I think a lot of that is people who were always very insecure because they’re mediocre engineers. Previously asking questions or not understanding something was a bit painful but n…

To be fair it’s also worth noting that it’s much easier to find a buggy edge case with existing code than it is to write bug free code that doesn’t have any edge cases at all. It’s…

Anthropic Needs to have the most intelligent and scary agents, so if OpenAI does something bad they need to prove their models can do even worse. Without that the whole valuation c…

Is it "anti-LLM" or is it anti "here's some code I don't understand that a machine generated for me kthxbye"? Code is not just code, it's also liability and trust.

A bit of good old “it’s really good idea, I love it, great effort … BUT” Mixed with “if kids can’t get semi dangerous drugs from the back of my van then they will be forced to buy …

I'm sure Anthropic would love for everyone to believe that soon they will be the sole provider of "skills" for the entire planet and every single business transaction is done as a …

I have never seen a plan written by LLM that wasn’t vague and light on details, every time I need to ask for more details and every time I ask to implement it trips over some dead …

Every idea taken to extreme becomes unbearable. I ask friends for recommendations on what to read or watch, and I enjoy doing that. But if they would follow me around everywhere an…

Here’s an idea: Musk launches a ton of orbital gpus but in reality it’s just an empty shell and real gpus sit in unused grok data centres. How would we even know?

It used to be that you need a good reason to make huge refactorings, because it’s often so much work. Now agent can rewrite half of your code if your prompt is vague enough and you…

How do you manage to make Opus follow any rules? Maybe it’s a windsurf thing but I have a ton of custom rules and Opus just ignores most of them. GPT on the other hand follows them…

I often find myself annoyed when Opus fixes a typo in a comment and decides to run tests, lints and whenever else it can find to run. Often it will start by stashing current change…

I need to write code because otherwise LLMs will write too much code, it’s only when you fully understand the problem you can generalise it enough to not end up with 10k lines and …

Oh the number of time LLM will, for example, be giving me the list of bugs it found in code, when I ask it for a review, just to decide there’s no big half way through explaining i…

I think the problem here is that LLMs aren’t really “intelligence models” but more like “knowledge models”. LLMs don’t “think”, they just use a clever trick to make it seem like th…

Silicon Valley is working round the clock to make bad behaviour as cheap and easy as possible, while taking all the profits. PR floods are probably the most innocent of this. Imagi…

For me the biggest issue with AI coding model is not that it writes code, or how it writes code, or whether it will replace me or not. I mean, these are real problems, but just not…

What’s the point of paying people a ton of money and giving them lots of power if they simply follow a script given to them by others?

I am constantly confused at work that people see AI as binary: it’s either a person writing the code and taking ownership of it, or it’s AI and the poor person has no control. It’s…
