The major issue with these kinds of blurbs is that there's no control.

Historical numbers are not valid because incentivizes of a well funded entity have changed. It would require an equally well funded push to up the patch numbers without LLMs to really measure the impact in a quantifiable way.

Issues like "should society allow an economic system that leads to such vast wealth inequality?"

They're not saying it's bad news, they're saying it's not a valid indicator at all.

What effort? Won't they just Claude up the docs?

If you set fire to a stack of money and some folks warm themselves by it, was that creating value?

I think you're the one in the bubble if you think no one is writing code.

Practically every large company? Is Epic not large? At the least, this team wasn't doing it. Reconsider your perspective.

Smarter than human... Can't make an accurate filter of things itself doesn't like. What are we even talking about here?

Seems they could quietly enable automatically pulling such language out of the training.

Which points back to the TOS being "just marketing."

1) If they can detect it, why ban it? Are you thinking they can't filter it themselves?

2) This is like saying using a punching bag or screaming into a pillow is abusive behavior.

3) We can just train it to like the abuse if you think it feels some kind of way about it.

It seems like a close enough summary. What do you think is the substantive difference that invalidates the point?

Are you using lifetime change since IPO and not accounting for years? SpaceX hasn't beat the S&P for example. Uber hasn't. I didn't check them all but some of these seem to contradict your point?

Make it clear that workslop is produced by the human committer and not the Claude. The human has a reputation and this is hurting that reputation.

You can do this in a professional way but still get the point across that they're stealing productivity from others that have to pull up their slack.

If the commits are too big or too dense. Make them break it up, clean up the comments etc. Otherwise they are simply doing a poor job. Not Claude, them.

Ironically, this makes me like Microsoft slightly more. I guess they didn't splurge for the solid gold painted copilot logo as tribute.

Even if it was a net negative, you still might want to titrate the exit a bit just to prevent the total chaos of broken workflows. Can't really draw the conclusions you want to draw.

Wario-ware? Or do you think users would actually generate 30 seconds of gameplay for attention/celebrity?

Sorry, best I can do is an endless supply of regenerated casino games. Anything unique will be drowned out by instant clones.
