Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid.
Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

WELL WELL WELL, if it isnāt the consequences of my own voluntary deskilling
(plus a dose of corporate greed)
If only there had been warning signs of how heavily subsidized the rates absolutely had to be, and how bafflingly stupid it was to intentionally design workflows to maximize token use. If only people had been trying their damndest to shout it from the rooftops but were ignored because Corporate was listening to the automatic yes man instead.
How does using personal plans impact the companyās bill? If someone is so profoundly stupid as to spend their own money on a ātoolā for their job then why stop them?
Thatās a good point. I wonder if theyāre also realizing that the promised efficiency gains havenāt manifested and their code quality has started dropping. Canāt really say that without embarrassing everyone and so it gets written up as all cost.
does anthropic sequester the data it gets sent the same way on personal and business plans?
My assumption based on nothing except life experience is that all of that data gets pushed through differently coloured pipes into the same giant bucket with privacy concerns being ātoo hardā and āapproved by legalā.
that would be my assumption as well, but iām sure the business subscriptions have some language that suggests otherwise.
Dunno, maybe they believe the pinky promise that their code wonāt be used for training on the enterprise plans?
Itās more like license to sue their pants off if they get caught propagating obviously proprietary code through the responses of their tool, and if they are doing it but you canāt tell that just means your enterprise code isnāt discernible from claudeslop so no harm done.
Iām assuming if suddenly an LLM code tool is able to do something like write a parser for an unambiguously closed source heavily copyrighted data format and the only possible leak is the devs using LLM tooling, itās going to be a big legal deal.
by introducing more mess that has to be cleaned up later
(oh dear, how sad, nevermind)
that made me smile good and proper, ty for the lol
I love the orangeposters in there, some of them sure are thonkers
