FFS the amount of circle~~jerking~~dealing going on in this industry is absolutely insane.

"Hello anthropic. Have some money to spend on our chips"

You're absolutely right! It's not just insulting, it's a full on attack on clanker wankers.

He sounds like a fun guy to talk to at parties! /s

I've not seen this shared here yet so I thought I'd share: Is AI Profitable Yet? https://isaiprofitable.com/

Giving Claude or copilot attribution plays into the narrative that LLMs are more than just random word generators and that they can be ascribed authorship... I think it's a deliberate strategy so that when there's inevitably a massive copyright case MisAnthropic etc al can say "but looks at all the code co-written by Claude on GitHub" to try and convince the judge.

Just imagine building a house and saying "well I didn't do it on my own, my concrete mixer, toolbelt and coffee machine all helped!"

Claude Mythos... I'm already sick of hearing about it. The self-imposed critihype is insane.

A friend just pointed out that Anthropic are making all this big noise about having an AI that is "too good" at finding bugs and security problems 1 week after the source code for one of their flagship products was leaked to the public and was found to be riddled with security holes... Why would they not use it themselves?

Same as the ~~vague markdown files~~ skills that are supposedly going to make all SaaS redundant and finally kill off all the COBOL running on mainframes that checks notes IBM have spent hundreds of thousands of man hours trying to kill over the last 3-4 decades

Honestly fuck this shit. Bunch of absolute clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡

GitHub have finally achieved zero 9s stability for the last 90 days. Congratulations to all involved

They're not vibe-coding mission-critical AWS modules.

1. Yes they are

and

2. It's worse than that, they're vibe coding critical operating system components

Think of all those poor billionaires who won't be able to afford that 29th yacht if we made them pay their fair share instead of externalising their costs onto an already stretched general.public!

Turns out Google Gemini will let you use any old Google API key from things like maps and firebase to access it. So, baddies can do key scanning in public repos and then charge LLM usage to anyone who has committed an API key to their repo!

So many layers of stupidity going on here!

IBM stocks take a tumble after anthropic release a COBOL skill - the rational market strikes again.

I wrote up my take here but TL;DR - a few markdown files telling Claude it's an expert at COBOL development aren't going to unpick decades of risk averse behaviour from bank and government cios. Similar to the SaaSpocalypse this is pure nonsense. Investors don't tend to let reality dissuade them though.

AI bros are seizing the means of computation: RAM, GPUs, SSDs and now HDDs...

I don't think there's an actual conspiracy, just lots of MBAs following their noses towards the $$$.

That said, time to buy a new lipo battery for that 10 year old laptop in the loft and stick Linux on it - before the lithium miners announce they've sold the next 12 months global supply of Lithium to Altman because he needs it to sleep at night...
