But this is marketing. This is just pre-IPO talk. Anthropic’s goal is not anything to do with AI, it is purely to generate more profit than any other company. Securing/lobbying to regulate their competitors through doom talk, or promis

I am absolutely appalled that this type of marketing is allowed. It is so disingenuous.

Am I the only one starting to get annoyed by Bun just due to all the surrounding drama? I was genuinely surprised this was an actual link about an update - my gut inclination opening that was Jarred probably decided to rewrite Bun to Java

I have no context of who you are/your position here, but the responses you're getting seem absurd to me. I just don't understand people placing the blame on you when it should be on your company. Most people in the world are

You're misinterpreting what I said. Being dense, honestly. The start of this thread was primarily people saying they were taking their money elsewhere - and then suggesting Proton, whose CEO was in the hot seat for praising the Republi

This is a bizarre thread. People are surprised that a privacy-oriented businessman is right-wing is very strange. "Millions" in the title is also misleading in this context - it's millions in Swedish Kronor, which is roughly

Why wouldn't Claude just impose this same loop in the code it writes - or better, write better code before it needs such review?

This was epic, and reminded me of the magic of programming when I first found a video game maker at a wee 11 years old. Writing code to make music feels so natural to me (a musically inept, but proficient coder) and this breaks down so many
