If only Anthropic had some kind of automated tool that was good at porting software
- Lionga 5mo agoUse the existing Slop they have that needs 1GB of Ram for a simple Terminal app to create an even more slopped Linux app... If only they had any devs at their 500K and way up pay package that could actually write a simple app, that you know does not suck.
- lioeters 5mo agoThose highly paid human devs are hard at work on the Torment Nexus, which is their priority of course, you don't want China to win do you?
- robby_w_g 5mo agoTorment doomers claim that the commodification of humanity’s suffering will usher in a dark age, but quarterly earnings have never been higher. I trust that Death Star Inc has humanity’s best interests at heart.
- mococa 5mo agoYou’re asking too much.
- ameliaquining 5mo agoIt doesn't sound like that's the bottleneck.
- cookiengineer 5mo agoYou forgot the *allegedly in there.
- smrtinsert 5mo agoSorry that's not the use case anymore its about (checks notes) "forward deployed engineers", yep that's it. Go build!
- supriyo-biswas 5mo agoTBH I don't get the narrative there either. Earlier it was about how regular people can now build many types of software for themselves (and btw, I agree with this), but somehow the narrative has shifted to something like "regular software engineers would work with the customer to develop applications", which makes a lot less sense.
- shepherdjerred 5mo agoEven if you can create infinite software you still have to be very intentional about what you’re choosing to work on. There’s still a cost to testing, support, planning, etc even if coding is now “free”
- trumpdong 5mo agoIf only Anthropic had some kind of automated testing, support, planning machine.
- shepherdjerred 5mo agoYou wouldn't run an engineering company with 500 engineers reporting directly to the CEO. AI doesn't solve this. You need humans who can understand and verify what is being made.
- id00 5mo agoNot, according to their AI influencers
- trumpdong 5mo agoTheir whole value proposition is based on the fact that you no longer do.
- gessha 5mo ago> You wouldn't run an engineering company with 500 engineers reporting directly to the CEO. Jack Dorsey wants to prove you wrong!
- shepherdjerred 5mo agoAnd there's nothing wrong with that! I doubt they'll succeed with the current generation of tools, though.
- mmcnl 5mo agoAnthropic claims 8-fold productivity increase since 2025. If even that isn't enough to enable support for Linux, I don't know what it is.
- scrollop 5mo agoImagine if cutting edge AI companies could decide to using their world best AI to 1) Develop software for linux 2) Provide decent support
- zombot 5mo agoIf there were any truth to the marketing stories that say they have such a thing, then they could indeed.
- kskdkwjdkwkkds 5mo agoIt’s almost as if this whole productivity increase promised by AI is just marketing spiel, huh? Crazy.
- gessha 5mo agoStill not enough to establish the year of Linux on the desktop.
- dannersy 5mo agoIt's getting exponentially better, and everything is getting cheaper, and it's the end of SaaS! But I am still waiting. If everything was as the hype folks said it was, we would all be fucked already.
