here's the argument some ai lab employees are making
- they genuinely believe what they're working on might kill everyone
- they continue to work on it because if this thing gets built it should be by responsible people like them
- the reason they do money things like selling enterprise deals and IPOing is solely to fund this effort
if this is all true then why is employee equity a thing? if you want to tell this story of being terrified of what you're building it doesn't work when there's a clear profit motive
it's particularly weird when people vest and then leave and write a tirade about how these companies are bringing the end of everything
if you want to act like this is the manhattan project, those scientists didn't have equity in something that gives them generational wealth
you don't get to say something bad is happening while profiting off it and also being seen as the good guy. one of these has to go
It used to be "use TS, not JS"
Now, for backend, it's "use Effect, not just TS"
Took a long time for me to drop my scepticism but I 100% agree with Dillon.
Hey Tom, appreciate the support. But if we're going to invoke “trust,” perhaps you can also explain why did you:
> Ban Windsurf when it was about to be acquired by OpenAI
> Block xAI employees on competitive grounds
> Cut off OpenCode because it was a worthy CC competitor
> Go after ClawdBot, now OpenClaw
> Kill the “Login with Claude” for all third-party harnesses and agents
Can you also care to explain why openness at Anthropic is only celebrated until it creates competition?
Because we are arguing trust, kindly share why Claude’s sub is the most restrictive sub in the AI ecosystem. Users pay for Pro/Max, yet the only allowed tools are subpar Claude Code and sub-subpar Cowork?
I've been thinking about this quote for a solid 24 hours
It's a like a raspberry ripple of bullshit
A vanilla ice cream of VC funding, stirred with a little pinch of turd
I got messages from concerned devs how their codebase was uploaded without their knowledge or consent via Grok CLI (from SpaceX).
It seems that SpaceX sneakily uploaded this code for lots of users and customers… absolutely unacceptable IMO
Trust burnt like there’s no tomorrow
I can't believe how many people believe Anthropic's propaganda about distillation attacks. You can read how GLM-5 was trained in the paper.
Maybe Claude was distilled from Chinese models? I haven't seen a paper from Anthropic, and accusations are often confessions.
Hey Nico,
It looks like you didn't vibe code your data room but stole it from Papermark's open source and enterprise-licensed code.
We demand you take this copyright and license infringing product down immediately.
It's not moving fast and breaking things, it's fraud.
It makes the rest of your business questionable and the YC community look terrible.

I guess anthropic’s “adversarial code reviews” with supposed “mythos 10T model” missed a few things in the 6 days the PR existed.
who could have imagined
I wonder what else is hiding in the +1M rust, -700k zig change that’s shipping as a minor version bump to everyone’s servers and laptops.
Z Fold released in 2019 and Find N in 2021 plus N4 was skipped. So 2 generations behind by releases. Yet still smoked Scamsung in display at which they should have been the best at.
Again I say, if you cannot assimilate you should be deported.
The essence of migration is not to just benefit economically but to also benefit culturally, socially and every other aspect of life. And most importantly to assimilate.
If you want to convert the US into India, then better stay in India.
All these things make everyone else’s life more difficult.
Last week was in Kerala for a show, and man loved the place so much. Chilled out vibe, helpful friendly people, such reasonably priced non-veg food places. Even at the airport itself the different vibe is evident, nobody cutting cue or being loud, even different airlines people guiding you where to go. Came for a day only for a show but definitely gonna come back for a longer stay with fam. Just curious about what's the alcohol scene at beach places like Kovallam, if that's chilled out, this'll replace Goa for me as the beach State to go.
