  1. Bun is right there on Github. You can download can use it right now. 2. Sure, that's one thing. 3. Coefficient Bio is not a thing. They don't have a product. Ever. It's just Anthropic hired 10 people for a ridiculous amount of premium bonus. (Time will prove it's a bad decision, btw) 4. (snorts)

    I believe the Bun reference is the Rust "rewrite" that came up recently.

1. Figma (in progress) 2. Most entry level jobs for current graduates in white collar fields. (See hiring rates for these positions) 3. Thousands of layoffs (mostly attributed to AI use, while not 100%, the Anthropic's specific marketing push has a huge influence on this - unlike OAI and other labs) 4. All low-code products/startups 5. Web agencies who did small websites for local businesses While AI industry push is there for all of the above, Anthropic's specific marketing/PR is specifically directed towards forced adoption of AI and burning tokens, unlike from other labs.

  These seems to be healthy desctructions, if the market rejects them eventually for a better product

    But it’s not a better product, it’s just cheaper.
    - rTX5CMRXIfFG 5mo ago
      That’s one person’s opinion, yours, and not the market’s.
      - jazzyjackson 5mo ago
        Fair, of course price is a factor in whether one product is better than another, and yes it’s my opinion that things becoming more affordable/junkier, is not always a net increase in quality of life.

  > 1. Figma (in progress) Hmmm… maybe. I think not. It really depends on your other claims below, with which I mostly disagree. 2. Most entry level jobs for current graduates in white collar fields. (See hiring rates for these positions) Maybe a small amount. Entry level white collar jobs have a low hiring rate for other reasons, imho. 3. Thousands of layoffs (mostly attributed to AI use, while not 100%, the Anthropic's specific marketing push has a huge influence on this - unlike OAI and other labs) What they say and what the actual reasons are not the same, imho. Correcting for over hiring is the actual main reason. 4. All low-code products/startups Low-code and no-code products in the hands of someone who doesn’t have a developer’s mind and/or experience usually ends up as a mess, and quickly becomes an unusable mess. I know of exactly two people who have done successfully used AI to make a low-code/no-code product. One is just highly motivated and wicked smart. The other did a minor in CS a long time ago (works in a different field). Everyone else shows me a pile of garbage and asks me how to fix it (answer: throw it away and start from scratch). 5. Web agencies who did small websites for local businesses As with 4 above, the only site a local business can make for themselves is one that functions as a business card… at best. Usually it looks more like a business card that a kindergartner made. They simply don’t understand what makes a website good for their business, therefore they cannot direct AI to make it for them. There’s a lot to criticize about AI, imho, but these aren’t on the list.

I was to talking to a YC founder, his biggest fear is waking up to a new Claude launch making his startup obsolete the next morning. Similar sentiment shared with other startup founders- check on x about all VCs talking about moats against big labs.

they've destroyed trust completely by constantly screwing paying customers

LLM's in general have destroyed at least 10 orders of magnitude more than 3 things.
