Playing in the Creek

Hastings, LessWrong, Apr 18, 2025

This is a fun article but if you want to go meta, read the comments. Tne idea is that you can put your full effort into play, but only up to a certain point, at which it stops being a game and becomes (one of) serious, dangerous, harmful or banned. The author - known only as Hastings - recounts a number of such instances through their childhood. The twist, that comes at the end, is: "Anthropic appears, in their latest report on usage in education," seems to be sensing these limits. Ah. But as I say, do read the comments.
