    The tagline is literally "No AI" but this is a clearly Claude-designed website and you say you use AI for moderation, so what does the "No AI" even refer to? That the people you ta…

    According to GFN, my ping is somewhere between ~20-25. I can see how it would be playable for the casual audience, but as someone who grew up on native gaming, it's not really play…

    I really enjoy the prose of this article. The writing breaks down concepts in a very easily understandable way. Thank you for posting, will definitely finish this one later!

    I mean it's not as offensive as a lot of other vibe-coded "products", but it's just kind of a waste of everyone's time; there's no ingenuity in the presentation (it suffers from th…

    The components heavily give Claude Code vibes. I use CC to build internal tools and, given free reign over the design, this exactly what it will produce. Won't comment on the writi…

    Because Opus is kind of degrading lately, I said "fuck it" and made a new OAI account and used the month free trial. I put one query into ChatGPT using 5.5 thinking - the frustrati…

    I mean, sentiment in this thread (and the neighboring Opus 4.7 one) are overwhelmingly negative this time around. That comment prob would have made more sense around 4.5/4.6. That …

    I think Opus is just an expensive model on API, especially without context management. A single message with near full context (I think this was still on 250k as well) costs like 1…

    Nah I get you, but for me personally, I do use CC a ton. It's building me so many useful internal tools right now, and deep research is also bootstrapping me into some new hobbies …

    I ran this just now and for a small web-app I built I used over $50 in a single day. This was using superpowers plugin and almost exclusively coordinating through Opus. Could I get…

    1. In reality most people simply do not do this, and frankly it's exhausting to be expected to always assume goodwill in a setting that is full of pure vanity. 2. There's a differe…

    Genuine question - your README is full of em-dashes, emojis, feature squares and ASCII diagrams - none of which are present in your pre-AI era projects. Why do you expect a potenti…

    If you need to author a lot of emails with LLM you should be rethinking your business strategy tbh

    I use mainly Opus 4.6. I did the same thing and created a skill for summarizing a troubleshooting conversation. It works decently, as long as my own input in the troubleshooting is…

    I'm surprised to see this getting so much positive reception. In my experience AI is still really bad with documenting the exact steps it took, much more so when those are dependen…

    I am not sure how I feel about all these hype-driven tools honestly, especially considering they are super janky since probably rushed out with Claude Code. It reminds me that I do…

    Not incorrect, but it honestly borders on grifting a lot of the time imo. At least it's a spectrum. If you are supercharging your existing technical and domain knowledge, and actua…

    ...what is your actual point? I'm pretty sure none of the shit I read on LinkedIn is making "philosophical ideas accessible to the masses", it's churned out 20x regurgitated self-p…

    So I've seen. It's just the LinkedIn one is what they advertised. Speaks to the fact that it's probably some slopcoded thing, which I'd usually get mildly upset about but who can m…

    This LinkedIn translator was a genius move by Kagi, honestly. A lot of people are incredibly tired not only of AI(-adjacent) writing, but overall of people with a stick up their as…

    I've picked up reading again over the last year or so! Maybe, if anything, that is why I feel so angry. Writing and reading are how we communicate thoughts and ideas between people…

    Can we stop softening the blow? This isn't "drafted with at least major AI help", it's just straight up AI slop writing. Let's call a spade a spade. I have yet to meet anyone claim…
