I got a lot of accounts shadowbanned for criticizing AI.

This is probably the case for a lot of AI critics, which will increase the numbers of new accounts talking about AI.

To think people want to pretend that Claude isn't AGI.

Just don't use AI, dummy. It's good for writing React and nothing else.

A lot of the people here are proud to demonstrate how easily dominated they are.

No because they updated CLAUDE.md to say "don't write any bugs".
I think that you're dangerously gullible if you choose to believe that these firms ever cared about safety.

In general, I'd describe AI believers as being dangerously gullible.

I'm sorry but no one is buying this Democrat bullshit in 2026.

We know the Democrats work for the same billionaires and industry leaders as the Republicans. We know they vote to fund the same concentration camps and secret police as the Republicans.

I think it should be banned. I want AI users to inhabit the same social position as crack heads.

I feel bad about this detail because I am using this account to troll about AI. The political commentary is sincere.

I'm sorry to break it to you but the Democrats will never support labor again.

The Democrats will tell you sweet nothings and then sell you out to finance capital like they have for the last 40 years.

> while schools teach about the years where people talented were allowed to study and make a living out of their talent.

Schools won't teach about something they don't want you to do. They'd just invent an alternate history.

The Wright brothers constructed an elaborate prompt in order to get BC-GPT-3.5 to generate the plans for the first working airplane.

It is genuinely dehumanizing for you to accuse me of not being human.

Senfeld aired on NBC, a public network. It's tightly integrated into the plot of the show.
Re:Claude Code Remote Control on Wednesday February 25, 2026 @09:01AM (#47151585)
I don't see how the quality could be so low unless they coded it by hand.

Claude is nearly AGI and would never produce something so poor.

> Let's fire 'em and hire AI seems like the obvious choice --- for someone with a grade school mentality and blinded by greed.

Someone's getting nervous about being replaced by A(G)I

I asked Simon W point blank if he was funded by AI companies about a week ago and he said no, so I am actually surprised by this.
If you're looking for a sign, this is it.

Start planning your layoffs *today*.

Claude is that good.

I laid off half of my UI team (4 developers) and replaced them with $2000 per month per head of Claude API tokens.

Productivity has never been higher.

This new wave of models is seriously something different -- this is nothing like GPT 4.0; this is real intelligence.

Have you even used Claude?

You can feel it coming.

^This. Claude is very rapidly approaching AGI.

Opus 4.6 is SPECIAL. nothing like other models. This is a new breed of intelligence.

I give it 18-24 months until we see a full-scale societal transformation.

COVID and "AI" lowered the threshold of acceptable service to the extent that software vendors are making offshoring attempts again.
> the problem is that people from OpenAI/Anthropic are saying things like superintelligence in 3 years, or boris saying coding is solved and that 100% of his code is written by AI.

I'm going to be honest, you can feel the AGI when you use newer agentic tools like OpenClaw or Claude. It's an entirely different world from GPT-4.0. This is serious intelligence.

Superintelligence in 3 years doesn't really sound that crazy given how quickly I can write code with Claude. I mean we're 90%-95% of the way there already.

no jokes allowed on HackerNews
AI may have added basically zero to US economic growth, but tech sector productivity is 250%-300% of what is was before Claude Code was released because of all the 10x-20x engineers it created.
