Are they running out of funds to drown out the protesters with their own marketing?

The idea has been tried before and it failed because people don’t actually want this product at the scale the inventors thought. Amazon has never stopped doing this. Adding an element of indeterminism to the mix doesn’t make this a better p

I mean, this really isn't a large codebase, this is a small-medium sized codebase as judged by prior jobs/projects. 9000 lines of code? When I give them the same task I tried to give them the day before, and the output gets notice

Grok hasn't gotten better. OpenAI hasn't gotten better. Claude Code with Opus and Sonnet I swear are getting actively worse. Maybe you only use them for toy projects, but attempting to get them to do real work in my real codebase

Just ancedata, but they keep releasing new versions and it keeps not being better. What would you describe this as if not plateauing? Worsening?

Why do people so desperately want to see AI succeed? The financial investment explains it for some.

There aren’t enough GPUs for average gamers to buy anything vaguely recent and they would love to be able to. Making the best GPUs on the planet is still huge and the market is quite large. Scalping might finally die at this rate, but NVDA

They get paid the more vibe coding occurs on their platform, so of course they have a two-pizza team dedicated to milking the latest trend.

Congratulations for believing the marketing. He has about 2.46 trillion reasons to make this claim. In other news, water is wet and the sky is blue.

> LLMs are eliminating the need to have a vast array of positions on payrolls. From copywriters to customer support, and even creative activities such as illustration and even authoring books, today's LLMs are already more than good

I've used a wide variety of the "best" models, and I've mostly settled on Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 with Claude Code, but they don't ever actually get better. Grok 3-4 and GPT4 were worse, but like, at a certain point you

Github Pages STILL don't have any sort of built-in analytics available. I shouldn't need GA or something else to track the basic website metrics when you absolutely know that MS and GH have been tracking these things the whole tim

Opus 4.1 does it too: How many b's in the word blueberry? There are 3 b's in the word "blueberry". The word is spelled: b-l-u-e-b-e-r-r-y The b's appear in positions 1, 5, and 6.

My project is basically the same size as when I started using it.

by taormina 1y ago
Just more ancedata, but I entirely agree. I can't say that I am happy with Sonnet's output at any point, really, but it still occasionally works, whereas Opus has been a dumpster fire every single time.

by taormina 1y ago
Alright, well, Opus 4.1 seems exactly as useless as Opus 4 was, but it's probably eating my tokens faster. Wish they let you tell somehow. At least Sonnet 4 is still usable, but I'll be honest, it's been producing worse and w

Gas costs money. The car costs money. You can only do the same hike that's an hour away so many times, before you're traveling to go to new places, and hotels cost money at that point. Pickleball courts cost money. The pickleball

I have been hitting the 5 hour mark just using Claude Code at all on a very reasonably sized Flutter codebase. I’m relatively concerned but it’s very non-critical but I’m more likely to quit using the tool outright instead of paying them mo

by taormina 1y ago
I feel like I am constantly hitting the 5 hour limits not doing very much. I feel like I will quit using Claude Code outright if my usage is gone by Tuesday.

It’s the personal experience of watching Claude Code fly off the rails. Could I spend even more on Claude and attempt to get it to half ass the review? I suppose. But it still my ass on the line when it all goes sideways.

If you trust Claude for this, you deserve to accidentally nuke every picture you’ve ever owned.
