I’ve seen you/anthropic comment repeatedly over the last several months about the “thinking” in similar ways -
“most users dont look at it” (how do you know this?)
“our product team felt it was too visually noisy”
etc etc. But every time something like this is stated, your power users (people here for the most part) state that this is dead wrong. I know you are repeating the corporate line here, but it’s bs.
- wonnage 7mo agoAnecdotally the “power users” of AI are the ones who have succumbed to AI psychosis and write blog posts about orchestrating 30 agents to review PRs when one would’ve done just fine. The actual power users have an API contract and don’t give a shit about whatever subscription shenanigans Claude Max is pulling today

- JohnMakin 7mo agoWhatever makes you feel better about yourself, I guess. My account history on this topic is pretty easily searchable, but I guess it's easier to make driveby comments like this than be informed.
- wonnage 7mo agoLol the only thing that looking at your comment history brought is that you repeatedly bring up your long comment history.

- exfalso 7mo agoIt's to prevent distillation. Duh
- JohnMakin 7mo agoof course that’s the reason but don’t pretend it’s some user guided decision
- svnt 7mo agoThey don’t want to officially disclose the reality because while some users will understand the realities of protecting a product while innovating, many will just realize it means one can go looking for claude 4.5 performance elsewhere.
- jitl 7mo agobuilding for the loud users on a forum is generally a losing move. if we built notion for angry HN users, we'd probably be a great obsidian competitor with end to end encryption, have zero ai features, and make zero money.
- alasano 7mo agoLast time he made the front page he said the same things. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46978710 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46978710 Then proceeded to fix nothing whatsoever. It really does feel like he's just doing mostly what he wants and talking on behalf of vague made up users while real users complain on GitHub issues.
