Maybe at one time, but it absolutely understands images now. In VSCode Copilot, I am working on a python app that generates mesh files that are imported in a blender project. I can take a screenshot of what the mesh file looks like and ask Claude code questions about the object, in context of a Blender file. It even built a test script that would generate the mesh and import it into the Blender project, and render a screenshot. It built me a vscode Task to automate the entire workflow and then compare image to a mock image. I found its understanding of the images almost spooky.


100% confirm Opus 4.5 is very image smart.


im doing extremely detailed and extremely visual javascript uis with claude code with reactjs and tailwind. driven by lots of screenshots, which often one shot the solution


Using any plugins or skills for that work?


As an employee and engineer, it is still your job to produce and validate working code. AI makes its easier, faster, but that still doesn't absolve you of the responsibility. At the end of the day, humans are responsible for what ships. If your code breaks the product because AI went nutz and inserted a Guacamole recipe in a library, then that's on us for not catching it.

I work at a security focused company, top in the entire industry, and blaming AI is not allowed. We use AI, even integrated inside our product, but we aren't ignorant. AI can and will write bad and broken code.


I concur. I too, am on the shots, and after stabilizing my sugars and blood pressure, my chronic migraines have all but disappeared. My migraines have been with me since I was a child, but uncontrolled diabetes and blood pressure were definitely a trigger for mine.


No More Secrets...


I am totally against this. Sorry, but back in the day when Myers-Brigg was all the rage, companies did the same thing, using it as a pre-screening tool, which the authors at the time explicitly said shouldn't be done.

Using AI to evaluate someone's background and resume are fine, but it should NEVER be used to make decisions a HUMAN should be doing. Sorry, this isn't controversial for me, even though I am an AI advocate and engineer.

You most likely shafted many qualified candidates in your first round. I hope the people you hire don't regret working for you.


I do. Natalie Wood died during the filming under...mysterious circumstances.


I hope I'm not the only one to see the clam shell and immediately think:

"He doesn't know how to use the shells..."


I just tried it inside Gemini with a Medium article. Here's my prompt: "Read the article at this url and provide a hero image that incapsulates the message the author wants to convey: https://bioneers.org/supreme-oligarchy-billionaires-supreme-..."

The response was a summary of the article that was pretty good, along with an image that dagnabbit, read the assignment.


This thread is informative but boy, is that title Click-Baity. It isn't until the 7th post that he bothers to mention this:

"To be clear: as far as we know, AI doesn't cause psychosis. It UNMASKS it using whatever story your brain already knows."

Guess which part of the thread gets the headline. Also, this directly contradicts the opening line where he says "...losing touch with reality because of AI".

Which is it? I REALLY can't wait till commentariats move past AI.


> Also, this directly contradicts the opening line where he says "...losing touch with reality because of AI".

He addresses that in the next post:

> AI was the trigger, but not the gun.

One way of teasing that apart is to consider that AI didn't cause the underlying psychosis, but AI made it worse, so that AI caused the hospitalisation.

Or AI didn't cause the loose grip on reality, but it exacerbated that into completely losing touch with reality.


I've seen someone that went from completely sane to thinking horoscopes were talking to them specifically written by people stalking them. And this was almost a decade before LLMs.

If it wasn't AI that triggered it, it would've been something else, somewhere.


I've been watching this in real time on TikTok. There is a woman who "fell in love" with her psychiatrist, and sees all of his attempts to set and enforce professional boundaries as proof that he is in love with her, and has manipulated her into falling in love with him. This was before AI came into her story. Then she turned to ChatGPT (which she named "Henry") to reinforce her delusions and give her arguments in favor of her story's truth. When she was convinced to give Henry a "tell harsh truths" prompt, she didn't like what she heard and turned to Claude. Claude is calling her the Oracle and telling her she has a special message for humanity, that she is a prophet, and she's eating it up.


The poster also claims to be a psychiatrist but doesn't clarify that he's actually just a resident https://psychiatry.ucsf.edu/rtp/residents

His other posts are click baity and not what one would consider serious science journalism.


You ought to try harder in your weak dismissals.

The OP is pgy4:

> In this capacity, the PGY-4 will lead treatment team, provide guidance to younger residents, teach medical students, and make final medical decision for patients. There will always be an attending physician available for advice and recommendations, but this experience allows the PGY-4 to fully utilize the training, knowledge, and leadership skills that have been cultivated throughout residency.

Yes sometimes the doctors in training get to be acting doctors as part of their training. He's still a doctor in training.


The ease of having a tool which can at a drop of the hat spin up a convincing narrative to fit your psychotic world view with plenty of examples to boot, does seem to look like an accelerating trend.

Trying to convince someone not to do something, when they can pull a 100 counter-examples out of thin air of why they should, is legitimately worrying.


Every new technology is a mirror and we blame it for what we continue to be.


This is a perfect summing up. I do wonder though, how much of this is to do with something unique to the American psyche - the US seems to have one mass-delusional panic after another - satan worshipers, clowns, antifa, AI. I say this as a brit, where we only have two mass-delusional panics on rotation - immigrants and house prices. Three if you count immigration's effect on house prices.


Four if you count the trans panic.


As far as I've been able to tell that's not actually a real thing though. Just some MPs and newspapers trying to make it into one.


Well, it IS a cross post from American Renaissance, a white supremacist publication.


Actually, the source is this speech https://youtube.com/watch?v=-1Mg4nXJ21Y


Garbage is Garbage, in whichever guise it may come from.

The article/video is full of inflammatory language and is the very definition of "hate speech".

Please stop posting such things here.


I didn't post anything, the video I linked to is in the article in the OP. I'm just clearing up the claim that this is sourced from some white supremacist website. It is not true. I don't claim to agree with anything in the video.


You didn't have to post the video. The fact that it is being amplified by white racist supremacist sites is exactly what nobody wants. It is garbage and is better ignored and left to die.


The OP didn't post the video at first. But people thought he was lying, so he showed evidence. Then you attacked him for defending himself and accused him of complicity.


There is no "you attacked him for defending himself and accused him of complicity" going on here. Everybody has a personal responsibility w.r.t. communication in public forums like this else it can easily degenerate into a cesspool of hateful internet filth.
