Because you're trying to use it yourself. Don't do that, tell Claude to write a script that does what you want. I'm only being half-flippant here.
Would you trust your private files to a Claude-generated Dropbox/syncthing clone?

Right now I sort of trust Dropbox, but considering how much enshittification it has already undergone relative to its original mission statement, the company could do any number of things to lose that trust in a hurry. Someday they will, probably, and I won't be able to do anything about it except complain...
... except that's no longer true. Which is awesome.

Is the CDOs statement to be read as "We have no moat."?
We have the infamous "Dropbox" is a weekend project, well now I'd say we are in the era of it. And I bet I could build within 5 working day a Saas replacement of Domo. There is no moat anymore.

Agreed. This place is legit delululand. I speak to people who work at the upper echelons across various industries regularly and whether you want to believe it or not idc - the management are desperately trying to push AI but it just doesn’t add much value to what they do. At best it’s just a really good search engine across internal data. Many of these places already had things called macros in place so there’s bare…
We have a skewed-to-the-positive view about AI around here because we are the industry where it has turned out to work to a significant degree. We can argue about whether it lived up to the promises and the practical implications of using it and how much you can trust it, etc., but it's actually a debate in our space because there is enough value that it is worth debating. I think in a lot of other spaces it isn't wo…
Well... except that it actually hasn't. A handful of people are saying "yeah we're getting huge gains, it's unreal". But most devs here talk about how it's at best a modest speedup, and at worst slows them down. So even for programming, the thing they are supposedly good at, LLMs aren't actually that good.

I think it's just hard to know this for the people working on it. AI radically changed my life. I'm doing at least 10 times more, more ambitious, higher quality work. I've been listening to people around me talking about alignment and the singularity for almost a decade. It's strange to imagine that people live in a world where this isn't and hasn't been happening for a while now. "Over-hyped" is not the word I would…

> I'm doing at least 10 times more, more ambitious, higher quality work. Is your pay scaling in a similar manner? Or have you just raised the floor for what's expected of you?

> if I take my daily experience as an example, nor when I consider even lower-bound projections. did you generate 10x more income in the time AI changed your life? What is the projection you are doing?
