Same reason as some people like to get their balls slapped.
Sucks to be you if you're not on PHP 8 :|
> I’ve recently worked with senior engineers who are terrible at wielding agents, and recent grad engineers who multiple themselves 100x
Wow, so you worked with recent grads who are producing 100x the slop? No wonder Anthropic doesn't hire junior engineers.
As if Anthropic was a model of successful company...
They are nowhere near profitable, have terribly bad products riddled with bugs (9,000+ open reports on Claude Code), and have no moat. Why would anyone listen to how they work internally?
Ok except apparently Waymo is more expensive than human-driven alternatives.
Are the higher prices in the room with us? Amazon is always at least as cheap. I mean they literally track the prices on competitors and auto-update them.
Only a fool would think they're getting any money back from an organization that is clearly broke.
None of this is a hyperbole. If you think it is, you're just part of the cult.
"advancing". Absolutely laughable, we're talking about less than 20% accuracy on benchmarks. 100% useless.
Or simply make people who choose insecure passwords criminally responsible for the fallout.
He didn't say it's a working kit.
No, because the monkeys do end up writing the work correctly. There's absolutely no guarantee that any of those papers are correct in any way.
It literally is just spam, and nothing else.
It's like the Nobel disease: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_disease
It's extremely likely that a very high number of Redditors do actually know more/better than a Harvard Particle Physics professor on the topics on which he published papers, which include ecology, health, economy, geology, etc.
This is literal slop.
> Sometimes I wonder if my life would be different if I'd had a LinkedIn account. Maybe someone would have reached out 15, 10 or even 5 years ago, especially when some of my skills were in demand!
Just as a frame of reference, my profile on LinkedIn is not marked as "Looking for jobs" and I receive multiple recruiter messages every week, often one per day.
Not having LinkedIn is not really a viable option nowadays (unfortunately), unless you know you're in an extremely stable job that you plan to stay at for decades to come (which you can never know).
Then you go check the author's profile on LinkedIn and see that he also posts slop most of the time...
I have all that and LLMs invariably produce garbage, so, no.
> The opposite would be weird: if they do NOT have an unreleased in-house model that would be really odd.
This isn't at all what I said. The original commenter mentioned a model MUCH stronger than Astra.
> Also it lets you build things no one else in the world can build as fast as you until it's released
"We can generate slop faster than anyone in the world" :evil_emoji:
Yes, and none of those tasks require even the current SOTA models.
No? The top of human engineers are much better than any model would be, so AI models really aren't a big advantage when you're trying to develop anything that is SOTA.
> its not done training, why would they release a model that hasn't finished training?
Because clearly they have no problem with releasing newer versions of models even just a week apart.
> besides, we know anthropic are sitting on models too
It is from your crystal ball or from other bullshit you heard from Anthropic employees on Twitter?
We all know Anthropic had Mythos and Fable, and they turned out to be completely normal models, entirely in line with the capability of their predecessors.
All they do is lie, and you're believing their lies.
> We already know OpenAI has "bel" that is MUCH better than astra and is being used internally
You're just believing their own bullshit. There's no indication that this is true except from claims from people working at OpenAI.
If they really had a much more powerful model, it would make absolutely no sense to sit on it.
> scheming about something else like regulatory capture to protect their market.
This but they also equate dangerous with powerful, which is just marketing again.
> Both fakecloud and its website look sloppily vibe-coded
As if the MiniStack website wasn't also obviously vibe-coded lol.
Ease of implementation is a decent indicator of good design. If you're delegating implementation to a machine that WILL implement whatever you ask it to implement, however badly designed it is, you don't get that signal at all.
Only a fool would believe that without actively coding you can produce good designs. If you don't code, your overall software engineering skills are atrophying.
Yet another nonsensical comparison to attempt to legitimate reckless AI use.
No, playing an instrument VS making electronic music has absolutely no comparison to writing code by hand or with AI.
You're comparing the difference between a motor skill and a knowledge-based competency, with the difference between two knowledge-based competencies.
I encourage everyone who is heavily coding with AI to try even a single hour without AI at all. You will be SHOCKED at how your skills have atrophied.
