. We’re two active litigators (Ding and Duff) who use both Claude and Westlaw regularly. Curious to see how well the various systems perform legal research, we decided to run a series of comparison tests consisting of five prompts across all three systems. We t...
