Easy just add "Make no mistakes" to the proompt, clear skill issue.

In reality people who use LLMs so it does not hallucinate are the ones that just have to little knowledge to actually see when it does, because LLMs do and they always will. That is the only thing you can get with a stochastic word predictor.

Have you added "Make no mistakes" to the proompt? Mythos can't go wrong then, must be a skill issue.

Use the existing Slop they have that needs 1GB of Ram for a simple Terminal app to create an even more slopped Linux app... If only they had any devs at their 500K and way up pay package that could actually write a simple app, that you know does not suck.

One can only hope EU gives them a GDPR fine very close to the limit of 4% of global turnover. But when EU is actually need to protect customer I think they will fail.

What do they then need another $65B for? To sell 200$ plans that cost them 1000$ to fullfill.

I can have $47B in revenue if I sell something that cost $80B to produce ez pz.

Boys we got more subsidy for Claude Code Plans! Let the VC financed spending of 1000$ of datacenter cost for 200$ sales price continue!

Clearly land grab, they reported billions of losses every quater. To be break even it needs to cost about 1000$ month, but then they would lose at lot of customers. Problem is they have no moat and will just burn billions of VC money to lose customers later.

Who decideds what is free speech and what is a conspiracy theory?

For a long time saying tabaco creates lung cancers was basically a conspiracy theory and saying it is healthy was free speech.

Lionga — Sat, 23 May 2026 09:41:31 +0000

Over 20 years of experience in full stack and mobile here. I'll do it for $200/hr and even use LLMs where useful so half the time is needed.

Unless you are a very well known expert in a certain niche, who the hell is paying $400/hr?

They are still a vscode fork with no moat? Like they lost about 70% of users in half a year which goes to show how there is not even the tiniest of moat.

It only takes as much time until the golden "make no mistakes" proompt finally works. Must be any day now as Altman and Amodei promised us developers will not exist anymore in 12 month about 18 month ago.

Which still makes no sense. There is the same chance we are flatlining now as that we are flatlining in e.g. 3 years or 5 years.
