They're always pressuring me into "shipping" "features"

This is like when Bob Dylan went electric

Can you make your own CPU, locally?

> they want the retail and institutional investor to be protected

That costs money, indirectly

But it does allow these investors to participate in the markets without losing their shirts - and the lack of such liquidity would impact the market more so than the cost of the risk mitigation - which as you completely correctly noted is not free - both in first and second order terms.

Who's the whiny baby? The developer writing some code in their own repo, or the guy complaining about it on Hacker News?

Yeah I also noticed this irony. In addition to accusing the rewrite to being political and not technical, while their whole comment is being political not technical.

I meant my comment not the rewrite

Ah, fair enough then, you mean want to clarify that a bit as it can be interpreted both ways. And the whiny baby part seems a bit uncalled for and distracting from the point you’re trying to make.

Don't give them too much credit, they responded to other comments clearly referring to the developers' comments on twitter about his technical motivations. He's just backtracking now due to your comment.

I meant the developers motivation with "whiny baby" and I take the point that this was over the top and I could’ve found better words.

But I meant that my comment is "politics-based and not technical", because the gut feeling is more based on my reading of soft factors than it is from in-depth technical analysis of everything involved.

How can you be so blind? This is all a marketing campaign by anthropic. No more no less. The developers doing the rewrite have no voice at all in this game.

People never want to admit when they're used, especially when they're only used to make someone slightly more rich.

> You're posting valid criticism, therefore you're a crying baby

Yawn.

To me it reads much more as political polemic/signaling than any sort of valid critique

You could have a web of trust where Linux-using organizations each spend $x continuously scanning and patching their own dependencies with AI, and sending each other patches and scans.

LLMs aren't capable of doing this, and never will be no matter what Anthropic tries tell you.

Mozilla seems to think it can.

Ahh yes, I'm sure agents did this all autonomously without any human in the loop what so ever. They are useless without experts to handle them.

So then have the Linux-using organizations employ experts to handle them then.

That's the same mindset some people had 3 years ago when they said AI wouldn't be capable of software development. Look where we are now.

I have unlimited access to every single frontier model, I've tested all of them, they are not good at writing software.

They are basically slot machines, sometimes you win a little bit and sometimes you win a lot but usually you just burn a ton of time and money sitting and staring at a screen (and frying your brain).

Once they send the cooling water up into orbit, it's gone for good

Every now and then, I feel like we live in the worst possible world. Then I realise it could be much worse.

This does not comfort me.

Incredible amount of pearl clutching in this thread from people terrified that someone might receive a bad sidewalk seating diagram or an "EMERGENCY" order for paper cups

We're on a website that generally considers human-originated spam to be a borderline capital offence, so it'd be unfair if HN didn't want the AI turned off for doing the same thing...
