Americans are beggers because they don't have employee rights. Some people euphemistically call this "tipping culture"

It won't be worth anything if they don't make their models functional. Opus is truly a piece of shit right now. Absolutely infuriating to use.

You're going to be waiting for a while.

Even Fable is bad at this, I would constantly have to fix it going down architectural dead ends or just making obvious mistakes.

Which sucks for people that want LLMs to do everything like a genie, but does mean senior engineers have a few more years before they become redundant.

Yeah Opus 5 is almost unusable as a daily driver without making me go insane from excessive claude babble.

But why would you use a model to store factual knowledge, that is stupid. We want intelligence, not a database.

You can, they are just confused about what effective altruism means.

So why can i still run all my decentralised apps? Where's this magical shutdown the government is going to do? Are they going saturate the airwaves to destroy mesh networks or hunt every mesh node on the planet?

Go home with your nihilism.

You'd think Morgan Stanley would understand stuffing debt from one failing company into another semi-ok company.

Disappointed Kimi has closed subscriptions due to capacity constraints.

With Kimi and Codex there is no need for silly Fable.

It amuses me that that PRs for the claude code source code are still openm

They released it because they knew MCP was slop

New comment by ferrouswheel in "LLMs aren't remotely like compilers or power tools"

ferrouswheel — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 07:22:57 +0000

This sounds like someone who hasn't used compilers for long. I remember plenty of fun compiler undefined behavior that had essentially non-deterministic outcomes.

And actually using power tools in the real world is pretty uncertain, try running a straight starting cut with a multitool against wood grain and then come back and talk to me.

Has Anthropic released anything at all, ever?

And sol is much more reliable as a agent for doing work. Fable sometimes just goes on wild flights of fancy.

New comment by ferrouswheel in "Qwen 3.8"

ferrouswheel — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 09:33:20 +0000

I dunno, I find Fable slops alot. Sol is my workhorse. Fable can be creative but isn't very good at doing work reliably (or without endlessly burning tokens).

Spend some of my existence living as a cat. Then visit Jupiter moons.

I mean, that's if we get the good singularity/AGI.

If we get the bad USA late capitalism and fascist AGI then I try to fight against it in futility.

How many engineers does it take to fix a bug?

Hardware Engineers: "None. We'll fix it in firmware."

Firmware Engineers: "None. We'll fix it in software."

Software Engineers: "None. We'll document it in the manual."

Technical Writers: "None. The user can figure it out." etc.
