i grew up between germany and the US — having dealt with the public insurance system in germany, it's not (much) less admin-intensive than the US. my mom works in the public healthcare system in germany and has to fill out heaps of paperwork.

are these clusterings early evidence of the models training themselves, i.e. passing on and amplifying their own tics to successor models?

yes i think the writing itself already speaks "claude brain" — not criticism, personally, learning with/from machines to write well-structured and clear instructions has been quite helpful.

i consult startups and i am regularly surprised to see how poorly-structured their employee onboarding is across all levels.

a new hand who doesn't have to wonder what the body is doing will be much more effective than one feeling around for other limbs.

coming at this from the opposite end of not having been able to release or do much without the help of a team, i really appreciate being able to go fast and produce imperfect results that can then be iterated and improved.

but also find myself getting almost annoyed when i have to do things myself but without the joy or knowledge that these correction will help another human being become better at something but just feed an opaque database that will likely not learn much from it.

i'm also super curious about the impact of the auto-sorting on hiring

esp. in a time when formal (white collar) qualification will probably become much less relevant than ad-hoc problem solving
