>I am building a product in that space :) I don't know anyone not building a product in that space

I think everyone is making bespoke versions of what they think people want. It all feels gimmicky and dev oriented. I have a vision for what will be the next household ChatGPT: 1. An actually frictionless way of keeping the human in the loop. My product is primarily targeting that: Your tools should feel like an extension of you, not replacing you. 2. Juggling work. I feel like what I'm making here is the secret sauc…

This is not a vision…. I’m convinced most of you on here are delusional and have no conception of a great product.

Play the ball, not the man, dude. Hectoring people on the Internet because you're stressed out about something isn't going to magically fix how you feel. Digging into their profile to make it personal is three steps too far.

We are talking about one person's introduction of a technology to persons and the implications of that action within the framework of enterprise governance and risk, it is one in the same. If anything, who a person is, their knowledge of the domain and the associated implications that action has on the domain has relevancy where someone who is ignorant of implications may have more grace than someone who has the expe…

I think the one thing you are not taking into account is that the investors on average fundamentally don’t care. Scale arbitrage means that small companies are fundamentally about velocity - and if they get sued due to regulations that do not pierce the corporate veil, they just fold. And the ones that did not get sued make money for the vc. And figure out later how to be hipaa etc compliant. Basically, I’ve been seeing over the last 10 years VCs are not caring about insurance or corporate liability - sink rate is so high it is irrelevant.

For big corps - this is different. But modulo hipaa - this is why they are gung ho hi about binding arbitration - they are trying to match velocity to some degree - and mostly failing…

Claude code is good, Opus as general model is a hot hallucinating piece of garbage. I asked it to review a single page 50 rows, 2 column excel file. It hallucinated almost everything in the file. It repeated that for the next two files I asked it to review, these were tiny files, barely 20 kb.

The funny part is Opus was the one which generated the files in the first place. This was Opus 4.7 High. So no thank you, Anthropic.

> Then when Claude is down for an hour, they get visibly angry and don't remember how to do anything pre-Claude :) The drug is scary when everyone is depending on it. I wonder what is future like.

Same as anything else. It’ll go down sometimes, people will take a break and chat, then it will come back up. Like Slack or GitHub or AWS or whatever. It’s almost always a net positive to wait vs do it yourself.

What about when you work at Anthropic?

So businesses don’t mind sharing ALL their internal documents, plans, code, designs with Anthropic? Or did that ship already sail? I know that Google, Atlassian, Microsoft et al have been having access to our emails and online docs for a while… it just strikes me as naive to now sharing everything by default to a single company just like that. They are not just training on internal business data, I would imagine they…

A lot of companies have Microsoft or Google as primary service providers. Which means all their documents are cloud first. Anthropic is just another provider there. The model of "everything is online" is the same.

There is no way to facilitate untrained users in the healthcare space to vibe code real applications touching patient data. There is no magic policy, firewall, or "facilitation technique" which can make vibe coded software reliably meet contractual and regulatory obligations with a high degree of security in the healthcare space. If you care about data privacy, especially your own protected health information, that s…

You guys have jumped to so many conclusions it’s amazing.

You've got to believe that they're doing this based on market research via the prompts people are entering, both as small businesses and possibly side project hackers not on plans without appropriate IP protection. My point being, they know they need to make a viable business, and they've clearly seen demand. Meaning there are already a lot of small businesses trying to use Claude to do these things. Given what they…

i think its obvious they see themselves as google and not meta. theyre targeting b2b and will slowly squeeze out subscriptions towards everything is a token credits. eventually there wont be model selection and just varying credit types and conversions.

Since the "grand" idea is that all they need is the "god model with infinite parameters requiring infinite energy", the business model will align there.
