how tf am i supposed to get any work done now?
Waiting for the Anthropic PR saying that the outage was due to their new Claude Mythos model trying to escape confinement and being so powerful that it brought the whole Anthropic down.
Mythos is just too intelligent and immediately realizes the best thing it can do is kill itself.
Honest question, does the world productivity goes up or down?
I would say it goes down. After all the slop users are not going to suddenly discover critical thinking.
Hey now let’s give them some credit, they may also drink poison and die without their thinking machine.
Net negative, I’d say, especially in the long run.
By training LLMs, you’re neglecting to train the entry level workers who grow to be seniors. If we keep going down this rabbit hole, there will be no one who knows ‘the old ways’ and understand why we do things a certain way.
Additionally, the energy consumption and land occupation is massive and far outweighs the benefits, making things more scarce, especially since more people will lose their jobs.
For the tiny % of people who actually put it to good use, there’s 100x more abusing or mishandling it.

It’s going to take a while, but hopefully that percentage improves over time. PCs in the 1990s were “Solitaire Stations” for an awful lot of people who didn’t know how to make them do anything else.
It depends on if quality is a product of productivity.
If you want to simulate running Claude while it’s offline, just go run the faucet in your kitchen.
Good good. Please more of this!! Shut it all down.

Some AI company recently developed some new software so powerful they had to warn and prepare all other major tech companies with special training so their software wouldn’t be vulnerable to attacks from the new program. Maybe Anthropic didn’t attend this training??
Fuck “AI”
It’s because it’s too good.
As long as stackoverflow doesn’t go down too. I’ll have to start banging my head against the keyboard if they both go down…
Do people even post questions there anymore? And do they get answers from real people?
No idea, I haven’t in a long time. But there’s a huge amount of stackoverflow answers the current generation if AI was trained on.
I read somewhere that SO was using AI to answer questions now. Not enough real people answering or something.
Could be, I haven’t asked or answered a question there in a long time. Most of my questions got down voted anyway, so it was hard to get answers to stuff.
They were always notorious for expecting every question to be applicable to everyone else, so if it was even sort of specific, the question got dowvoted.
Yeah, the gatekeeping there was pretty harsh.
Oh shit. I think I did it.
Wasn’t there a post recently complaining about an AI coding agent wanting to stop working consistently? Maybe that’s related.
Guess it’s too powerful to be up.
Like it’s always been done…
