US regulates over-the-table political bribes. Corporate political influence is functionally bribe-like, a reciprocal influence economy.

To me it feels like it's done entirely by an LLM, starting from the product vision.

`from import `

And a custom import hook eating the error. To get value(s) for a given key, naturally we'd scan the module loader cache. Elegant.

This specific action -- taking the thing away from the user, while they're actively engaging with it -- should be punishable by sacrificing the designer to Satan straight up. A bit harsh but justified.

All valid points though, I'm pessimistic about Anthropic still actively diverting resources to these side quests when tough times hit (which might be in a week for all we know).

"Let's outsource critical decision making to a language model."

Small scale of this can be seen when attempting to single-shot a whole SaaS by the means of a severely underspecified prompt. This is the first-order blind reliance situation: our SaaS sure is implemented in some way.

Really fiery tarpits put the LLM higher in the stack: let the language model decide what the feature should be. Our SaaS sure does something in some way.

Having a human in the loop at all times doesn't scale. Not having a human scales, but doesn't work.

Bonus level "I have a hammer, all I see is nails": using Claude Code for random non-coding work, like dataset cleaning. It's really convenient to have a script spawning Haikus via `claude` CLI and feeding them prompts and JSON files. Money burn potential: practically unbounded, but also it's real work that the product people wanted done, so of course it has a cost associated with it. I'd be bewildered if anyone complained.

This is another difference to a largely organic developer: the ability to refuse a massively damaging or stupid task.

The dinosaurs of the before-LLM age will increasingly struggle to convince young people e.g. to seek competent medical consultation, because ChatGPT can do that much better (it's always supportive, available at any hour, meets you where you are...) -- this aspect alone is bound to have a death toll associated with it.

Or imagine asking ChatGPT to map an Alpine climbing route, -- anything with a bad failure mode.

(Can't say time is the limiting factor either -- we're both in HN comments, valuing our own time at zero.)

I think the point of Suno is to make you not search for your specific thing though, and instead produce your own. Searching for niche music has always been a thing. If our goal is to listen for free, we don't care about Suno (or any other way to make music) one bit, it's just another DAW for those making music.

And AI music in general sure has its fans, check out Only Fire for example.

You wouldn't care to order the food as I personally like it -- might be too spicy (or too bland) for your taste.

Suno songs are overtuned for personal preference in the same way.
