I ve stopped believing any of this PR from AI companies that are trying to justify their huge valuations with some nebulous societal impacts that we have yet to see any trace of. Stop talking about the damn thing and show me the thing

the entire premise of this economic index is that they're showing you actual usage and insights from millions of anonymized claude conversations.

  As PR

    Is there a way to do it as not PR?
    - ActionHank 2y ago
      Yes, publish a paper or the stats. Putting it on your company blog is marketing, always. The only exception is PornHub insights, because they don't need to advertise and the people reading are there for the insights.

It's pretty great that the AI bros have gotten quieter now. It was frankly exhausting. Instead of getting robots that do the laundry and clean the kitchen we got robots that do token work in a showroom at a BMW factory. All the knowledge surfaced through LLMs was already mostly available online, they just make it more cohesive. It is better search. Devs have figured out that creating a login page over and over is not a job, and that is now somewhat automatable. Also everyone hates the name Devin now.
