What we are talking about is the conclusion you leapt to from 20 seconds of looking for evidence to suit a conclusion. Nothing in their comment "These are largely friends and peers, so they ultimately own their own risks" insists these are all people working in or on healthcare. Friends could be ... friends? Like the kind outside of work. And if someone is a peer (again, we have to assume the "at work" part), there i…

>Every executive/leader I've shown Claude Cowork to has gone from 'what is AI' to 'vibecoding whole apps' in weeks. [0] I think this is where we have the issue in my tone and approach to my comments. My response was based off of the OP stating that the people who they were introduction were 'executives/leaders' and not 'friends', which has a very different connotation when it comes to information security, liability,…

But even your pullquote insists on begging the question. No one said "Every executive/ leader at my place of business who does nothing except work with PII data all day", you presumed it.

>"I’m a CFO and network regularly with other executives, board members who also are board members at other companies, investors, people who see a combined large population of companies"

I understand why this is a good idea. I have Claude Code hooked up to my mail synced via IMAP, my Mercury read-only token, and beancount, and it gets almost all of my invoices and categorizes them. The tedious portion for a lot of this is: * find invoice I_E for expense E * associate and categorize E based on I_E and transaction field These things are annoying but Claude Code is great at it and it leaves a much small…

saying "every X i know" in all your comments is a bit ridiculous. You comments read like reddit clickbait. How many of these executives/senior/coffee bean/whatever ppl do you even know and why you the one enlightening them with claude cowork ? . "Every X i know" sounds like a large sample size. Make ridiculous claims by prefixing " every X i know" . I feel so angry at this linkedin speak. so infuriating. Hate that we…

Hate it all you want but it’s a reality in this case. There’s a reason big consulting firms are making huge pivot to AI consulting. Everyone in the business world is doing this and trying to find value with AI. I’m a CFO and network regularly with other executives, board members who also are board members at other companies, investors, people who see a combined large population of companies and I’ve not spoken to a s…

i am not hating ai or whatever. I am hating how every interaction now is some ridiculous clickbait format like "every X i know" type shit.

If its so obvious that everyone is doing it then you dont need "every executive i know takes a shit" .

every interaction is now laced with ulterior motives like op trying to pitch himself as ai expert to sell his courses or whatever. He is apparently going around blowing executives minds with claude cowork. so ridiculous.

The future is perpetually dealing with the fallout from all the vibe coding as the pool of people who'd have a shot at fixing it gets smaller and smaller. Shitty will be the new normal.

Eventually there will be an incident with bad software at a hospital or bank that leaves some people dead or broke. Then regulators will take things seriously.

What regulators?

Does Anthropic's DPA provide indemnity to code thats produced from the product and any damages associated with security vulnerabilities within that code? We are talking about vibe coded applications by executives and the risks that are associated with that, nothing within a DPA covers that. Please, be my guest, link an Anthropic DPA which includes indemnity for damages associated with the code produced. Again, you ke…

I concede that I started the thread with a joke but wow you really are upset. Let’s take a step back. Apologies again for that joke it just the entire discussion reads like non-technical non-legal advice you get from the typical corporate IT. Each entity and group have to consider the risks. I don’t think anything you’re trying to point at though is really useful for the discussion at hand. There is absolutely a use…

There is a fundamental difference between non-technical users from using Claude, or any other LLM, for whatever reason and whatever they produce being produced into production.

There are significant reasons why an organization would not want to use Cowork, because it does not fall under Anthropic's ZDR [0], which is a huge issue for... anyone dealing with anything sensitive.

What I think this comes down to is that you value velocity regardless of whatever the costs. We will get to see how that solves itself, there are going to be a lot of billable hours that are going to figure that out.

But none of this means that you have any idea what you are talking about nor do you understand why individuals or organizations act the way that they do.

You are free to do it better. Please do.

Maybe I'm misreading but that is an absurd ToS in this context. So they're telling us they have a solution to a problem, but don't trust it enough to solve it? I tend to be averse to analogies but this feels like hiring an engineering team to build a bridge, and they tell you they're not liable if the bridge fails and collapses when used to spec. If you don't actually believe in your product's capabilities, why sell…

To make a lot of money.

'"Claude for Engineers" coming to build a bridge in a town near you! You heard it here first'.

IDK if it's just me, but the rate at which Anthropic and similar are launching (and changing!) features and offerings doesn't inspire confidence. I expect stability from software and platforms I buy into and integrate into my systems.

Feels like they're just using LLMs to produce enormous levels of output, without understanding that quantity ≠ quality.

Claude keeps launching automation products but not sure if they are bothering about quality. I was using claude cowork and was hoping to get simple tasks done using web browser. It is unreliable and often fails

I'm increasingly convinced that there's a killer app waiting for whoever can come up with a UI that makes claude code or codex accessible to the average user. Onboarding my non-software engineer teammates to it has super-charged them and essentially given them all their own personal developer that can automate tasks for them. Managing codebases, etc. is still a hassle though. 90% of the power of Excel was that it was…

Maybe. The reason I think it might not be true is that some people are simply not wired to be developers: to think analytically.

Learning how to type commands and use a terminal is not something people cannot already learn right now. And that was the way before.

I think the real killer app is making marketing and other non development (non analytical) work better. In case of marketing, we have tried many AI tools for marketing, and so far they mostly make campaigns more generic, less exciting, and often worse. They help a little but you need to careful that they do not to make it worse.
