> Mistakenly we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product.

Clearly a lot of careful thought went into their strategy of using AI and firing engineers.

I think people are reading it as a request every 0.8s that takes 1s to process, instead of 0.8 requests per second.

Not sure what to term this as it's an acqui-hire without the acquire, but why did Anthropic want to poach most of Zulip/Kandra's team?

I don't know what the Y-axis is supposed to be on that Wharton AI capabilities graph, but I am not really convinced that Opus 4.6 has more than double the intelligence/capability/whatever of GPT 5.1 Max.

Rates copper peptides for anti-aging as evidence-backed by 'phase 2 clinical trials' and cites a single still-recruiting trial "for Acute Skin Wound Healing'. I think the main purpose of this site is to provide plausible-sounding backing for snake oil.

Same reason the livestream mentioned jobs about a dozen times in the 10 minutes I watched, NASA is in a fraught position and this is their way of fighting for some continued funding. A 'mass media' event captures more attention than a minimalist stream of chatter. (And a less cynical interpretation is also that getting the public interested in and engaged with space missions is part of their mandate.)
