> and you won't get human support or Claude – even if you are an enterprise paying out of your nose. And there's 0 redressal unless you go viral on social media. Sadly this sounds like par for the course when it comes to tech. Too many messages and requests for help depend on knowing someone in the right slack groups.
Which is very confusing to me. If you have groundbreaking AI, you can offer groundbreaking support at scale.
by then A.I would've proved its impact or 0 impact on the economy & numbers will be the only thing to show not potential.

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding the typical workload of people in Financial Services. They aren't using Claude to transfer money, they're just building a LOT of slideshows and fancy excel docs on made-up numbers to try to sell mergers and new financing options/types of loans. Most programmers would just consider this "sales".
> made-up numbers It's important to note that in most jurisdictions you can't actually do this legally? Like, you may be able to get away with it , but it is actually illegal to sell financial services by misrepresentation?
"They will have $1B in revenue by year end" is perfectly fine to completely make up.
I don't trust these AI-only companies to be overnight experts in properly handling medical, financial and insurance data. They have no business providing these tools, unless they want to take all the risk too.

that domain knowledge is acquired by talking to people - which A.I can't do - all kinds of people since the knowledge isn't written down.
I know this having dated a girl who did M&A deals for media properties - you know your big tv shows/movies etc

Before AI, shipping code to production used to be a two-person task: one writes the code, another one reviews the code. Now with AI writing the code, the developer that was supposed to write the code, only has to review it. And this is because they are responsible for the code they ship. Code review has become unbearable because before AI, developers were reviewing code as they went writing it in the first place. Gra…
Why not the developer write the code, then the AI review the code, and then finally a signoff from another human? Far too often people think productivity is the point. Maybe the point is developer's understanding of the product IS the product? You're not engineering black boxes, you're engineering legible boxes.
This is an interesting take.

I work in a space where one could imagine a Claude replacing our product. I think someone stated it clearly - they can't take on these kinds of businesses until they build out the risk side and the personnel, all of which is a human problem not a tech one. A lot of processes still require physical steps and backstops because it's not possible to source all the data needed to act on it in the first place. Then you hav…
> they can't take on these kinds of businesses until they build out the risk side and the personnel, all of which is a human problem not a tech one. Yes they can? They have infinite more cash to pay off any risk. What do you need personnel for besides sign off if the AI does it right?
Will the big labs leave anything for external competition? This probably killed a thousand startups in this space. in the early internet you wouldn't see google creating their own news site or facebook building their own animal farm. what happened to platformication of everything?
There was an app for OSX that added window snapping, long before Apple added it to their desktop environment. $5 or something for a free feature that just makes sense to build into your product from the start. Apple is king at absorbing this sort of paid add on, eventually. AI makes that faster.

I find all of these .md files released by the labs to be ai generated slop. The only exception being maybe the /simplify command
It still surprises me how effective the /simplify skill is. I’ve also had some great results with a /reflect skill that asks the agent to look at the work in the broader context of the project. But those are the only two skills I use regularly that aren’t specific to our company, codebase, or tools.

No surprise there. Of course the skill files are not human written. The AI is an expert in both following and generating prompts.
