I'm also an enterprise user and this has been my experience exactly. Same asks, same code bases, same models, much worse results. Everyone on my team is expressing the same thing.

Not only that, but the lack of transparency about what's happening, in clear and simple terms, directly from Anthropic is concerning.

I've already told my org's higher ups that in the current situation we're not close to getting our money's worth with these models.

Exactly. Crunching numbers in a datacenter is one thing, and it's a good thing. But being out in the physical world, making a positive impact and bringing value at scale is a whole other ball game. And we are nowhere near that. And before anyone says I'm moving goalposts, let me ask you this: you think humans are AGI? Ok, fine. Well, what if none of us moved, ever? Yes, of course disabled people are just as human and just as intelligent as all of us. But we didn't get to this point in human civilization without moving and we won't get to the next without autonomous machines that interact with the real world just like we do.

That's good, but I've never worked at a company that uses GitHub for source control.

Thanks. That's blocked for me.

So Meta is not releasing open source models anymore?

chrsw — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 15:03:41 +0000

> a generation of women were brainwashed to see it as a form of oppression

Is that really the biggest reason why people are having less kids? Or is it more the idea that these days you two good incomes live in a world with a rising cost of living? Most women I know either have or want kids. And it's really the financial situation that influences these decisions the most.

New comment by chrsw in "IBM Announces Strategic Collaboration with Arm"

chrsw — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:31:41 +0000

Not now. But my question is, what was stopping IBM from doing what Arm did? We are where we are now and it's too late. But as far as I can see, there was nothing too special about Arm as compared to PowerPC back then, on a technical level.

Maybe I don't know enough technical details about these CPU architectures or IP agreements, but I don't see why IBM couldn't have done what Arm did but with PowerPC.

chrsw — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 11:22:50 +0000

There's a lot of AI slop on YouTube unfortunately. But with YT Premium (or adblockers) I can't think of a better platform currently for finding distraction free content focused on your interests.

VitruvianOS has the clothes of BeOS, which is nice and refreshing.

But Haiku has the soul.

Current FPGAs would have terrible performance. We need some new architecture combining ASIC LLM perf and sparse reconfiguration support maybe.

New comment by chrsw in "Honda is killing its EVs"

chrsw — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 11:31:31 +0000

It doesn't have to be that way though. There's a bigger scam in the tech industry in general that says the path we're on is the only path we can be on.

More software doesn't have to mean less value for the customer. More software doesn't have to mean your tools and devices are spyware machines. That's just the lie we've been told.

I think all machine generated content should be labeled as such. And if a maintainer or a consumer or whoever doesn't want to accept it, so be it. But people should at least have the choice.
