Why the hell does it need to be so complex? People have been making TUIs for decades. Did we need a small game engine to run claude code?

#183I find any and all claims like this ridiculous from a company who can't build a terminal application that uses less than a gigabyte of RAM.
If you want to pollute your own priors with weird artificial litmus tests, it's a free country, but the artificial world-model you build in your head does not affect the real world around you.

Developers can develop leaner applications, but they're usually not incentivized to. Frankly, I love efficiency too, but I've hard to learn the hard way that what the market wants is features . Or at the very least, the executive team wants that.

On a more serious note using a react-like lib for TUI in the hope you'll share the codebase with the web version is a more likely explanation. Still not the best idea.

#186So, regardless of whether or not Anthropic CAN create a self improving AI.. does anyone else feel like they shouldn't be allowed to? Or it at least needs to be strictly supervised..? Like, I don't actually think Anthropic can make the singularity any time soon, but I think even AI boosters have to admit doing this is creating a society-wide danger for the benefit of a very very small number of already-rich people.
But we're discussing whether we should close the barn door while the horse is three miles down the road.

No. Technical limitations aside, I doubt it could be contained, but will be leaked soon, so won't profit just a small number of ultra rich.

Infrastructure is a much harder problem. They can't even improve Claude Code, which eats 1GB+ of RAM. Meanwhile, my editor only consumes 80MB of RAM.

Yup. Overengineering.
Re: When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
#189I disagree with this. Good code is easy to change, which is much harder to accomplish than code that can be added to.
"If technical trends in advancing capabilities continue, and AI systems are able to develop the capabilities inherent to transformative human ingenuity, then it is plausible that AI systems could design and refine themselves."
I find the first premise weak and implausible, and the second one is obviously false. To me it comes across as an insult to the reader.

In any case firms that get too powerful can be nationalised.
