And the Kimi team broke the Anthropic ToS by training off Opus outputs and… nothing happened?

Are you kidding me? Who’s going to align synergy and hold accountable KPIs and vision plan the 3rd quarter and.. and.. other MBA talk. Certainly AI could never.

Jail time for execs. Only way things change.

A lot of this advice is good or at least interesting. A lot of it is questionable. Python is completely fine for the backend. And using SQLite for your prod database is a bad idea, just use Postgres or similar.

I love the small few who take the time to do crazy stuff like this. Very entertaining.

Stupid regulations are why we have an idiotic cookie banner on many websites.

I would guess OpenAI Codex and Claude Code are well into the millions subscriber range at this point. I would venture to guess the majority of them run in yolo mode. I have only seen a few horror stories on reddit. The same way any time you drive a car you can crash and die (many times through no fault of your own).

All that said, no way in hell I’m giving either access to production databases or environments.

This cope is insane. Even simple projects generated by Claude are riddled with bugs. And there’s no way in hell it could generate a larger scoped project without a lot of manual human intervention. But yea, TODO apps and trivial calculators are effectively “solved”. Same with leetcode. I guess that’s probably the limit of many people’s imagination these days.

Author mentions working on product people hate, GitHub Copilot. Honestly it ain’t too bad. Definitely better than a lot of “enterprise” software.

Don’t work for evil companies.

South Park made a parody about that where the cure is injecting literal money into his veins. I don’t know if you’re aware, but most Americans don’t have access to these kind of things. If anything, it’s simply demoralizing to know your loved ones get to die and the billionaires and their families get to live.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Was this AI modified or something? The writing is very odd. I wish it could go for more than 3 sentences without talking about how great our genius billionaires are.

Also this isn’t that interesting: billionaires have access to the best teams and clinical trials available. Of course?

Hey you’re welcome to your view. In my view that’s an insanely disgusting devaluation of human life that’s been put into peoples brains by propaganda. Capitalism and materialism sure is great huh.

Curious why the model architecture wasn’t talked about at all? Did I miss that part?

Nobody should have these types of problems in the age of AI agents. This kind of clean up and grunt work is perfect for AI agents. We don’t need new abstractions.

Meta doesn’t even need to use this, they’re just going to be constantly recording all video and audio from those rayban glasses ;)

Smart move, Zuck.

I haven’t seen tinygrad used for any mainstream production project or thing of value, yet.

Besides a lot of self congratulatory pats on the back for how elegant it is. Honestly, when I read it, it looked confusing as all the other ML libraries. Not actually simple like Karpathy’s stuff.

All that to say, I do really want it to succeed. They should probably hire some practical engineers and not just guys and gals congratulating themselves how elegant and awesome they are.

> Compliance isn't that hard once you stop looking for shortcuts and start spending time doing it correctly.

Trying to understand how someone can have this perspective when it’s usually someone’s full time salaried job in a lot of companies.

Why? So my government has more missiles to blow up children? No thanks.
