Interestingly, Anthropic does not appear to be on this page as of today. Mysteriously disappeared in the past 3 days?

How come nobody lost their shit when neural nets demonstrated the ability to recognize images 15 years ago? Is that not reasoning? What’s so special about natural language?

Seeing a lot of dev-on-dev harassment has got me thinking about what open software development feels like nowadays.

Adaptation of the old “quit having fun” meme originally about video games

A group of people happily gather around a tv screen edited to show code with the Claude logo while another person scolds them

Panel 1: “you’re cultists who forgot how to code”

Panel 2: “you’re using the lying machine”

Panel 3: “QUIT HAVING FUN”

There’s a certain recurring AI take on this website that I find quite tiresome. It goes like this: “much cause for concern with current AI trends, but none of the skeptics I see have their facts straight! I’m forced to argue against them instead of expressing my own, well-founded skepticism!” 🧵

Not a big fan of “anti-intellectualism and conspiracy theories, but leftistly”

This is clearly an attempt to recreate the original “git flow” diagram so I’m wondering if someone with terminal AI brain (a) had the original diagram and asked the robot to clean it up, or (b) asked the robot for a git flow diagram and this came out of the training data nvie.com/posts/a-succ...

A successful Git branching model
In this post I present a Git branching strategy for developing and releasing software as I’ve used it in many of my projects, and which has turned out to be very successful.

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

I think Anthropic is a serious company and this is a cheap shot, but it’s a cheap shot that’s good for my soul. You couldn’t torture that Thariq post out of me
