I would be surprised if there were any top company where it's above 5%.

The slop Claude generates isn't going anywhere near production without being edited by hand.

Perhaps it depends on what you mean by "edited by hand"? It's definitely still common for human beings to review generated code and tell Claude "no you need to do it this way". But most developers at Google, Meta, etc. no longer open up an IDE and type in code themselves.

They're marketing AI to investors, not to end-user plebs.

This is a pump-and-dump scheme.

Exxon has never bragged to investors that they'd burn so much oil, civilization would collapse from climate change. They've always talked about how great fossil fuels are for the economy and our living standards. It makes no sense to sell apocalypse to investors either.

You misunderstand.

The only reason to launch subagents is to avoid poisoning the LLM's already small context window with unrelated tokens.

It doesn't make the LLM smarter or more capable.

Yeah, this model sucks.

Kumbaya?

Good idea, let's all live in peace and harmony. (But first we need to sanction and regime change all the bad countries.)

Vibe coding is unleashing man-made horrors beyond human comprehension on the world.

> Doesn't history show us you just get both?

No. "Opaque ads" are usually heavily regulated out of existence by government legislation.

Product placement in TV shows / movies is a $30 billion industry.

They're opaque, and not regulated out of existence.

They're so opaque that I'd wager 50%+ of people aren't aware it's happening.

(Not fact checked) My favorite is Apple's "no villain" rule, where protagonists are allowed to use iPhone in movies, while antagonists are not.

Good. People here it's blind with the CADT model. They aren't even aware than with Elfeed for instance you can automatically set a hook on a feed that it calls lingva.el functions to translate, for instance, feeds written in Spanish or German to your native language in the spot.

Try doing that with Elfeed2.

Vi/Nvi2 users can almost do the same with Unix pipes and apertium/translate-shell/some lingva CLI translating tools for the whole document/regex selection/lines, a la Emacs. So can sfeed users, where depending on the feed they can pipe the plumbers' output (or just hack the scripts) to any other translating tool:

git://codemadness.org/sfeed

Heck, a few years ago I could reuse Telega.el's (Telegram client) translating functions for non-Telega buffers translating some text guide in the spot. So, did the blogger actually win something?

Especially ridiculous because old-school bash CLI scripts is the only usable protocol for interacting with LLM agents.

Replacing/automating manual ripgrep is a top-1 use case for AI though.

Their point was a competent team would have done this since 10 or 20 years I thought.
