Nah, just pass the outputs to a person not related to Anthropic in any way. Or -- maybe better -- just fsck the TOS.

Even if you think you cannot escape incentives - there exists a thing for shaping them - it is called "regulation". Some still consider it a dirty word though.

No need to hide "penis" behind asterisks. It is proper -- even medical -- terminology, in contast to "c*ck", "d*ng" or "schl*ng".

I am curious how the workflow of people, who do not write code at all, looks like, or what products do they build. In my experience LLMs are an excavator, but you still have to tweak the fine details with a shovel.

Given that according to some we can code at 10x speed for at least half a year, I wonder where there are some autocoded softwares with 5 years' worth of equivalent human engineering work.

I'll root for DeepSeek v4 Flash as well. It surprised me just how "good enough" it is for most of my needs, and also dirt cheap. Everyone should try it at least once.

Given that we can code at 10x speed for at least half a year, one would expect to see at least some pieces of machine-created software with 5 years' worth of equivalent human engineering work. Anyone know some?

YC indisputably has a financial incentive for AI sentiment to be positive on HN. The structural conflict of interest is worth being aware of.

To me it was just a few weeks ago discovering just how good and dirt cheap the recent flash models are, in particular Deepseek V4. Previously used Claude's variants almost exclusively. I use them mostly in the "artist's assis

This contradicts my anecdata. Recently, I tasked Opus 4.6 to study a new Czech building permit law in conjunction with some waste disposal regulations and the result was disappointing. The model could not stop drawing conclusions from obsol

Not sure about flawed code logic, but it is embarassingly easy to plant false information into models. Make a few static sites with random info, crosslink them, reference them on reddit a few times, then plant the payload there. I know it b

I am really baffled by the comments in the spirit of "this is unenforceable, and therefore worthless". I bet most people would not steal even if they knew they could get away with it.
