    Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM.

    Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting "code sentiment" via regular expressions, variable and functions names containing prompt parts trying to influence the bot, a completely intransparent mess of a control flow that makes actual maintenance and debugging functionally impossible and the prompts ... of the prompts. All the begging and pleading to the chatbot not to do this or not to do that or please to do this.

    It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.

    Now it is fun to look at the currently hyped product striped bare and showing its pathetic quality but that is the future of software if we let those companies continue to undermine every good practice software engineering has tried establishing.

    The software we have to use will be bad, insecure, unmaintainable, expensive with nobody having the skills or resources to build something better. As I wrote a few months ago: LLM based software production is equivalent to saying that fast fashion should be the only way to produce clothing. A tragic degeneration of the quality of the artefacts we rely on build for maximum profit on the backs of people in countries from the global majority.

    <- @xChaos búst, no dobrá, myslíme si, že je špatně. Proč si to vlastně myslíme? Otázka.

      @tante ... the scaffolding around a natural language engine isn't going to look like oldstyle heuristic code. That's what all those highly paid "prompt engineers" have been doing.

      Although it clearly eases the pain for people to come together and ritually denounce AI and all that sail in it, the fact is coding AIs work very well and aren't going anywhere even when the "add clippy to everything" bubble bursts.

      Just bear in mind it's widely used, but quietly on masto due to all the pitchforks.

              @tante Was it the full code base? I heard that some things were leaked which would prove useful for reverse engineering but that the code itself wasn't leaked.

                  > drunkenly pissing your name in the snow.

                  side note: isn’t it great which skills our (male only?) generation has developed?

                  younger generations probably know none of this. get wasted. snow. writing your name with a variable amount of ink.

                    @aras @tante I'm guessing this is equivalent to the people who say the digits of Pi contains the full source code for Doom: yeah, it might be in there, but who has the time to wade through all the extraneous garbage to find it? Just go get the real thing!

                        We have 8 billion people on this planet able to be an idiot. Now we've automated being an idiot and the greatest, wonderful thing about it: we can blame that automated idiot. Nobody is responsible anymore, you can always offload the responsibility to the Automated Idiot. Isn't this a bright future? </sarcasm>

                              @tante Ever since the Industrial Revolution, capitalism has been thriving on producing bad quality for cheap, and then selling that cheap disposable shit to everyone so they have to throw it out and replace it when it breaks. Before the Industrial Revolution, people didn't have many pieces of clothing, but their clothes lasted for decades. Then mechanical looms produced so much cloth for so cheap that weavers lost their livelihoods, even though their artisanal cloth was far superior. All of a sudden, many people could afford to buy a lot of new clothes, but then they had to keep buying them because the fabric didn't last as long as it used to.

                              Making things cheap, shoddy, disposable, has always been the general direction of industrial mass production. If it's cheap enough, who cares if it breaks after a while, just buy a new one.

                              First it was textiles. Then it was all kinds of consumer goods. After WW2, everything became increasingly disposable. Nowadays even entire washing machines are often made out of plastic so that they break after a decade. Automated factories don't care if their products are of worse quality than the things that came before, they just dump their cheap shit onto the marketplace until the competition crumbles.

                              @LordCaramac @tante washing machines out of plastic Haven't seen that!

                              Though they do use things like alu or magnesium spiders with steel drums which are susceptible to galvanic corrosion. Or light gauge painted steel instead of hravy weight steel and enamel.

                              Lower weight saves significantly on shipping for those overseas factories, at the expense of longevity.

                                Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM.

                                Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting "code sentiment" via regular expressions, variable and functions names containing prompt parts trying to influence the bot, a completely intransparent mess of a control flow that makes actual maintenance and debugging functionally impossible and the prompts ... of the prompts. All the begging and pleading to the chatbot not to do this or not to do that or please to do this.

                                It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.

                                Now it is fun to look at the currently hyped product striped bare and showing its pathetic quality but that is the future of software if we let those companies continue to undermine every good practice software engineering has tried establishing.

                                The software we have to use will be bad, insecure, unmaintainable, expensive with nobody having the skills or resources to build something better. As I wrote a few months ago: LLM based software production is equivalent to saying that fast fashion should be the only way to produce clothing. A tragic degeneration of the quality of the artefacts we rely on build for maximum profit on the backs of people in countries from the global majority.

                                @tante If you posted that code and said it's written by a person then Reddit would be tearing it apart. That's what Reddit does. But I guess robots get more leeway than humans.

                                  @tante Nothing you wrote will make a company reconsider its usage, when they're earning money by using Claude. They have to lose money to rethink.

                                  It's the same with every questionable technology. 😞

                                        @tante It is unsurprising to me that the Premium Slop Coding Tool is, itself, a slop-coded mess.

                                          Software Archeologist looked like a future occupation.
                                          #SciFi Pham Newen did a lot of that in #VernorVinge's Zones of Thought novels.
                                          Archeologists currently dig through ancient #middens as well as more ordered ancient to old structural remnants.

                                          But this looks like a mess made from the start.
