Fastmail is excellent. They haven’t banned AI, but IMO that would be equally as extreme as what proton is doing just in the other direction

It’s kind of like appreciating the honesty of a CEO telling existing employees they need to start working weekends or find somewhere else to work.

You’re probably better off switching to one of the many good alternatives.

Yes.

Would you rather trust sensitive legal documents with me running a self hosted app that shares data with whichever provider openrouter chooses, or Harvey?

Isn’t this just re-inventing the index arena pattern, which nullifies much of the benefit over rust?

Hard disagree. Claude and other frontier models are clearly a huge accomplishment, are already changing the world, and continue to get better.

Despite the real innovation, the way Anthropic communicates their work often comes across as disingenuous.

"Our models wrote a new VCS" is very different from "Our models adapted existing VCS to our bespoke needs". Both are impressive, so why over inflate the claim?

Same thing happened with the Bun Rust rewrite.

> my default assumption now is that Anthropic’s public engineering presentations are largely bad-faith ripoffs. That’s a shame.

Couldn't agree more.

I got nervous when the company claiming to be working on the most impactful technology in human history takes time away to instead brag about writing a slightly more efficient version control system.

The fact that they didn't actually build the side project themselves, and ripped it off from someone else also calls into question their good faith mission to shepherd humanity into a new era...

A price filter would be useful.

Most of the listings near me are for tens of acres and >$5 million

When Fable first released, I had it "one shot" a project using an initial spec and a team of agents. I was blown away with how good the results were.

And then I noticed some links to images from random small github projects and realized somewhere along the way agents had searched for existing projects and copied almost everything.

I wonder if something similar happened here on a larger scale.

> even the best of software engineers are unable to keep up with these models.

It’s more likely they used an earlier version of Claude to write v1, then a later version of Claude rewrote it.

Unless Anthropic engineers were writing code by hand prior to Mythos

Anthropic acquired bun

That’s an entirely different situation.

It would be more like a low level manager telling new employees what he would do if he ever catches them stealing office supplies.

The university has a policy on how to handle cheating. The professor doesn’t need to imagine potential scenarios in the syllabus

> that's the basics of how you handle stuff like this

Anecdotal but not in my experience. The professor can inform students, collect evidence, etc without detailing each scenario in the syllabus.

Every CS class I’ve been a TA for had the same generic university provided statement on cheating.

The professors did not want to spend time thinking about or dealing with people cheating.

Every time MOSS flagged assignments they basically sat with me and the student and said “You are likely cheating. Please don’t do it again.”. No one ever admitted to cheating and no one ever got flagged twice.

My “power trip professor” alarm went off reading:

> If we find reason to believe that a student or team has cheated on any assignment, we may inform the student or team promptly, or we may decide to silently accumulate evidence against the student or team on later assignments.

Why role play what you may or may not do if you encounter cheating.

The university has rules about how academic integrity is handled independent of the syllabus.

Including this line in the syllabus, and again at the top of the blog post is weird

In summary:

Chrome and Safari can’t be trusted because the profit model of the parent company is at odds with building a user first browser.

Firefox cannot be trusted because they work on too many unrelated projects.

Open source alternatives cannot be trusted because they don’t try to profit off of users.

Brave is good though, despite having a profit model directly at odds with a privacy first browser and working on many unrelated projects (multiple browser versions, a search engine, and a VPN, a cryptocurrency) even though they are smaller than Mozilla.

The fact that you can pay for a version that doesn’t sell your habits to advertisers goes against the point you are trying to make. Other than Google, every other browser does that by default for free, and even Google offers chromium for free.
