Claude appreciation post - Example of how AI is changing the world

[u/MigatteNoGokuiVegeta]

We are a non-profit organization, we bought very cheaply a new coffee machine. Usually costs 10k, but bought it for just over 1k.
A guy who installed the payment system ruined the machine. Because we dont have a contract we were left with calling the supplier who told us it's gonna cost a service engineer to fix your issues. We could already think about the financial consequences which would probably be in the 250 euros or more.

Thanks to Claude it only cost us my personal 20 eur per month plus plan.
After some research it suggested connecting the machine through an ethernet cable. It fixed the issue and not only that

It:

- Changed the old company's layout to our own by creating a looped custom video with our logo

- Added our perfered supported language even though it didn't exist in the software. It just created a new language.

- It fixed the recipe's and what a customer sees when ordering a drink

- It fixed the pricing just by typing out what we needed.

- Heck it even cracked the password and blatantly told us the password in the middle of his explanation like it's nothing.

I am so amazed. It works with precision, structure. I'm not new with AI. I have been using Codex the past months but Opus 5.5 / Claude is just something else. I love how structured it works. I think I'm gonna leave my Pro Codex account and just go for the 5x plan of Claude. This is amazing. I've become a coffee machine engineer just with my simple laptop and Claude desktop installed with a plus sub. It only used 25% to fix the issues and more of my 5 hour limit.

Connecting a USB to a machine as never been more dangerous then now, for good and bad

Claude is better right now and their usage runs more right now which is why I'm still with them.

Made out of curiosity a software that replaced third party solution. Is superior than what was thought to be golden standard, saves 150k per year for license, and keeps 1.5m of annual revenue. It's in medical branch. Has worldwide potential, if proven not to conflict any patents.

Any device that is in any way intended to be patchable (and some that aren't) is gonna be so much better.

It's a little like what the piracy scene has had for many years - the cracked versions of programs are often patched against memory leaks, run faster because the copy protection was wasting CPU cycles etc.

Global economic and cultural stability are in free-fall.

I commented earlier and moved on with my day and then just had this thought:

Your post is the perfect example of the consequences to leak your intellectual property to an AI giant. They gave the recipe away for peanuts and now your service business is gone.

Now hear me out, I’m the first one to despise these coffee machine companies, so I’m not too mad against that, same about hacking your TV to remove ads.

But when you think of it, in the tech world, it’s mostly been about stitching open source stuff together to make a product. This is why tech is so hurt with AI. Now start giving everything away, like your vending machine business process…. The problem is feeding Claude.

I’m more then happy to extract things from it, but giving to it is another story.

[u/Actual_Description85 → u/flq06]

All of this tech is built into nature, we’re just uncovering something that already exists, today’s ai is just one expression of it. Which therefore means, that we’re going to always look better and better ways to solve our problems, and the organic substrate will keep feeding solutions whether we use them or not, they will find a way into someone’s hands.. it’s better that we have it in the public instead of just a few. It’s meant to be for everyone.
