If you look at his recent content, I think he's gotten LLM Psychosis unfortunately

Hypothetically you take the leading expert of a field and say "they believe in their own field too much - far more than I do as a layman - and therefore surely must have psychosis." Why should I trust that your assessment is correct? Is it likely to ever be correct in the case of a doctor/mechanical engineer/athlete/economist/whatever? So why do so many people insist that an incredibly intelligent AI researcher has f…

Kinda funny that you are asking "how does one judge someone?" while apparently not understanding how to judge someone.

Anthropic has drawn lines with the most powerful organization in the world, that OpenAI capitulated on within hours for a small contract.

Their statement on this issue opened by emphasizing how eager they are to help kill people: >I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States and other democracies, and to defeat our autocratic adversaries. There is no universe where this can be described as anything close to ethical.

It's not controversial to say that democracy is a more ethical form of government than autocracy. It's also not controversial to say that violence is sometimes justified when it's in self-defence or to prevent a greater injustice from happening. So what's the ethical objection to that statement?

They didn't backpedal at all, you're spreading FUD. Their red lines are still in place. They are the only AI company with those red lines.

Ah yes, right [1] https://www.obsolete.pub/p/exclusive-anthropic-is-quietly-ba... [2] https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/25/tech/anthropic-safety-pol... [3] https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-dials-back-ai-safety-c...

Those sources don’t claim Anthropic is crossing its red lines (AI-controlled weapons and mass domestic surveillance of American citizens).

Karpathy will start this week on Anthropic's pre-training team, which is responsible for the massive training runs that give Claude its core knowledge and capabilities, according to Anthropic. Source: https://www.axios.com/2026/05/19/anthropic-openai-karpathy-a...

Specifically it looks like he's planning to extend the ideas from https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch into a larger effort towards recursive training improvement [1]: > Excited to welcome Andrej to the Pretraining team! He'll be building a team focused on using Claude to accelerate pretraining research itself. I can’t think of anyone better suited to do it — looking forward to what we build together! [1] https:/…

I guess we must expect it at this point. But funny that has model written tokens like ’ instead of '

Anyone else fearing Anthropic more and more each day? Not from a perspective that they are doing so well, but rather that it's like an industry tornado, sucking up and destroying everything in it's path.

its destroyed my codebases with ai slop , errors, and code maintenance nightmares going forward. i feel bad for anyone having to work on ai generated code.

MCP is barely an invention. It's a fuzzy spec detailing a pretty obvious design pattern.

LLM is barely an invention. It's an auto complete we had years before.

LLM is not comparable to MCP or skills. There's no way I could've come up with LLMs on my own. Anyway Claude Code is the best.

Anthropic is on a roll: - best harness overall (well maybe until like a month ago when gpt5.5 and codex came out) - acquires bun - acquires stainless for SDKs - deal with Elon for compute - karpathy what else did I miss?

1. Best harness? It ranks the worst with Opus in terminalbench: https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0?models=... 2. Mixed for the entire bun ecosystem, especially with the Rust, Anthropic-focused rewrite 3. Good, because Anthropic's SDK was one of the worst ones to use. 4. Deal with the guy that has a shit ton of compute around wasting money because no-one uses Grok and was frequently calling Anthropic…

I've never heard of any of those other harnesses

NTA but Claude Code is everything but beloved. It's incredibly meh, very buggy (to that extend that customers were literally losing money), heavily vibecoded and all around just... bad. I appreciate it for kickstarting the whole terminal agent thing and I would still use it but only because Anthropic mandates it for using Claude with your subscription.

Yep, sadly the case, been using Codex CLI a lot lately and it somehow feels more... refined. Gemini is just tragic.

Gemini is insanely bad. It even takes super long to start up, why??

It's probably parsing the contents of the entirety of https://killedbygoogle.com/ when it starts up

Hey, it's not like the Chinese have a serious demographic crisis they can't cope with, and their only hope is to significantly increase productivity per worker.

The USA does too, but it seems all we can talk about in America is how workers are "obsolete".

Anyways, what do you think the solution is to that?
