longposts are bad

claude having exactly one name is one of the main design features which they are absolutely right to refuse to change

--dangerously skip international law

if have any luck this lady stomps platner

"you can cut over a codebase into a faster and more testable rust codebase in about an hour" is a fact that currently appears to be true

christ. how long did this even take? 2 or 3 days from posts?

i think he's legitimately so many tiers worse that something went badly wrong with him, he lost a valuable editor who is never credited, etc

this is a completely separate concern from "having coherent goals which you want to pursue, and which might be pursued by bombing". bombing as theater is a clear winner

fundamentally just bombing unpleasant people has lower risk, and any blowback will be indirect. it's probably always going to be a political winner. anyone who only cares about re election would be stupid not to find a guy to bomb

honestly pretty well financially

his old stuff is legitimately good much of the time. there has been a notable decline

ahhh, got it

i think this happened after electricity had been around for a few decades

i legitimately do not follow

his ouster happened specifically during a funding round and the board had no viable succession plan, plausibly many/most of the employees in revolt simply did not care about any of this, they cared about the board fucking up a funding round

in fact: we need a special effort to weed out financial crimes and corruption. it is simply the case that a16z is one of the most obvious places to start looking

OpenAI is now Grok with less porn

claude.ai was always kind of an arcane tool, came off as a chatgpt knock-off

but they followed Claude Code to its natural conclusion and now between Cowork & CC, “Claude” is now the stand-in name for “agents” as they exist in early 2026

the DoW fiasco just made Claude a household name, that’s all

yes

i haven't thought about him in literally years

Woke 2: AI boogaloo

sam altman is the michael phelps of being full of shit

i think this is true for this use case, i think things like eg the suicide cases are clearly repugnant because the llm is doing things only a human previously could have done but it cannot be punished as one

my opinion currently lives here. i have no idea how it could get worse but i suspect he will find a way bsky.app/profile/segy...

this happened at:
ycombinator
reddit
openai (at least twice, elon + the board)

so yeah of course he's lying man he's a world class liar it's his primary job skill

sam altman's entire work history is extreme success because he's a great and inspirational salesman and then getting fired or denounced for being a lying weasel who will say anything

starting to feel like sam altman isn't being consistently candid in his communications with us

is cosmic ... good now

a lot of people who are winning "good principles" points at the moment are winning them specifically because they are not winning "seeing where the ball is going" points

there are cleverer and dumber versions of this but i cannot figure out what the actual reason behind the objection is other than "we are offended by the very idea that claude or successor to claude might be a person"
