"In fact, all evidence points to the contrary."

Um. No? I'd like to see how you conjured up that one. Because evidence does indeed point exactly to things just being as they are.

"You have objective value being made in the image of a personal God."

Conjecture. Unsubstantiated.

"Denying that leads to a lot of pain, namely nihilistic suffering because it's on you to "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" in any endeavor involving your own self-worth."

No? Sounds like you're projecting your own belief here. "If I didn't believe in God, then what purpose is there to anything?" It's very small of a belief.

What? What is rational about faith-based comments?

Literally nothing is rational about that. It's also just flat out off-topic.

Where's Dang?

The amount of rule-breaking comments in this thread is pretty much out of control.

I think and hope we see a lot more of this before the adversarial imperative returns from the company side.

People using Claude Fable to just make replacements for disgustingly enshittified software. We desperately need browser extensions to help make websites less scummy across the board as well.

Could probably do this with a much older model given that it's something that probably has thousands of github repositories for source code to do so.

they thrive the people in their own country struggle to survive

I mean only people with billions of dollars can make competitors to anthropic because of necessary compute costs

that's the barrier to entry

If those actually solved the fundamental issue we would already have an explosion of competitive software for major projects

Notice the website url is the same name as the commentor.

Notice he's using "trust me bro" benchmarks.

Can we just remove all the motivated speech on HN? This is just not trustworthy information at all and obviously is incentivized.

Everyone is grinding and marketing nobody is actually discussing anything for real.

I agree.

The worst part about it is like 80% of the conversation is motivated speech.

That's worse than the technology itself.

Sounds like fair game considering Claude is built upon the theft of creative assets of the entire world and aims to eliminate white collar jobs entirely

Doesn't make any sense. They could just force them to provide Mythos to the federal government.
