Their apparent inability to get the basics right makes me severely doubt their claims of self-improving AI. The humans at Anthropic wouldn't know improvement if it landed on their lap and started twerking, and AI cannot do a job without strong human intervention into what the goals and guardrails actually are.
I'm kind of reminded of when Microsoft claimed it took a team of Ph.D.s to write a terminal application that updated at 60fps, and then Casey Muratori did it over a weekend. And this was before AI was writing code in earnest; when LLM-induced brainrot really sets in, civilization is in for a world of fresh hurt: lots more generated code, almost all of it garbage. And the promised AI crossover point where it becomes AGI, or indistinguishable from for software design purposes, recedes into the infinite future.

Agreed. Watch for a rise in cases of early onset dementia over the next few decades.

Isaac Asimov, but yes.

#8It goes beyond lying. It's kind of war, and they're the aggressor.
Everyone else needs to start treating them that way, or you're going to regret it once you realize what's actually happening.

No, we'll just find harder problems.... Coding is boring now

Reading this it occurs to me that this timeline may be moving toward a future where garbage software, garbage information etc. have become the norm for so long that the number of people who can distinguish trash from quality, or signal from noise, has become negligible.
A true era of ignorance, looking like an ocean of nonsense in which no one can really navigate as it is ungrounded in reality.
Idiocracy presents a naively gentle positive version of such future but there are many darker ones possible.
Kali Yuga, indeed.
