Everyone else needs to start treating them that way, or you're going to regret it once you realize what's actually happening.
A lot of you don't want to hear it but this is a user issue.
If you want my attention tonight, surely then "put more effort in" applies here too?
I was a low bar target: I already think AI coding is a mistake. But I want to read about it. Not listen to it with megabits of associated video I don't want to watch either.
Tag as "rage bait" and move on I did not like, I did not subscribe.

Their apparent inability to get the basics right makes me severely doubt their claims of self-improving AI. The humans at Anthropic wouldn't know improvement if it landed on their lap and started twerking, and AI cannot do a job without strong human intervention into what the goals and guardrails actually are.
I'm kind of reminded of when Microsoft claimed it took a team of Ph.D.s to write a terminal application that updated at 60fps, and then Casey Muratori did it over a weekend. And this was before AI was writing code in earnest; when LLM-induced brainrot really sets in, civilization is in for a world of fresh hurt: lots more generated code, almost all of it garbage. And the promised AI crossover point where it becomes AGI, or indistinguishable from for software design purposes, recedes into the infinite future.

A true era of ignorance, looking like an ocean of nonsense in which no one can really navigate as it is ungrounded in reality.
Idiocracy presents a naively gentle positive version of such future but there are many darker ones possible.
Kali Yuga, indeed.

By all this I mean that, when you look around, what measures or trends in place do you see that will offset a future of broken software and systems? It's crickets for me.
This is what frightens me far more than the illiterate and the ignorant. In the current rush to sloptimise, from automated startups to slowmoving fortune 500s slashing headcounts for short-term gains, there seem to be no counterforces to dampen this tulip-feveresque mania to scale garbage?

This is the same Microsoft that is now rewriting the TypeScript type checker, parser and its developer tools in Go after realizing that the bottleneck was...the performance of TypeScript itself, which is a basic compiled vs interpreted difference.

Some folks using LLMs wouldn't realize why it makes zero sense to use TS / JS for building performant and optimal applications. This is why people were experiencing significant rendering bugs in terminal apps (they are not designed for that) and slow starts with Claude Code, which was completely vibe coded with Ink.
If you don't understand the basic fundamentals of what you are working on with LLMs and bugs are creeping up left and right, then you are just sinking in your own comprehension debt.

He could have done it in 13 seconds instead of 13 minutes: "Anthropic is lying about the effectiveness of agentic loops because there's this one screen flicker bug in Claude Code that took a year to fix."
Yeah, like when United Airlines claims a plane can fly 300 people 6,000 miles they are lying to you.
I can prove they're lying to you because people have been complaining about uncomfortable seats and flight delays for literally decades and those issues still aren't fixed.
