We may live in the same country or planet but that does not mean we inherently have any share of the land.

If there really is no PR reviewer and no separate QA what is Anthropic even doing. I have respect for someone owning their mistake but as others have mentioned it reveals what may be a systemic issue.

I'm frankly baffled by the number of commenters saying they've seen little productivity gains using LLMs/agents. My team got cut in half at the end of last year and we've probably increased our output by 25% primarily due to LLMs. Personally it's probably doubled my productivity. And we generally use a pretty structured spec based approach with consistent human code review, and six months into adoption we've had virtually no bugs attributable to an AI mistake (in fact production issues have gone down, knock on wood). My point being we aren't vibe coding.

I speculate the gains must be heavily context dependent (no pun intended). Different teams, tech stacks, product types, and company policies perhaps have an outsized effect on what gains LLMs give. We are allowed to be pretty independent and don't have much of a restriction on token usage.

I'd be interested in the demo!!

Yeah this is how I feel about it. Does it look correct? is it doing something weird? Is it forgetting about some gotcha in our domain that it hasn't been taught about yet? Otherwise, ship it.

Who determines what is "ethical"?

Studies on political bias in models consistently show that LLMs lean politically left. The only outlier is grok which leans right but by a smaller factor, according to this study for instance: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.23841

Edit: adding some other studies that are easily retrievable with a quick search for those unsatisfied with the first one - https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.12922 https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.16746

Claiming reality has a left wing bias is certainly an opinion you're welcome to have to explain this, but the reality of the bias in models is well evidenced. It seems that practically Grok's right wing tweaks mostly just combat the already pre baked bias existing models have (generally).

thankfully most of the mid-2010's I've driven haven't been bad

I think part of this acceptance of the "well if it saves one [usually child's] life..." - it's extremely powerful but is deceptive as it devalues the value of freedom (or some similar trait).

Are you talking about an old Honda or some issue with new Hondas?

Completely anecdotal (which i think both of us are guilty of) but i generally keep my PC game pass subscription active, and will check if games are on there before getting them elsewhere. I don’t really know how to measure how many people are doing that though.

Love this! Charming and easy to follow, thank you!

They are starting to ship this out across the country. My uncle has pancreatic cancer and is hoping to get a shipment in the next two months. Apparently you discontinue chemo while on it because it’s so unnecessary at that point.

I agree. This situation was created in the first place because both parties and their constituents have been OK giving the executive branch more and more power as long as it benefits “their team”.

Yeah tbf as someone who works in the industry, that sounds more like a ticket brokerage than what Ticketmaster / StubHub etc do (directly). I’ve learned from personal experience that ticket brokers will do some WILD stuff.
