Because of laziness

Haven't read the page, but working with agents is like playing a visual novel game, but with random delays and slowdowns added. You just, wait, consume and do a choice. It's a passive activity. It also has gambling elements, because what happens next is random, and nobody really knows what the result will be, this often makes people spend way more time then planned/expected with agents when things don't work immediately magically.

According to the test, I'm completely normal, are you perhaps the autistic one? Or is the test bullshit?

It's obvious Claude slop, a stupid meme for people who want to think they are special

AI slop, absolutely meaningless, don't take it seriously.

Btw I tested neither, 30% each; "the controll group". So I am formally authorized to criticise the page as a perfectly normal person.

I looked up what the numbers mean a couple of times, but always forget it immediately

New comment by kykat in "The Claude Code Leak"

kykat — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 13:19:36 +0000

Saying that code quality doesn't matter is simply false, if people enjoyed Claude code so much, anthropic wouldn't have to block direct API access to users.

Their "product market fit" is the LLM model itself, not the harness. The harness is completely replaceable in my opinion, it's just that Claude is the cheapest way to access the models.

And don't manufactures release different versions under the same brand name? How big can the difference be between authentic drives?

In my experience, it's definitely faster to do manually if it's something that you know well. What LLMs enable is to skip research and learning by producing usable code immediately.

You are not allowed to not be happy in this amazing new world.

Ask HN: Are you also getting more angry with Claude as you use it for longer?

kykat — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:10:51 +0000

I've been using Claude intensively for the past 3.5 months, during the last couple of weeks, I am getting seriously frustrated and even slightly angry because of the constant supervision I have to do, and how it seems to always try to cheat out of doing the hard task, or skip gathering context for itself. The result is that I have to be on high alert reviewing the work, and crafting nice and clear tasks that it can easily follow.

Are you also experiencing this change after using LLMs for coding for a while?

That made me laugh a bit as well. Definitely want to see some rigorous testing on that, I'd expect that on longer calls tha caller can make the ai say basically anything.

Not just when running out of context, it's always. Once it fixates on a goal, all hell breaks loose and there's nothing that it won't be sacrificed to get there. At least that's my experience with Claude Code, I am pressing the figurative breaks all the time.

I think that generative AI has many more downsides than upsides. It is and will continue to be a net negative for society, unless we have the collective discipline to manage the dangers.

I can only say what I observed in testing, and that's that having millions of instances of a class like Point3D{x, y, z} in JS uses significantly less memory than in Java (this was tested on Android, not sure if relevant). It was quite some time ago so I don't remember the details.
