Soon we will manage factories, then it will just turn into factorio at work.

Guys it's going to be fine just relax. Everyone is AI psychosis'd as fuck right now.

Speaking of Dostoevsky Prince Myshkin in 'The Idiot' is a fine portrayal of this archetype. In fact I believe at one point it is mentioned that most adults dislike him while children are drawn to him or something to that effect.

Soon Levent will just be turned into soylent and he will have never been an Anthropic employee. We still need some progress here though.

Cast off your demoralization and join the resistance.

Transferring ideas in their abstract form is entirely possible now. What this blog post describes I believe even undersells the current reality. I've had success with finding crits by pasting in extremely high level or abstract concepts. I recently went from a talk abstract (3-4 sentences) to crits lol (finding that vuln type).

Yes. The orgs that have gone all in on Claude specifically (Claude Enterprise lets say) have an extremely distinct smell to them. It is basically one of things have gone quite off the rails and no one seems to know how to clean it up.

Who's more fucked the earth or us in particular? And who is doing the fucking then? I'd like some answers to these serious questions.

Lol, yup.

I think the hard lesson here that will probably get buried and obfuscated eternally is that we have literally just recreated all of the horrible parts of management but now at the IC level.

Every IC now has an entire army of claude or whatever agents indulging all their bullshit endlessly. I'm seeing it in fortune 200s all over the place at the moment. You have IC after IC just dopamine maxxing solutions left and right that don't play well with other IC solutions. Little fiefdoms exactly like what you would find at management barriers but so much worse somehow because for the majority of it you take one look and realize it's complete slop.

I honestly don't know how all this shit will get cleaned up but it seems like ICs are doing an insane amount of damage all over the place probably because everyone is depressed and demoralized and basically like 'fuck it'.

Same, sad how far Claude has fallen. I still think Claude code patterns are amazing so I just port those.

They absolutely are and they are also sitting on a goldmine of data they are using to enable them to do just that. If you doubt this just ask them for a demo of their agentic capabilities and start talking to them about roadmap, they are full steam ahead with fucking over the people that made them what they are.

I know I'm an outlier in that regard. It's not the peak/thinking I'm a color I find useful, it's the coming back to reality afterwards. Salvia is an incredibly potent perception cleanser. After peak, as your default perceptions slide back into place you can catch them in the act of taking hold again. I've caught myself 'putting back on' pieces of myself I thought I could never change/always thought was unquestionable/absolute.

You used to be able to find some wild stuff in GNC ~20 years ago, the 'pro-hormone' era was funny.

All the cannabinoid analogs are a good example too, people just want to get high.

I do miss salvia extracts though. Being able to pick that up in a head shop was nice before it got banned.

They might have a skill or something that goes from report -> 'fortune article' - it honestly would not surprise me.
