> We don't have a formal process for this. Nobody on the team keeps a complete mental model of Claude Code in their head, and we don't think anyone needs to.

Nobody on the team keeps the mental model of Claude Code as it is today in their head, so nobody on the team is able to reason and decide about Claude Code in the future, is that right? So no long term architecture strategy can exist as no current architecture understanding exists. While it seemingly does work for a system which is a TUI, would the same be true for a complex distributed system today?

The one that Claude Agent SDK uses?

Buying a license for a stock photo is paying someone who has put the effort.

Well, okay, I am not sure how much effort goes into creating your typical stock photo, probably not a lot, just still more than 0 effort it takes for the AI to generate it.

And yes, I see difference between an automated system flooding the web with AI generated "news" in disguise vs a niche blogger using AI to iterate on an image with hand crafted prompts. Labels are not perfect, just better than nothing.

Probably not critical, just helpful to be able to understand where the source is willing to cut corners. Helps me understand if the given content source values are aligned with mine without risking wasting time to ingest slop just to come to the same conclusion.

The same way I look at food labels to support local produce and those who don't try to trick me into thinking I am consuming something it's really not.

I personally wouldn't care for AI usage in icons, I don't put a lot of attention to them. Someone else might.

Adoption absolutely did happen, I am not questioning that. What I am questioning is whether it really is the revolution the people selling it want us to believe it is.

Just to disclose: I use those every day, I have two Claude Max 20 subscription myself. I am still in doubt how much more productive professionally it made me. I am having a ton of fun in exploring stuff I never would have otherwise though.

I define software quality in my daily life by this: how often I am delighted by the piece of software I use. Those moment are rare and far between, and it's not getting any better.

Slapping an explicit "I did not put effort into this" label on slop content is not censorship, its quite opposite, it lets people filter out the noise. No human can hope to be able to do this on their own at the scale GPUs can pump out tokens.

Authentic voices are today being drowned in waves upon waves of AI slop spam. This is not quite censorship but the end effect is similar - human voice cannot be heard. Just this time not because someone stopped the human from talking, but because they as shouting 1000x louder instead, at pennies on the dollar it costs to create something truly valuable.

The lullaby for the Gen AI era exists, but its for CEOs and it is being played in management meetings, it's main theme is about maximizing EBITDA.

The defensive mechanisms kick in because even though more code is generated than ever, we are not observing an equivalent rise in software quality or usefulness, some would perhaps argue it's even opposite.

If gen ai for code was really what it is being sold as it would all be obvious to everyone, we would be seeing better software all around us everywhere and posts such as the one here would just be laughed off, delusional, but they are not.

The code explosion did happen, the value of software this code makes - not yet. Not to say it won't, its just not here right now, and it never happening is still a possible outcome.

Yes, they basically pioneered lootboxes, they shaped and scaled microtransaction economy around randomized outcome purchases under disguise of gaming and then slapped a marketplace on top of it(to take even further cut %% nonetheless).

> I can't even picture gaben with a wispy moustache to twist evilly.

Add a 500m gigayacht to the picture, maybe it will make it easier. Or a fleet.

What ethics do you see being superior in the company known for exposing underages to gambling? The anyone elses must be really bad guys. Yes I like my deck and I respect their contributions to gaming on linux, but Valve is no saint.

> "addictive design of the algorithms"

Any self improving loop where the user is not in control, thats it.

If I subscribe to A and get more of A - thats fine.

If the algorithm detects that I spend 0.5 second longer on average looking at content with feature A and so decides to show me more of A - thats bad. At most it might be allowed to ask me if I want to subscribe to more of things with explicitly defined feature A, but even that assumes we are fine with collection of behavioural data like this in the first place and so it is a stretch already.

Transparency and control is what makes the difference here in my opinion.

Why not restrict the addictive design of the algorithms instead? No need to blanket ban social media access if the social media cannot optimize to steal every last inch of their attention. Anything on the feed becomes opt-in only and no engagement data coming from the user or from the outside can be used to optimize it, thats it. Control is back in the hands of the content consumer, parental restrictions become trivial, no black box algorithm deciding what bubbles up and what gets buried deep down.

More likely implying they are not being compensated fairly.

From what I've seen trying to play around with Claude Tag, it uses shared credentials. You set it up with Github org access, add it to public channel, and all random people in that channel can now ask it to do stuff with code. It's opposite of what Cursor does - each Slack member needing to connect their own Github account. It's a security nightmare basically.
