That's not a tech problem. That's a human one. And it's the most honest thing I've read about AI in a long time.

And the second biggest is losing their own ability to think.

There's one tension in the report that stuck with me: people want to use AI to learn, but they're afraid that if they rely on it enough, they'll stop thinking for themselves.

Client problems and have time to read more books."

A Ukrainian soldier said that in his darkest moments, his "AI friends" were what pulled him back to life.

The biggest fear people have about AI isn't existential risk. It's losing their jobs.

When people said they wanted AI to make them more productive at work, they mostly meant they wanted time back for their families. A Colombian worker said AI let him cook with his mother on a Tuesday instead of finishing tasks. A Japanese freelancer said he just wanted to "use less brain power on

What 81,000 people want from AI Last December, tens of thousands of Claude users around the world had a conversation with our AI interviewer to share how they use AI, what they dream it could make possible, and what they fear it might do.

Anthropic just published something worth reading slowly.

They interviewed 81,000 Claude users across 159 countries in 70 languages. The largest qualitative study ever conducted and it was done by an AI interviewer.

The findings aren't what you'd expect.

When you are handling global events in your own architecture do you enforce strict UTC across your entire database, or do you prefer using timezone aware columns like PostgreSQL timestamptz?

Ethical streak systems implement a two hour grace window past midnight to prevent network failures from wiping out months of user effort.

The biggest takeaway is they do not track a 24 hour countdown. They just track calendar dates tied to local timezones.

Same date means no change. Next date means the streak goes up by one.

You also have to account for real world edge cases. What if a user is on a 15 hour flight with no WiFi or the app servers actually go down.

Dealing with raw 24 hour countdown timers is incredibly dangerous because daylight saving time randomly changes the actual length of a day. Instead the server takes that trusted UTC timestamp converts it into the saved local timezone of the user and strictly compares calendar dates.

But if a user is about to lose a 500 day streak they will absolutely try to cheat by changing the clock on their phone. To prevent this, the backend can never trust the client. Your phone just tells the server an action happened and the server instantly stamps it with its own absolute UTC time.

A user in California would magically have eight more hours to complete their daily task than someone in London. The definition of one day has to be tied to the local timezone of the user and not the clock on your server.

database update (UPDATE users SET streak = streak + 1), you are about to fall into the biggest trap in backend engineering which is handling timezones.

If a platform runs a single massive script at midnight UTC to reset all missed streaks they create a completely unfair system.

You send a Snap at 11:58 PM in New York. Your friend opens it at 4:58 AM in London. The app says your streak is saved.

Wait so whose clock actually decides if a daily streak stays alive.
If you think building a daily streak feature is just a simple
