A lot of MBA bean counter types lack the intelligence or self awareness to realise they are part of a big scam and seem to earnestly think they are doing an important and valuable job. That’s how you end up as a mid level spokes person at Pitchbook rather than someone making billions by doing investment fraud an AI company

Giving Claude or copilot attribution plays into the narrative that LLMs are more than just random word generators and that they can be ascribed authorship… I think it’s a deliberate strategy so that when there’s inevitably a massive copyright case MisAnthropic etc al can say “but looks at all the code co-written by Claude on GitHub” to try and convince the judge.

Just imagine building a house and saying “well I didn’t do it on my own, my concrete mixer, toolbelt and coffee machine all helped!”

This guy introduces himself as the first person who will never die on the conference circuit (because he’s super into longevity and anti-aging tech and having young mens blood injected into him and stuff).

I’m not condoning violencr here but rather… consider that even if you never age, you can still get hit by a bus Bryan!

New fun consequence of Claude code being a pile of cursed regex and spaghetti: keyword blocking on “OpenClaw” makes it refuse to works on Pro or Mac subs unless you open your wallet

Some gold in this thread over on Reddit about how the cost of compute is far beyond the cost of employees and that’s with the “Uber in 2016” subsidized price

New favourite description for brainless MBAs: “perpetual oven vouchers”

Jeez that pricing scheme is so confusing. You swap your dollars for credits and then using models to burn tokens consumes some multiple of those credits. It is so abstract and meaningless it almost reminds me of crypto.

Once usage billing kicks in, what value does copilot offer above and beyond what ClosedAI and MisAnthropic offer directly? A more clunky user experience and even worse reliability? Bargain!

I wonder if the button colours immediately made US readers pick a side e.g. republican Vs democrat. If the buttons had been Yellow and Purple would it make a difference?

There is just something so inherently smug and annoying about Mollick. He is one of those low information boosters whose posts sound intellectual until you really think about them.

Tell me more about how the pile of cursed spaghetti that is Claude code is now viable due to model breakthroughs. All I see are hype men saying “the new model is a team of PhDs in your pocket” and then releasing disappointing updates or saying “the new model is too dangerous” because they have some vaporware powered by human crowdsourcing.

Also coding is not like other areas - you can test for hallucinations by compiling and printing and running tests.

I guess my first mistake this morning was opening linkedin

Probably a markdown file telling it “you are a l33t h4x0r”

Claude Mythos… I’m already sick of hearing about it. The self-imposed critihype is insane.

A friend just pointed out that Anthropic are making all this big noise about having an AI that is “too good” at finding bugs and security problems 1 week after the source code for one of their flagship products was leaked to the public and was found to be riddled with security holes… Why would they not use it themselves?

Same as the vague markdown files skills that are supposedly going to make all SaaS redundant and finally kill off all the COBOL running on mainframes that checks notes IBM have spent hundreds of thousands of man hours trying to kill over the last 3-4 decades

Honestly fuck this shit. Bunch of absolute clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡

Does it still count if it turns out that Trump invading iran was based on Claude or ChatJippity advice and things escalate to global thermonuclear war? AI technically wiped out humanity because our dumb leaders were dumb enought to trust it?

Alas, foiled again! Nobody said they had to be leading 9s!

GitHub have finally achieved zero 9s stability for the last 90 days. Congratulations to all involved

Cloudflare casually license-laundering wordpress

While EmDash aims to be compatible with WordPress functionality, no WordPress code was used to create EmDash. That allows us to license the open source project under the more permissive MIT license.

Oh really. So you’re sure you Claude wasn’t trained on wordpress? It’s all irrelevant anyway because AI generated code can’t be copyrighted or licensed.

Silver lining, it might piss off Matt Mullenweg!

In my experience “all hands” meetings are very much CEOs and their sycophants cosplaying at podcast hosts for an hour whilst forcing their employees to watch/listen. They are almost never useful and a colossal waste of money - especially in corporation’s with 10k+ employees. Like the salary cost for 10k people for 1 hour would probably pay off my mortgage.

Absolutely but MeeMaw read in the paper that OpenAI is the future of all work and jobs and they’re gonna make $$$$$ so she’s investiging her 401k (sorry I’m bri’ish so I don’t know if that makes sense but the point I’m trying to make is that they will absolutely find bag holders in retail investors once they IPO)

Ads in pull requests? Sure why not sigh

Misaligned incentives. You read the news to be informed. Journalists write "news* to generate clicks and “try to go viral”

I agree though, It would be great if they didn’t provide oxygen to these flaming idiots

5 Tools You Can Vibe Code For Your Business In Under An Hour exactly the sort of slop from someone with a hard-on for AI, no understanding of the risks of vibe coding core parts of your business’ infrastructure and guest writes for Forbes would produce.

Starts with a sickening intro that leans into “pilled” to be “down with the kids”

If you haven’t joined the Claudepilled crowd, open an account and play.

Bright ideas include “copy and paste the source code from your home page into Claude” but overlooks the how to actually get those changes deployed part.

Wanna see my cool website. It’s at http://localhost:1234/ take that web developers!

Then she describes building a custom internal dashboard…

Open Claude Code and describe your business. List every software tool you use. Ask it to suggest the key metrics you’d want to see from each one. Go back and forth until the list feels right. Then give it your brand guidelines and ask it to build a dashboard that displays everything. Ask for it to be password protected.

Yes that sounds like a great idea and not a car crash waiting to happen

She also describes building a customer facing onboarding site

Build a custom client-facing dashboard instead. Tell Claude Code what your onboarding process looks like step by step. Describe what information you need to collect and what your clients need to access. Ask it to build a secure portal they can log into, with automations that send them what they need and follow up to collect what you need. This is a branded, professional experience that scales without you. The emotional design matters here too: you want clients to feel held, not herded. Tell Claude that.

Yes vibe coded customer facing tools are a fantastic idea and definitely not a vector for cyber attacks nuh-uh. I’m sure it will be fine if you ask for it to be “secure” right?

FML are we in the twilight zone here?
