<p>This post needs some examples, because I have never had an interaction with Claude that made me think this way.<p>LLMs generally have a way to "play a role" (most earlier prompt guides ask you to start with "You are a <role> expert in a <domain>"). So maybe if you interact with it by asking questions, it might assume that it knows more than the operator and adopt that attitude?</p>

<p>I tested it to fix React Native bugs in a project, comparing it with Opus. It fared better on harder bugs, taking less time to find the root cause, but after implementing a fix, it spent a lot of time and effort on validation. This was mostly unnecessary, since most of the bugs were in the JS code, so for most things, hot reloading is enough for E2E validation and to run just the right tests. No need to run a full build and test suite (which takes 10+ minutes); the CI can do this.<p>I switched back to Opus because of this validation quirk. Overall, Fable spent 20% of the time on coding and 80% on validation.<p>I think using Fable for planning and Opus for execution could be a "best of both worlds" approach (I need to test this more), but for most cases, it's not necessary, and Opus is enough.</p>

<p>Fable feels like a version of Opus running on a harness that won't let it halt until it's sure the issue is fixed, which makes sense if what you want is a model that's better at benchmarks.<p>It's a very good model, but it comes at a huge premium: not only do the tokens cost more, but the model itself really wants to spend them all. For example, working with React Native, Fable never just says "okay, I did the thing, that's it." It tries to rebuild the entire app from scratch, run the whole test suite, and watch every log and warning.<p>This is the first time with LLMs I've felt that upgrading to a model isn't worth it, even if my company lets me use it, because all the building / testing was just destroying my machine and its battery, which keeps me from working on other things.<p>For now, it feels like Opus with ultracode is a better choice (less pollution of the main context, more parallelism in investigations).</p>

<p>It is hallucinating many flights in my region, some that never existed (so it is not an outdated data problem).<p>I also see some logic flaws. It overlooks the option of going to a major hub to access faster aircraft, rather than hopping on local hubs.<p>Also, immigration and customs are cleared at the first airport you arrive at in the country, not at the last one.<p>In some countries, you need to clear immigration even while going to a third country, so 1 hour is not enough to do it.</p>

<p>> there's not enough money to be made via speculation<p>I mean, there is money to be made. CATL stock (the major producer of EV batteries with 50% market share, with billions of contracts for stationary batteries) rose 48.81% over the last 6 months, for example.<p>But I agree that news about renewables goes unnoticed. I only see news about renewables because I actively seek out channels and websites that cover it. I wonder if it is because most companies in the industry are Chinese and don't focus on PR in the West as AI companies do.</p>

<p>The biggest competitor to Starlink is, ironically, traditional fiber.<p>When COVID hit, I knew a lot of engineers who decided to move to rural areas / small farms, because they could leverage Starlink to work remotely.<p>Last year, when I asked whether they still liked Starlink, all of them said it was amazing, but they had gotten fiber coverage in their area from a local provider, so they don't use it anymore, or just use it as a backup.<p>I think Starlink was a huge demand signal that there were people willing to pay a premium for faster-than-radio internet. So, unless they manage to be cheaper and faster than fiber, I don't think there is much of an endgame there.</p>

<p>The last three times I filed detailed bug reports as a client, all I got back were AI replies asking the same questions I’d already answered in the original report and suggesting alternatives I’d explicitly said I’d already tried. No wonder people don’t write bug reports anymore.</p>

<p>I think the main point is that "reinventing the wheel" has become cheap, not software design itself.<p>For example, when a designer sends me the SVG icons he created, I no longer need to push back against just using a library. Instead, I can just give these icons to Claude Code and ask it to "Make like react-icons," and an hour later, my issue is solved with minimal input from me. The LLM can use all available data, since the problem is not new.<p>But many software problems challenge LLMs, especially with features lacking public training data, and creating solutions for these issues is certainly not cheap.</p>

<p>Not sure if WhatsApp paid off, though. There are reports of up to $1 billion in annual revenue with the Business API, so this is far less than what they paid. I think Meta's strategy was to create a Western version of WeChat, which has a very high ARPU, but for some reason, they never invested in it properly... They added Stories, a "Venmo" feature, and then gave up.</p>

<p>Thanks for the write-up! Yes, this clearly shows it is malware. In VirusTotal, it also indicates in "Behavior" that it targets apps like "Mail". They put a lot of effort into obfuscating the binary as well.<p>I believe what you wrote here has ten times more impact in convincing people. I would consider adding it to the blog as well (with obfuscated URLs so Google doesn't hurt the SEO).<p>Thanks for providing context!</p>

<p>This article is so frustrating to read: not only is it entirely AI-generated, but it also has no details: "I'm not linking", "I'm not pasting".<p>And I don't doubt there is malware in Clawhub, but the 8/64 in VirusTotal hardly proves that. "The verdict was not ambiguous. It's malware." I had scripts I wrote flagged more than that!<p>I know 1Password is a "famous" company, but this article alone isn't trustworthy at all.</p>

<p>I am using API mode, and it's clear that there are times when the Claude model just gives up. And it is very noticeable because the model just does the most dumb things possible.<p>"You have a bug in line 23." "Oh yes, this solution is bugged, let me delete the whole feature." That one-line fix I could make even with ChatGPT 3.5 can't just happen. Workflows that I use and are very reproducible start to flake and then fail.<p>After a certain number of tokens per day, it becomes unusable. I like Claude, but I don't understand why they would do this.</p>

<p>There are already some great responses, but I want to add that one effective way to coach senior employees is to give them responsibilities one level above their current role and then provide feedback.<p>For engineers aiming to move into management or staff engineering, you can assign them a project at the level they aspire to reach and give feedback once they complete it. For example, for an engineer aiming to be an EM, I expect them to lead not only meetings but also all communications related to this project, while I act as their director. Afterwards, I provide feedback.<p>It doesn't have to be that extensive right away. You can start small, like asking them to lead a roadmap meeting, and then increase responsibilities as they improve. Essentially, create a safe environment for them to grow.</p>
