If I heard my employer was using Claude to manage payroll, I’d be looking for a new job - quickly .

Yes, I'd agree with that. I think there's a significant value in the "plan" mode that copilot, claude, etc. expose. I also think there's significant value in using these tools to connect data silos and combine infor

That's a very silly claim to make, because you can make that same claim about writing a bash script.

5-50x huh? Years of AI hype and yet still to this day, not a single person or organization can provide any kind of reputable evidence that it has significantly increased their productivity.

A data-harvesting software product delivered as hardware. Why would anyone actually want to purchase this?

I dismissed “AI Psychosis” as a silly term, even as a strong critic of LLMs for programming tools. > For 7 months I'd been prompting and shipping without ever sitting down and actually reading the code Claude wrote. But every time I

“Use all of the tools at your disposal, including searching the internet” is my claude-specific common instruction.

If you’re using LLMs for agentic work it is absolutely essential that you have a robust set of tools for them to use and the correct instructions to prompt their use. The LLM will come up with stupid ways to do things, common sense doesn’t

The same way using an auto increment integer ID does, but imagine that integer also leaked your created timestamp column too.

Wow! A significant amount of that information is wrong. I guess my corporate security is doing their job pretty well.

It also helps that Framework actually releases their products when they say they will.

In the same way AI frees up SREs and developers to focus on all the downtime and bugfixes they’ve caused by using AI now? Humans don’t get to drop down to 2 9’s though… we just die.

This is actually one of the things that made LLMs more usable for me. The default tone and style of writing they tend to use is nauseatingly annoying and buries information in prose that sounds like a corporate presentation.

Symfony kind of fits the “well-chosen libraries” approach as each of its components can be pulled in individually with no bearing on the architecture of your application.

That’s not really an argument, it is central to my point. The current system does exhibit those issues and it is by human creativity and outliers that we have some points of escape from it. Codifying and distilling it removes the points of

I think most people are missing the forest for the trees. TUIs are popular because once you use a piece of software that doesn't have a poorly-written GUI library full of animations bogging it down, you don't want to go back. It&#

Haven’t there been repeated experiments that show if you jailbreak most frontier models’ harnesses you can get them to output near verbatim copyrighted works? I swear there was a whole court case about this in the last year.

I really like Warp, because it looks and behaves the way I want a terminal emulator to. I disable all the AI features though because I don’t find them useful. If this community fork were to, for example remove all of the AI features, it wou

Yes, that was 60 years ago. No one involved at that time is still there - and in fact, most of them have passed. I don't know why you think there's a shred of relevance there.

Hijacking secured connections to inject a payload that doesn’t actually come from the source is not a legitimate form of notification - it’s a malicious infrastructure attack.

Do we have to figure that? Do we really have to give the benefit of the doubt to the agency that was literally running one of the largest CSAM distribution outlets in the world for years as a honeypot?

The author makes some pretty insane leaps in logic for classification, and it’s apparent in the photos. “Drug-Den vibes” apparently means the owner is poor or a photo is obscured or badly lit.

The one thing I will throw out here that I can add to this conversation is that I think the government simply does not care, either. It's mainly only in regard to mass public outrage, or when someone is a political target that it gets
