Anthropic claims its engineers are shipping 8x as much code per quarter now as they did in 2022.

Unless you have 8x as many reviewers, that's bad. Like not just a little bad, but really bad.

This is such a house of cards built on debt and cheap power.

[wwahammy@social.treehouse.systems]

I don't know how to yell this any louder: EVERY LINE OF CODE IS A LIABILITY.

@wwahammy

We knew that in one way or another for at least half a century.

But we woke up one fine morning (was it in the nineties?) and we chose violence.

We're reaping the fucking whirlwind.

@angelastella this and micropayments. if we had set the reasonable expectation that creators should be cared for...

Voluntary contributions? We're talking infrastructure here. Excuse me if I disbelieve in the power of the free market.

[melioristicmarie@tech.lgbt]

@angelastella mandatory : )

if we had set micropayments as the norm back then, instead of pop-ups, per minute or per download fees...

Looks somewhat better.

Yes, the ad-sponsored Internet was the final and biggest mistake of the twentieth century.

@wwahammy In a Mostly unrelated but also very much same area scream:

CUSTOMER PII IS NOT A THING TO COLLECT. IT IS NUCLEAR WASTE. DROP IT AND RUN AWAY.

@wwahammy @krutonium Meanwhile, these evil corporations make serious bank on customer PII.

@angelastella @wwahammy "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." Antoine de Saint-Exupery

We've known it for over a century.

@ginoputrino @wwahammy

True. The window of uncertainty closed somewhere between the thirties and the sixties. (It took some decades to learn the differences between physical and abstract machines.)

[dp0@mastodon.social]

@tk @wwahammy @krutonium Yes, they do! Because capitalism turns everything into a commodity. They did so with food, our data, and our intellectual and creative output. And AI is now about securing a means to produce those commodities without needing any humans at all. This is what the so-called "leftists", which are actually humanists, were always fighting against. And that's the reason why capitalists tend to lean towards right-wing ideologies and, often enough, even outright fascism.

@wwahammy @mike_bloxam I will never understand the “moar code” crowd. This is not a good thing. How about “moar quality”?

3 major errors in every 1000 lines of production code I think is the metric.

@wwahammy
The 'number of lines' count as measure of productivity was already wrong in the 80's ...

@wwahammy Sidenote: Anthropic claims many things all the time, many of which later turn out to be lies. I hope this one is a lie.

[woo@fosstodon.org]

@wwahammy Code that writes code, exponentially so.

@wwahammy And power is only cheap in monetary terms, and money is just debt in the form of promises, from people who can't be trusted.
