Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

That feels like a fitting ironic fate, a company selling AI slopcode generation looses a bunch of users from believing their own bullshit and using an LLM as customer support. Hopefully that story repeated a few dozen times across other businesses and the business majors stop pushing LLM usage.
Edit... looking at the orange site comments... some unironically cited Anthropic ~~research~~ marketing hype, which (correctly) shows "Chain-of-Thought" is often bullshit unrelated to the final answer (but it's Anthropic, so the label it as deception and unfaithfulness instead of the entire approach being bullshit in general).
