1. Feed the same queries into Claude 2. Train on the Claude responses 3. ??? 4. Profit

This has been the strategy for months now

But this is okay?

“He has /people/ write shitty code for features other /people/ think other people want, then has it reviewed by other /people/ in hopes of catching bugs that the first /people/ put there, then has some more /people/ try to find security bugs in the now /double-peopled/ code to make it /triple-peopled/ and at the end of the day, he spent a shitton of /money, the people/ probably emitted enough carbon to heat our planet by another degree, and has a feature nobody really asked for that might or might not work.”

Honestly sounds like a normal tech company to me. Just with much dumber “people” who are getting exponentially smarter, eventually never die, eventually never forget.

You have to skate to where the puck is going, not where it is.

ITT: same mistakes as when GPT-1 and the first GANs for images were released.

Remember when video generation looked like this 3 years ago? https://xcancel.com/minchoi/status/1911275924458270906

Maybe try prompting GPT-2 or 1 again? https://huggingface.co/spaces/mkmenta/try-gpt-1-and-gpt-2

The first automobiles could only go 10 mph. The first flight only lasted 12 seconds.

A good investor or inventor sees the potential of an idea, not just the limits of the current instantiation. This indeed gets details wrong, but anyone who thinks we’re not headed in this direction in the next half-decade or so will likely be woefully incorrect.

Give it room to improve. Don’t claim victory before the battle has even begun!

There’s only one solution to this.

Quit your job.

Makes me happy to see the influx of jj posts as of late. Great tool. Roughly this workflow is how I convinced a few friends to finally loosen their death grip on git and try something new.

Wow. Insane throwback. I think I first learned about ZoneAlarm from some PC magazine my parents bought for me. Completely forgot about this great piece of freemium!
