keep building

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

This is a great article that I revisit at least once a year. If you haven't read it yet, you should. It's been around a while.

I can't quite explain it...but I have a feeling it will become apropos amongst the looming "AI layoffs".

hilarious how much execs want you to track KPIs, but will THROW OUT THE WHOLE BUDGET for AI spend

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

@ThePrimeagen it's just a tool.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

Don't thread on me

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

@ThePrimeagen we should only deploy on Fridays for good measure

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

Why are we using LLMs to produce code faster?

Use AI to move slower. Iterate for quality. Test to find gaps and faults. Find your focus and hone in.

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

@denvercoder gotcha. makes sense!

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

@0xTib3rius nah, let Anthropic burn compute over it

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

@LawrenceDCodes DIY all the way!

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

Look, I'm not saying it's a good idea but...

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

Imagine if AI marketing wasn't one vapid lie after another.

[Tib3rius @0xTib3rius]

I don't understand. Anthropic have access to Mythos++ level AI models internally and not even those models could tell them how to implement a nationality level block on their user base. 😭😭😭

So much for AGI.

@denvercoder

[Darrien @meddlin_dev]

@denvercoder Thank you for this. I'm starting on a shift as well. Corporate is an anti-pattern.

I'm not going to the trades. At least, not yet. But starting is my own company/consultancy seems inevitable. Corporate employment is quickly becoming a trap.

How many times do we need to learn: “cloud is someone else’s computer”?

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

META MOVES TO LIMIT EMPLOYEE AI USAGE AS COSTS REACH BILLIONS

when they should be thinking about getting users
