<p>This article finally discusses the new model, but uses as examples new products with less uptake than incumbents without enough time in the market to definitively say they're successful. This is no different than people making grand claims about AI coding and discussing the sheer amount of code produced divorced of actual outcomes for the business the code is emitted for.<p>I don't like mistaking work for outcomes!</p>

<p>Sort of. There's a lot of activity now in other places:<p>- Reddit has a ton of exciting content about local models<p>- Bluesky has some interesting developers toying with memory and social media bots since it's an open platform (unlike X)<p>However, most leaders in the AI space all post on X and sam altman + the sv investor class are all hopelessly addicted to it.</p>

<p>> Very few people with LinkedIn profiles read the social feed. Even fewer post things to it.<p>Yes, but many of the people who <i>matter</i> in professional domains do. Much like all social media, the prolific few who do post have outsized influence, and engaging with them can often be to your benefit.</p>

<p>I agree for some things, but not for tools or "micro-software" like jq that can get called a LOT in an automated process. Every order of magnitude saved for the latter category can be meaningful.</p>

<p>I assume you actually read the article and didn't just post this after a quick skim, yes? Because saying this:<p>> The distinction between Maven and Claude is futile<p>Doesn't make any sense at all when you read the article and understand what Claude actually does in this equation. From the article:<p>> Neither Claude nor any other LLMs detects targets, processes radar, fuses sensor data or pairs weapons to targets. LLMs are late additions to Palantir’s ecosystem. In late 2024, years after the core system was operational, Palantir added an LLM layer – this is where Claude sits – that lets analysts search and summarise intelligence reports in plain English. But the language model was never what mattered about this system.<p>The <i>whole point</i> here is that whether an LLM is involved or not is immaterial to the system as a whole, and it's a <i>disservice</i> to the public to focus on LLMs here.</p>

<p>What you're arguing for is more or less what the status quo has been for gambling. Like gambling? Cool! You can go to Vegas or a casino on native lands to do it. We have geofencing for mobile apps as well if you don't want to sit next to a smoker pulling a slot machine. Curbing it like this -- but not making it entirely unavailable -- acts as a buffer against the social malaise described in the article.</p>
