Unpopular opinion: grok bot is a solution in search of a problem - no different to openclaw. I’ve been a cursor customer for many years and absolutely love everything they do, but i see zero reason to use it when I already have multiple harnesses and tools for coding and/or “work”.

Unpopular opinion: grok bot is a nothing burger. I get that it’s allegedly 100xed cursor employees’ lives, but we’re back to the same silly usecases with bookings etc. all of this is already achievable with cowork on Claude or ChatGPT. I get it runs on vms 24/7, but it feels awfully similar to openclaw - a solution in search of a problem

@vineerpasam Without a doubt. But it’s also resulted in me spending far more time working than before.

@HunterWieman X really needs an auto-ai-flag to save us all from turning into LinkedIn

@themishra4402 I love Kimi, but it doesn’t come close to fable

[Charbs @charbs_io]

Few concerns:
- if I feed it a legal doc or a piece of work I need reviewing, is it going to treat it any differently?
- if I write code with it, is the output going to be worse because of the extra steps it has to make to watermark the work?
- is all the work I am getting it to do on my behalf, now the property of Anthropic?

Your nonchalant responses to some of the replies is worrying. You’re right, it’s ultimately a decision that we use their product and abide by it, but they sold me a tool which is meant to be an assistant. I didn’t agree to this. I just want it to do what I ask it to do without any fluff in between. This imo has nothing to do with eu laws and everything to do with anthropic detecting distillation.

Their approach is starting to lose me

@naval This is a rare moment where a naval take is insulting

@sickdotdev Their only saving grace right now is fable 5, but literally everything else is garbage, the models, the decisions, their comms

@morganlinton Not so fast… I think gh will survive origin is. I’m really excited to see what it’s about, but fairly certain nothing short of a miracle will get me and my team off gh

@SpotifyEng @ClaudeDevs @GeminiApp @OpenAI @Spotify Congrats but I have so many questions

[Charbs @charbs_io]

@leanderriefel 3k engineers for Spotify is wild even if there’s more surface area we don’t see/associate with on the Spotify clients like podcasts, ads, etc

@Baconbrix Idk siphoning my .env files secretly is perhaps one reason which stops me. But that’s just me

[Charbs @charbs_io]

@andrew_Tas Ok wtf just checked i thought you were joking

@kimmonismus I have a hard time believing this is solely because they want to comply with EU regulations

@sonofalli @theo Not including @Railway or cloudflare is criminal

@claudeai I don’t know anybody using sonnet 5.. and frankly that’s still expensive

@ns123abc This may be the reason for us to start reutilising our brains when writing

@local0ptimist @AnthropicAI Just get a ChatGPT account - SOL is great
