I deleted my claude account the day the samples started preaching from the pope’s address and claiming 50% of the jobs will be gone while shamelessly stealing entire corpus of human data without attribution while preaching what you can and cannot do and maliciously degrading model quality.

I hope they either never make it to IPO or crash violently.

Lookout - next they will rewrite the color blue in Rust and claim advantages.

Oh My !

I have never yet had a set of words that I have grown to hate so much - “taste” and “moat” being at the top of them. It is almost always coming from people who have or know about neither.

(Agree with the article’s general sentiment - but just wanted to make this tangential comment)

Cause obviously what the gamers need right now is not games - but intrusive AI that adds no utility whatsoever.

Why didn’t I think of that?

There are alternative ways to gather telemetry data about your usage, then literally polluting the commit message / PR description of the author. Why even consider doing that in the first place?

Of course - finance is the best domain to depkiy a stochastic parrot which hallucinates and forgets stuff frequently and doesn’t follow your instructions - even with SOTA models. One where you need absolute accuracy and auditabikity.

Why didn’t I think of that.

Because the l on your keyboard is broken?

Reuse is not always necessary - sometimes things are just done for fun and exploration, not for appeasing thirsty VCs and grabbing that market share.

Reinventing the exact same thing and shouting from the rooftops about it is exactly how you appease thirsty VCs and grab that market share.

Why would John Carmack who is so rich that he does things for shits, giggles and personal development, give a hoot what a VC cares about?

Might I interest you in my new startup, that is a bus, but with technology?

Sheep mentality hard at work at companies. Just because Google does it (processes, technologies, systems etc), lets also adopt it without thinking whether its relevant in our context and use-cases. I bet the same devs from these firms who are asking to traverse a minimum spanning tree would fumble at even the slightest variation of the problem appearing in daily life.

A general rant.
