the claude slack harness shockingly bad

tho i am delighted every time claude replies to one of my messages out of the blue

seriously what is the steel-man argument for tech companies like Wispr Flow, where it only seems a matter of time until local models obsolete them

[Dhilip Subramanian @sdhilip]

I've dictated almost everything for 6 months with Wispr Flow. 44,414 words, 161 wpm, top 0.1% of users.

Last week I tried FluidVoice. Open source, runs local on my Mac, corrects as I speak with no API key, and handles slang better than I expected.

Cancelled my paid plan. If you're on a Mac, this one's for you: https://t.co/tCij9UroGs

@dwarkesh_sp Why can’t I just simulate the Amazon checkout flow …just vibe code it

[Zac Gottschall @gott_zac]

@leaving_tech absolutely not

once the agents write all our code, what else will we do but review code

is claude tag eating up all the compute...it genuinely feels 10x slower

[Zac Gottschall @gott_zac]

is claude painfully slow the past 2 days for anyone else

just in?

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Businesses are shifting from AI “tokenmaxxing” to efficiency, threatening the explosive growth of OpenAI & Anthropic.

@IAmMattGreen i love it when the agents give me time estimates for the work

and they're usually based on how long it would take a human

[EliseAI Labs @elise_ai]

Congrats to the @baseten team! We’ve worked closely with their exceptional team on fine-tuning our own open-source models, and it has reshaped how we run inference for our own voice orchestration.

Looking forward to keep pushing on what these models can do for our industry. 🤝

such a frustrating artifact of RL

[Zac Gottschall @gott_zac]

why do coding agents love to write fallbacks in the code so much?

i miss the days when the code would just throw an exception

[Zac Gottschall @gott_zac]

@karpathy, now that we have Claude in Slack (which I love btw), can we get HTML artifacts rendering natively in Slack? That would be nice
